Global Systemic Therapy Summit

The Global Systemic Therapy Summit returns for its second year with expanded purpose and global reach—now paired with the Summit on Nurturing Queer and Trans Futures to create a multi-day experience grounded in learning, connection, and advancing systemic mental health care.
 
From November 11–13, 2026, the Second Annual Global Systemic Therapy Summit will take place in Bengaluru, bringing together systemic therapists from around the world for 90-minute, practice-focused sessions led by globally recognized experts. Designed for meaningful engagement, the Summit features small, interactive sessions, facilitated discussions, and built-in networking opportunities—alongside keynotes and shared meals that foster global dialogue and collaboration. The focus remains on delivering practical tools, culturally responsive perspectives, and strategies clinicians can immediately apply.
 
On November 10, the experience begins with the Summit on Nurturing Queer and Trans Futures, a dedicated gathering centered on the intersection of systemic therapy and 2SLGBTQIA+ mental health. This convening prioritizes the voices of queer and trans systemic providers—especially those from the global majority—and explores critical topics such as inclusive practice, global mental health experiences, culturally attuned supervision, and decolonial approaches. The day will also feature a collaborative session to develop an International Manifesto on Queer and Trans Systemic Therapy, with queer and trans voices intentionally centered.
 
Together, these events offer a focused, globally connected space for clinicians committed to advancing inclusive, culturally responsive systemic care.
