Psychópolis is the result of a long, exciting and sometimes bumpy journey—both personal and professional. It is an evolution, a response, and a vision. It emerges from years of navigating the complexity of change-making, often under pressure and against the grain. It is built on the belief that mental wealth is a public good, and that interdisciplinary, creative work can shape healthier, fairer futures, for people and for systems. With The Psychópolis, I want to offer a platform-city where experience, vision, and community intersect,, creating stations of growth, learning, and care for all who enter. The Psychopolis is here to connect communities to build together the city of Mental Wealth. The city that makes everyone feel included and appreciated.
Mission and Objectives
We envision a world where mental health is not only accessible but interconnected with our rights, our relationships, our communities, and our futures.
The Psychópolis aspires to become a hub for mental well-being and social change — one that bridges the clinical, academic, and civil society spheres. Whether you’re an individual seeking support, an NGO in need of strategic guidance, or a city looking to build inclusive systems, we invite you to find your station in The Psychópolis — and grow with us.
Main Projects / Activities
The Psychópolis is a mental well-being city: a living, symbolic environment that integrates psychological support, community spaces, and personal development. It structures its activities around the “City of Well being” metaphor, organized around four main “districts”:
“Therapy Stations”: one to one therapy services and counseling; “Workplace Agora”: consultancy for groups and organizations, trainings & workshops; Transnational “Project Labs”: Spaces for co-developing and testing new ideas with rigor and heart, empowering individuals, transforming care systems, social structures, and public policies; building on the extensive experience of its founder and advisory circle experts in project management, research, training adults, youth and professionals, it aspires to develop and test new methods for supporting individuals and build supportive communities.
Knowledge Quarters: virtual spaces to share its content and tools, such as e-courses, toolkits and workbooks, informational material
Areas of Expertise:
•Mental Health and Psychosocial Support
•Gender Equity and Rights
•Health Rights, health systems and policy
•Inclusive Education, Non Formal Learning
•Humanitarian work and Migration-integration
•Youth Empowerment
•Culture for social impact – art meets psychological expression and social impact
•EU projects and proposals (Erasmus+, CERV, EU4Health, AMIF etc)
How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
The Psychópolis has to offer to the network a new concept grounded on years of experience: It is a new organization born from a convergence of two decades of lived experience, with clinical, academic, project and nonprofit work, non-formal learning methodologies in training for youth, adults and professionals, and a growing awareness of gaps between the reality and theory in how individuals and communities are supported in their psychological and social well-being. Although a newcomer partner, its founder and experts have extensive experience in EU end-to-end project cycles- concept, development, implementation, evaluation (E+, CERV, EU4Health, AMIF). Its varied expertise will contribute to partner's work on inclusion and personal development to boost mental well being and community support. Its founder, a psychologist, seasoned non-formal trainer, and long time activist, project manager and expert in gender, health and inclusion, applies non-formal learning methodologies, storytelling using metaphors and exercises with historical case collection and lived experience, working with experienced advisors. The involvement of mental health professionals and experts in both psychology and inclusion in social impact project is highly needed, while mental health professionals also need training on gender mainstreaming and inclusion matters.
