Debate Series
The IPA Debate Series was created to foster lively, evidence-informed discussions on some of the most pressing and complex questions in psychogeriatrics. Recognizing that many issues in the mental health of older adults involve differing perspectives and evolving evidence, the series provides a forum for respectful debate among leading experts in the field.
Each session brings together two internationally recognized speakers who present contrasting viewpoints on a focused topic, encouraging critical thinking and deeper exploration of current challenges in research, clinical practice, and policy. Through moderated discussion and audience engagement, the Debate Series reflects IPA’s commitment to multidisciplinary dialogue and global exchange of ideas in the pursuit of better mental health and care for older adults.
