Introduction

Following the success of the First Forum for Training and Education in the Field of Mental Health and Addiction Treatment, which was held last year on December 25, 2024, under the title (Opportunities and Challenges), and which was considered the first forum of its kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to address this topic, with the attendance of more than 500 specialists from various disciplines in mental health and addiction treatment, and the participation of governmental and private sectors, the Second Forum for Training and Education in the Field of Mental Health and Addiction Treatment is being held under the title (Training Practices in the Field of Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Locally and Regionally), based on the recommendations of the first forum, one of which was that the second forum should be held at the local and regional levels due to the presence of many training programs currently offered in the field of mental health and addiction treatment in some Arab countries, which have been accredited by the Ministry of Education for those who wish to enhance their knowledge, skills, and self-development in their areas of specialization, in alignment with the Saudi Vision 2030. Therefore, the second forum targets all governmental, private, and third-sector (non-profit) training and educational entities inside and outside the Kingdom to introduce the training programs currently offered in the same field of specialization.
