The World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) will sponsor the conference“ Transcultural Mental Health in a Changing World: Building a Global Response” from October 29 to 31 at the Minneapolis Marriott Hotel City Center in Minneapolis, Minn. Collaborating with the WFMH are Minnesota-based mental health, health, social, and human-service organizations.
According to the WFMH, the conference theme was chosen to highlight the major influence that culture plays in how individuals, communities, professionals, and service organizations perceive mental health and mental illnesses, and how mental health services are planned and delivered in a multicultural community. The Minneapolis-St. Paul area was selected as the conference location because of the many cultures represented among its residents.
The conference is aimed at psychiatrists, mental health professionals, and mental health advocates, among others.
The deadline for reserving a hotel room at the conference's reduced rate is October 5.
A conference registration form is posted at<www.wfmh.com/documents/MNCallforPapers.pdf>. Further Information is available by contacting Ellen Mercer, director of the WFMH Center for Transcultural Mental Health, at [email protected].▪
