Details: You are invited to join us in celebrating 10 years of 'Advancing with Knowledge', at the 10th International Mental Health Conference, Wed 12th to Fri 14th of August 2009 at Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise.

This year the conference will review the accumulated knowledge and clinical wisdom over the past 10 years for the High Prevalence Disorders - anxiety conditions, mood disorders and substance abuse, and will focus on how this knowledge will inform practice in the next five years.

The conference will examine future developments in treatment approaches for these conditions. The keynote stream of the meeting will bring in Australian, New Zealand and other overseas experts to review the 'state of play' in knowledge and practice for the main high prevalence disorders.

The workshop stream of the meeting will cover new developments in practical assessment, management and prevention of common and not so common anxiety, mood and substance abuse conditions.

To help celebrate the Conference's 10th aniversary, all full delegates and presenters will be taken to dinner and show at the Australia Outback Spectacular... as guests of the Association.
