Themes & Topics

The GXC Online 2025 agenda is built around global collaboration, lived experience, and cross-disciplinary approaches to treatment and care.

From established frameworks to emerging frontiers, our sessions reflect the complexity and possibility of behavioral and mental health across cultures, systems, and communities.
