A global network for
Connect, learn, and collaborate with practitioners, trainers, and communities transforming mental health care through dialogue — 12 countries, 3 languages, and counting.
Find peers across borders, discover centers working dialogically, and share what you're learning in your practice — whether you're just starting out or have years of experience.
Stay connected with conferences, workshops, and training programs worldwide. Share resources and learn from others shaping how Open Dialogue is taught and practiced.
Join open, respectful conversations about mental health care. Your voice and experience matter here — as a family member, a person who has been through crisis, or someone who cares.
Open Dialogue began in Western Lapland in the 1980s as a way of responding to mental health crises — not with immediate answers, but with open conversations that include everyone involved. Today it's practiced and adapted in communities around the world, in hospitals, homes, and online spaces. The principles stay the same: listen first, respond together, tolerate uncertainty.
DialogoAperto exists to help these communities find each other.

There are landscapes that seem to ask you to stop and look more closely, rather than simply pass through them. Iceland is a land that carries with it a paradoxical image: that of an untouched, distant, separate place. But perhaps “untouched” is a word that does not really exist. No land is ever completely separate from what surrounds it. Iceland too, despite its geographical distance and distinct identity, seems to be crossed by exchanges, relationships, and influences. And perhaps it is precisely this tension between the desire to preserve what one is and the need to enter into relationship with what is different that makes it so interesting.
The 30th International Meeting of Dialogical and Reflective Approaches for the treatment of Psychosis has started.
Here's the Openig by Audur and the Hugarafl team. (YouTube link)
Many thanks to all of you.
