There’s a silent pain growing around us—spreading through the cracks of our society, too often ignored, underestimated, or dismissed. It’s mental suffering. No longer a niche issue, no longer “someone else’s problem.” It’s here, now. And it speaks through the voices of confused adolescents, adults in crisis, and forgotten elders.
Compared to 50 years ago, the mental health landscape has changed dramatically. Today, it’s a true global emergency. Emotional dysregulation disorders are on the rise, along with self-harm, suicide attempts, eating disorders, and borderline personality issues. The transition into adulthood increasingly comes with a weight of fragility that society is not ready to carry.
The pandemic didn’t create the cracks—it just made them wider. Add to that loneliness, instability, and a future that feels uncertain, and the pressure becomes unbearable. Substance abuse, often intertwined with existing psychiatric conditions, has reshaped the face of mental suffering—more complex, harder to define, tougher to treat.
We can’t look away anymore.
The Jubilee of Mental Health was born from this urgency.
An entire day—April 3, 2025, at the Aula Magna of the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome—from 9:15 AM to 5:30 PM, where experts, institutions, journalists, academics, and civil society will come together to listen, understand, and shape new solutions.
Key topics will be explored through a multidisciplinary lens:
-
Mental health and society, with representatives from the Ministry of Health, WHO, Censis, leading journalists, and healthcare professionals.
-
Health policy, to understand what the public system must do.
-
Prevention and innovation, with insight from the Italian National Institute of Health and AIFA.
-
Work and inclusion, breaking the stigma in professional environments.
-
One Mental Health, a global, integrated approach to mental well-being.
-
Youth, sports, and spirituality, exploring new paths to healing, resilience, and meaning.
Participants will also be invited to join working groups, where discussion turns into action, and shared goals turn into tangible proposals.
This isn’t just an event. It’s a collective act of responsibility.
