Feeling Good in My Head #3
Mental Health and Cultures
From Friday, October 2, 2026 to Saturday, October 3, 2026
This year, “Bien dans ma tête” explores mental health from an intercultural perspective. How can we provide care while taking into account the diversity of patients and caregivers—their backgrounds, languages, beliefs, and cultural perspectives?
This approach pays particular attention to the experiences of exile, migration, and integration, both in times of crisis and over the long term. It takes into account the tensions that run through our societies—wars, genocides, slavery, colonialism, racism, and climate change—and encourages us to consider individual health trajectories that are sensitive to this complexity, as well as a collective and intergenerational approach to mental health.

Are We All Insane? Reflecting on Emancipation with Frantz Fanon
Feeling Good in My Head #3
A psychiatrist and revolutionary, Frantz Fanon paved the way for new ways of understanding alienation in its dual psychological and political dimensions.
Working with patients in France, Algeria, and Tunisia, he observed the effects of the inequalities and injustices caused by colonialism, both physically and psychologically. As the author of *Black Skin, White Masks* and *The Wretched of the Earth*, Frantz Fanon remains one of the leading figures of anticolonialism; as a physician, he helped bring about significant changes in the structures and approaches of psychiatric care by situating the interaction between patients and healthcare providers...

Care and Hospitality: Welcoming Others
Feeling Good in My Head #3
How can we make welcoming someone a genuine act of care? And care an act of welcoming?
In a world marked by exile and migration, how does mental health care adapt to diversity? When faced with distress, traditional Western frameworks reveal their limitations and require us to open our minds and practices to the uniqueness of others. This event aims to explore the boundaries of otherness, vulnerability, and sharing in the context of mental health. What role does cultural diversity play in the treatment of mental health disorders today? How can we provide care without being...

When Trauma Is Passed Down
Feeling Good in My Head #3
A time for discussion to address traumatic memories.
The past never completely fades away; it seeps into the present, takes root in our bodies, and is passed down from generation to generation. How do wounds—whether personal, familial, or systemic—endure over time? How can we break the cycle of trauma? This event aims to explore traumatic memory from both an individual and a societal perspective. When we talk about mental health and interculturality, isn’t this also connected to how we come to terms with our collective history—a history marked...
