The EAMHID congress is a biennial European gathering targeting academics, professionals, parents, and individuals with disabilities interested in mental health issues among persons with disabilities.
The congress is organized by EAMHID, Konekt, Broeders van Liefde, and Arfie.
Our aim is to make the congress inclusive: individuals with disabilities will actively participate in all aspects of the congress, from preparation to the event itself. This is possible as a volunteer. Check out the different roles >

Under the motto nothing about us without us we will provide compelling testimonies, experiences, and lectures from individuals with disabilities. We can already confirm the presence of Glorian Verneert.
The following themes will be highlighted during the congress:
EAMHID is the European Association for Mental Health in Intellectual Disability. Its purpose is to facilitate international cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experience, specifically focusing on mental health care and support for people with intellectual disabilities throughout Europe. It boasts members from over 25 different countries.
Because Lonely Planet and National Geographic Traveler Magazine called our city Europe’s best kept secret and the most authentic historic city in the world.
Because you should at least once witness with your own eyes what Napoleon and the mysterious thief of “the Just Judges” panel already knew: The Mystic Lamb really is key to European art history.
Because Ghent is beer and food heaven.
Because the city comes to life again after sunset.
Because our venue, the International Congress Center ICC is located near the heart of the city and just a short distance away from the Castle of the Counts, the Cathedral, the UNESCO-protected Graslei and the Belfry.
