The 1st International Conference on Mental Health and Intercultural Communities

The International Conference on Mental Health and Intercultural Communities (ICONIC) is a global academic forum dedicated to advancing research, dialogue, and collaboration in the field of mental health within diverse cultural contexts. Bringing together scholars, researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from around the world, ICONIC creates a vibrant intellectual space where ideas are exchanged, research findings are discussed, and new collaborations begin. The first ICONIC conference will be held in the breathtaking landscape of Batu City, Indonesia a place where nature invites reflection, renewal, and intellectual inspiration.

More than a conference, ICONIC is a journey. A journey of ideas, discovery, and scholarly growth.

Just as climbing a mountain requires patience, endurance, and clarity of direction, the process of producing meaningful research, especially a thesis or dissertation demands persistence and courage.
ICONIC celebrates this journey by providing a supportive academic environment where young scholars and established experts can meet, discuss, and grow together.
