Building partnerships around the world

ESCAP strives to exchange knowledge at the European and global level. By building partnerships around the world, we team up with various associations and societies to develop a community of child and adolescent psychiatrists and allied professionals.

Below are a few of our active partnerships.

If your society, organisation or association are interested in joining forces, please contact our editor to discuss further.

The European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT) represents the consensus of psychiatric trainee’s associations across European countries and advocates for what training should look like, regardless of the country. Within the organization there is a special working group dedicated to child and adolescent psychiatry.

The International Society for Adolescent Psychiatry (ISAPP)  was established in 1985 as an international professional society to fill a void in the mental health arena. It is the only multi-disciplinary international organization devoted solely to the mental health
needs of adolescents. Members of the organization are professionals-- psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses and educators—working with adolescents in several parts of the world.
  
In 2003 the name was changed to International Society for Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology to reflect the interdisciplinary character of the organization.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. It works worldwide to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. The WHO supports governments in the goal of strengthening and promoting mental health.
