Call for Abstracts
Abstract Submission closes 01 June 2010

A Psychosocial Approach to Mental Health

The Conference organising Committee is pleased to invite you to attend the 2010 Asia Pacific Regional Conference hosted by Richmond Fellowship Tasmania and supported by beyondblue: the national depression initiative.

We invite submission of abstracts relevant to the conference themes. Priority will be given to papers that offer critical or reflective comment other than purely programme descriptive oral papers. The conference program calls for papers which advocate at all levels within service providers and government for policy and attitudinal change to assist Tasmania and Australia to lead the way in promoting best practice in the field of mental health and Recovery.

The theme for 2010 is Hope - Recovery - Future. This theme recognises that these words are intertwined and inter-dependent of each other; without one the other will fail to thrive. This is true of a person’s or community’s or nation’s health and well- being and we hope to explore these factors throughout the conference.

We welcome you to join us in exploring the future and what this may hold. Consumers, carers, service providers and policy makers are invited to attend and contribute to what will be a stimulating and thought provoking conference. We promise to ask many questions and ask you to assist with discovering some of the answers or options which are out there.

Keynote Speakers include:
Professor Patrick McGorry
Gregor Henderson
John McGrath
Brian Graetz
Therese Fitzpatrick
Kanthi Perera
