We had an incredibly productive and inspiring IAFMHS conference in Dublin, Ireland. Hundreds of researchers and practitioners from around the world had the great pleasure of presenting their work and listening to others within the field of forensic mental health.

This conference was hosted to connect international colleagues in the forensic mental health field. We received over 400 submissions for a final conference program of over 260 symposia, round table, oral paper, poster and virtual poster presentations.

Additionally, we have 9 Special Interest Groups, including a brand new one “FORNEUROTECH” that met at the conference, in a hybrid format, fully online or live at the conference.

We are proud of the outstanding attendance of over 530 participants from 25 different countries across 6 continents, including  91 students, all of whom traveled from across the globe to join us.  

Three days of engaging with inspirational experts, researchers, and clinicians from around the globe provided an incredible opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from one another, discuss challenges, and discover new, creative solutions and pathways to improve prevention, intervention, risk assessment, and riskmanagement — ultimately contributing meaningfully to the field.
