ASPAC Conference to hit Perth 2012 Mark it in your diary now!
Exploring the Relationships in Mental Health
Health, Recovery and Wellbeing
Asia Pacific Conference on Mental Health
June 11-13 2012
PERTH, Western Australia
Mental Health is at the cross-roads.
Changes are in the wind that will transcend philosophy, policy, practice and delivery. Decision makers at this conference will not merely consider but will most likely impact directly upon foundation issues regarding consumer and carer recognition, quality assurance, sustainable service delivery, value and worth.
It is a timely and appropriate that fundamental questions are posed by those who fund services, those who provide services and most importantly, consumers and their carers themselves. Undoubtedly this will spur robust debate around a whole raft of issues but one issue must be universally accepted: it is time for new relationships to evolve and within that new beginning we confirm and hold true the belief that consumers, with their support systems, are at the centre of any future developments in Mental Health.
It is timely that we meet at this conference as organisations, groups and individuals who can make a difference. This is an exciting time. it may in fact be a unique opportunity to construct a shared view that leads us to a new horizon.
The time to consider our connectedness, our relationship and our future is now and we at RFWA are delighted to bring so many crucial people together to engage in this process.

This conference is presented by Richmond Fellowship of Western Australia with the Government of Western Australia Mental Health Commission a Major Sponsor.
