11th World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies Congress

The World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (WCCBT) is a global, multidisciplinary organization committed to advancing evidence-based cognitive-behavioral approaches for the assessment, prevention, and treatment of mental health conditions. The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) is a proud member of WCCBT.

The WCCBT 2026 Congress will be held in San Francisco, California, from Thursday, June 25 to Saturday, June 27, with post-congress workshops scheduled for Sunday, June 28. San Francisco, known for its legacy of pioneering psychological research, offers a rich backdrop in fields such as CBT, neuroscience, mental health equity, and service delivery for underserved communities.

The theme for the 2026 Congress is:
“Health for All: Affirming, Equitable, and Sustainable CBT.”

This theme reflects WCCBT’s global commitment to promoting mental and physical well-being through cognitive-behavioral strategies that:

• Affirm individual identity, resilience, and autonomy

• Address personalized care while reducing systemic health disparities

• Ensure long-term sustainability across diverse populations and practice settings

The Scientific Committee strongly encourages submissions aligned with the 2026 Congress theme.
