Rome Annual Convening 2025
Reforms in Italy have demonstrated that when systems are held accountable, individuals living with psychotic illnesses can lead fulfilling lives within their communities. The country has nearly eradicated both the institutionalization and criminalization of schizophrenia by ensuring accountability in community funding and removing the harmful standards for treating those who lack medical decision-making capacity.
Please join us for our second annual global convening. This two-day interactive conference will explore three themes: science, international policy, and neuroethics.
Day 1 - Deep dive into the current scientific understanding of psychotic disorders, led by world renowned psychopharmacologist Dr. Stephen M. Stahl, followed by a showcase of international policy and outcomes led by Dr. Katherine Warburton.
Day 2- Father Alberto Carrara, Dean of Neuroethics at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, will discuss the neuroethical framework and considerations inherent in treating (or not) individuals who are living with schizophrenia. This will include a hands on session on creating a worldwide model of care and consensus statement and a Call to Action on best practices for working with this population of human beings.
