In 2012 the 5th World Congress on Mental Health and Deafness will open in Monterrey, México. At the closing ceremony of the 4th World Congress, Benito Estrada Arada, who had presented the paper, "Mental Health and Deafness—Evaluation and psychological intervention of Mexican Deaf people", accepted the responsibility to convene the next congress.

Benito lectures at Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, and this will be the venue for the congress.
