The 9th International Mental Health Conference

 

Managing the Psychologically Injured Worker

Theme 1 -The nature of psychological injuries and their causes in the workforce - from trauma, bullying, harassment and stress to burnout, depression and anxiety conditions


Theme 2 – Implementing effective clinical treatments and promoting recovery

Theme 3 – Strategies for workplace re-entry


Theme 4 – Preventing injuries in the workplace


As knowledge grows about the causes and risk factors for psychiatric illness the potential for prevention becomes a reality. Mental health policies of government and community organisations now emphasise the importance of a preventive approach to the management of mental disorders and problems.

 

These approaches range from widespread public health initiatives applied to whole populations, through targeted interventions for selected at risk groups, to early treatment for patients showing the first signs of mental illness. Sometimes forgotten but just as important to the clinician and patient are rehabilitation and recovery efforts designed to prevent relapse, maximise recovery and prevent complications.

 

Others topics that are relevant to the conference will be welcome.


Authors or organisations interested in submitting a paper or attending/presenting a workshop are invited to submit an abstract of no more than 250 words outlining the aims, contents and conclusions of their paper or presentation; or about their intended role in a workshop.

All proposals will be reviewed by  the Conference Steering Committee. Presentations will be selected to provide a program that offers a comprehensive and diverse treatment of issues related to the conference theme.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be advised on 17th April 2008 of the acceptance of their paper. A provisional program will be available on the conference website by the 27th April 2008.

Bone fide academics and students from universities, who wish their conference papers to be recognised  as a research publication, may request formal review of their papers at the time of submission of their abstracts.
