Tomorrow’s World Today: new frontiers in mental health
WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED/POSTPONED DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER WARNINGS. IF YOU ARE A DELEGATE/EXHIBITOR, PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAILS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
How is our technologically enabled, globalised and digital society changing our understanding of mental health and wellbeing? Can we predict what a society with good mental health will look like in 10, 20 or 50 years’ time? Is there evidence that we are adapting and developing new attitudes, strategies and technologies for looking after our mental wellbeing? Or is our uncertain, unequal and fast changing world putting an intolerable strain on our mental wellbeing? What are the necessary ingredients for developing and maintaining a healthy, connected mind throughout our lives?
Expect to be stimulated, engaged and challenged as we examine the changing state of mental health, consider the research evidence, and put technology to the test.
