The ICCPMH-25, set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from March 1 to 2, 2025, aims to foster global collaboration among community psychology and mental health researchers to share knowledge and establish procedures and policies for the discipline's continued growth and progress.

Participants in the ICCPMH-25 will have the opportunity to take advantage of a lot of possibilities to further their personal development, whether it be in their academic pursuits, research projects, careers, or business ventures. The fundamental principles of knowledge, professionalism, ethics, mutuality, and stewardship are the same when it comes to research in every academic field. The complexity of research funding and grant allocations has made it increasingly challenging for researchers, scholars, and scientists to develop and refine these values due to the abundance of research projects and experimental studies worldwide. The ICCPMH-25 aims to drive progress in Community Psychology and Mental Health by providing inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and radical ingenuity to students, educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals, enabling them to achieve big things in the field. The ICCPMH-25 conference will include keynote speeches, research presentations, seminars, debates, networking sessions, and exhibitions, to accelerate development in Community Psychology and Mental Health and contribute to global prosperity in the future. Even though the subject of community psychology and mental health has made significant strides recently, no one working in the field is particularly happy with the rate of their advancement. This one significant obstacle to advancement—the lack of desire and the absence of a motivating factor—is the root cause of all the factors contributing to this slower-than-anticipated growth rate.
