In a world increasingly driven by algorithms, automation, and artificial intelligence, we are here not merely to ask what machines can do but to rediscover what it means to be human

Welcome to the World Mental Health Day Symposium 2025 a one day event dedicated to exploring the evolving landscape of mental health, emotional well being, and human connection in a time of extraordinary technological advancement Held on 13 December 2025 this symposium invites educators, researchers, healthcare professionals, creatives, students, community leaders and like-minded individuals of the public to engage in a collective journey of reflection, innovation, and shared learning.

This year’s theme,theme,“AI The Art of Intelligence in Being Human,” encourages us to reframe the narrative around artificial intelligence not-simply as a technological tool, but as a mirror that compels us to examine our own emotional capacities, values, and vulnerabilities. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives-from therapy bots and wellness apps to predictive algorithms and digital mental health platforms-we are called to ask: What role does emotional intelligence play in shaping our future? How can we preserve human connection and high touch in an age of digital acceleration?

Under the guiding tagline,tagline,“Exploring emotional intelligence, connection and humanity in the age of artificial intelligence,” this symposium creates a space for thoughtful conversations, meaningful collaborations, and creative exploration of the interplay between human consciousness and machine learning.

As we navigate these questions together, this symposium offers more than presentations-it offers presence. It is a call to deepen our commitment to compassionate collaboration, to see technology as a tool rather than a substitute, and to remind ourselves that true intelligence is not only about data or efficiency-but about wisdom, empathy, creativity, and care.

It is not only about the future of mental health-it is about the future of being human

We believe the strength of this symposium lies not only in its timely theme, but in the collective wisdom and presence of those who take part. We warmly invite you to join us-whether as a participant, collaborator, or supporter-to contribute to meaningful dialogue and shared understanding. Together, let us co-create a space where empathy guides innovation, and where the art of being human is honoured, safeguarded, and reimagined for the future.
