From Passion to Impact: Building the Next Generation of Mental Health Leaders
Support a Future Leader, Transform Child Mental Health Worldwide.
Support for the DJCFP Drive is a fundraising campaign organised by IACAPAP with the aim of raising funds to sustain the Donald J. Cohen Fellowship Program (DJCFP), and offering travel grant support to shortlisted fellows attending the DJCFP 2026, which will be held during the 27th World Congress of IACAPAP 2026 in Hamburg, Germany, from July 1st to 4th, 2026.
The Donald J Cohen Fellowship Program (the DJCF Program) is a training program for young professionals inaugurated at the 2004 IACAPAP World Congress in Berlin. Its aim is to foster the professional development of emerging leaders in child and adolescent mental health worldwide, with leadership interpreted appropriately for different regions and countries.
Through this campaign, we aim to ensure that talented and committed fellows, especially those from low- and middle-income countries, have the opportunity to participate, learn, and contribute to the global mental health community.
Although we have set a flexible goal for our fundraising campaign, we have a clear target of raising 5,000 Euro. Every contribution counts towards achieving this goal. It's a significant amount, but we believe that we can reach this amount.
Donate today and be part of a global effort to transform child and adolescent mental health.
