Universidad Gabriela Mistral to host 2026 International Psychology Congress

The Universidad Gabriela Mistral (UGM) School of Psychology has announced the V International Psychology Congress UGM 2026. The event, titled ‘Well-being ecosystems: family, environments and public policies in the prevention of violence’, will focus on three primary axes.

The first axis addresses well-being throughout the life cycle and the strengthening of family bonds, specifically looking at increasing loneliness and tensions in parent-child and peer relationships. The second axis focuses on healthy coexistence and safety in digitalized environments, aiming to study the effects of social media overuse and digital tools on children and adolescents. The third axis will explore intervention strategies and public policies to strengthen well-being and prevent violence.

The congress will feature keynote speakers and academic presentations from specialists in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina to facilitate the exchange of international experiences and evidence-based practices.
