THE
PROMOTION OF MENTAL HEALTH

AND
PREVENTION OF MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS

From Research to Effective Practice

15 – 17 September
2004

Auckland, New
Zealand

 

 

2004
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM

 

2004
REGISTRATION FORM

 

 

Why
attend?

The
last three decades have seen rapid developments in this field and the
main barriers to enhancing this work are no longer a dearth of knowledge
or programmes but rather the lack of:

bullet

shared
information about on-going research and successful
programmes, policies and organisational models;

bullet

collaboration
on the development of new knowledge and the
implementation of programmes and strategies;

bullet

the
effective use of scarce resources.

The
Conference provides the opportunity to address these issues by engaging
with leaders and experts from a range of disciplines and cultures, discussing
the dissemination and implementation of a range of effective promotion
and prevention strategies, influencing policy makers and administrators
and helping promotion and prevention strategies take their rightful place
on the health and social care, economic, cultural and political agenda.

The
2004 Conference provides a unique opportunity to come together with colleagues
from a range of professional and cultural backgrounds, share and compare
issues of mutual interest, establish working networks and participate
fully in this truly international meeting.

 

Who
should attend?

To
meet the challenge of addressing the constantly growing demand for effective
promotion and prevention strategies, it will be essential to move towards
a more holistic approach and engage a range of professional, clinical,
administrative and policy-making staff in the design and implementation
of policies and programmes.

The
Conference is designed to incorporate contributions from a wide series
of disciplines, cultures and backgrounds and indeed the success of the
Conference depends upon multi-dimensional presentation and debate.

Participants
are therefore invited from:

bullet

policy
makers and policy administrators in local/national
government ;

bullet

professionals
and clinicians in health and social care;

bullet

service
users;

bullet

indigenous
communities;

bullet

researchers
and scientists;

bullet

representatives
of institutional settings, e.g. education, legal
and judicial and labour organisations.

We
are particularly keen to ensure that the Conference is relevant
to delegates from all over the world by offering a range of
perspectives for effective mental health promotion and prevention
in a variety of different cultural settings.
