In times of global division and uncertainty, ROOM continues to serve as a vital platform for diverse voices from over 160 countries. This year’s theme, “Encountering Bravery,” honors the courage required to engage in difficult conversations with the hope of creating meaningful change.

Our evening celebration will feature the presentation of the Coline Covington Award, which aims to highlight individuals whose work embodies the transformative power of analytic action.

This year, we are honored to present the award to Lord John Alderdice, whose analytic contributions to addressing some of the world’s most challenging conflicts exemplify the transformative potential of psychoanalytic thinking in action. Lord Alderdice has been a supporter of ROOM since our first issue in 2017.

Your presence helps sustain ROOM’s mission.
