Sunday, March 22, 2015

The International Association for Women’s Mental Health, a multidisciplinary group that has the mission of improving the mental health of women throughout the world, expanding the fund of knowledge about Women's Mental Health and promoting gender-sensitive and autonomy-enhancing mental health services for women, cordially invites you to participate in the 6th World Congress on Women’s Mental Health to be held in Tokyo, March 22 to 25, 2015, in conjunction with the Institute of Women’s Mental Health, Tokyo Women’s Medical University.

The congress is expected to attract, as our previous meetings (Berlin 2001, Wahington DC 2004, Melbourne 2008, Madrid 2011 and Lima 2013) did, a large number of internationally renowned experts in the field, including, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, general practitioners and other women’s health professionals, researchers, students, decision makers, consumers and their families, who will share their knowledge and experiences about the best ways to improve women’s wellbeing.

Biological, psychosocial, public health and political aspects of health care will be discussed from the perspectives of researchers and clinicians from different regions of the world. This multidisciplinary and culturally diverse atmosphere should also provide an excellent chance for networking and formulating new exciting research and intervention projects for the future.

The theme for this year's conference is Trauma, Depression and Resilience.

Registration for the event closes 31 December 2014. VISA assistance is available from August 1, 2014 - February 15, 2015.
