WA Transcultural Mental Health Conference

2nd WA Transcultural Mental Health Conference Nov 2006 - Slide Presentations

The WA Transcultural Mental Health Conferences have been successful biennial events. The 2nd WA Transcultural Mental Health Conference, 'Broadening the Horizon', was held in Perth in November 2006 and incorporated the Convention for Multicultural Mental Health Carers. The event allowed an opportunity for all stakeholders in the multicultural health sector to convene from around Australia and from overseas. Delegates heard and learned about developments, initiatives and ongoing projects that would meet the mental health needs of carers and consumers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Keynote speakers came from Australia and overseas and presented challenging issues for discussion and thought. Overall, the paper presentations were of a high quality and generated many requests for slides of these presentations to be made available. With presenters' permission, these slides can now be downloaded.

Plans are underway to host the 3rd WA Transcultural Mental Health Conference as a joined event with the 19th Annual Mental health Services Conference and the 1st Australasian Refugee Health Conference to be held in Perth in September 2009.
