Dublin to host the International Association of Youth Mental Health Conference in 2026

It’s the largest gathering of researchers, practitioners and young people supporting youth mental health in the world.

And next year the International Association for Youth Mental Health (IAYMH) Conference will take place in Dublin.

Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health, with the support of the Department of Health and the HSE, was successful in bidding to bring the prestigious conference to Ireland.

The conference will take place at Dublin’s Convention Centre from November 25th to 27th, 2026.

This global conference will be planned and delivered in partnership with young people. It will spotlight cutting-edge Youth Mental Health practice, policy and research, connect young people with each other, researchers, practitioners, organisations, and policy makers, to explore how evidence drives change in policy, practice, and services.
