🗣️Speakers

The event Adolescent mental health: a community intervention perspective is a research seminar between UNAM Europe and Ulysseus. Hosted by the University of Seville from 7-8 May 2026 and offered in hybrid mode, this seminar gathers lecturers and experts in mental health from 10 different universities in Europe and Latin America.

The event is addressed to academic staff, students or practitioners interested in the topics covered.

Sessions will be held in English or Spanish depending on the speaker.

Aim

To learn about and share experiences and approaches regarding preventive interventions and the improvement of psychological health and well-being for adolescents and young adults in Europe. This includes school settings, neighborhoods, communities, and urban spaces, as well as digitalized interventions. The goal is to outline an agenda for research, implementation, and evaluation of the interventions UNAM will deploy for its student community in the coming years.

Why this event

The purpose is to address topics of contemporary relevance and shared interest to create academic collaboration networks across the Atlantic from an interdisciplinary perspective. UNAM is the largest university in Ibero-America, with a population of 373,000 students, 106,000 of whom are in high school—meaning they are young people between the ages of 14 and 19. In recent times, especially following the Covid-19 pandemic, mental health issues among young people have multiplied. This has led to an increase in manifestations of loneliness, stress, and behavioral disorders, jeopardizing their well-being and that of their environment. UNAM has decided to support the mental health of its community, particularly its students, through individual, group, and community interventions. These efforts must be enriched by the contributions of specialists and international experiences in the field.
