The proceedings of the international congress “Person-Centered Health and the Resilient Adolescent”, held in Assisi-S.Maria degli Angeli-Italy on October 25, 2025, have officially concluded. The event brought together experts, clinicians, educators, and institutional representatives from around the world, with the shared goal of promoting a scientific and humanistic paradigm centered on the person and adolescent resilience.
This landmark event in scientific and diplomatic dialogue on youth health and paradigm shifts in medicine was held to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Ambrosiana University and the 31st Anniversary of the World Federation and Society of Adolescentology and the Italian Society of Adolescentology and Medicine.
The opening ceremony featured the official presentation of the Universal Declaration of Youth Rights and Duties, read and commented by adolescent delegates from Italy.
During the congress, the World Society of Person-Centered Medicine, the Medicine paradigm shift born in Italy in 1999, was officially founded—an historic initiative marking the beginning of a new global alliance for scientific, educational, and clinical innovation. The founding members are: Giuseppe R. Brera, (Italy) Richard Fiordo, (Italy-USA) Vito Galante,(Italy) Paolo Garascia,(Italy) Roy Kallivayalil, (India)Antonio Licari, (Italy) Mariangela Porta,(Italy) Ettore Ruberti, (Italy)Claudio Violato (Italy-Canada)
The workshop on the epistemological fragmentation of research on adolescence highlighted the need to adopt the unitary epistemological paradigm of Adolescentology , that starts from the adolescent as person whose primary evolutionary task is to respond to the natural quest for truth, love, and beauty, as highlighted by Kairology, by overcoming the necessary unconscious conflict between pregenitality—the world of the child—and genitality—the world of the adult.
The Secretariat extends its sincere gratitude to all participants for their scientific, human, and institutional contributions, and invites continued dialogue and collaboration through the University’s official channels..
