AUSTRALIAN RURAL AND REMOTE MENTAL HEALTH CONFERENCE
Winds of Change:
New Perspectives on Rural and Remote Mental
Health
• Policy initiatives
• Primary interventions
• Promoting recovery
• Preventing relapse
Invitation
The conference will explore new perspectives within the P4 parameters by
way of individual conference papers, keynote presentations, and
workshops.
• Policy initiatives: This stream will focus on State, Federal and
International initiatives addressing rural and remote mental health
needs. Forward planning initiatives will be explored by the keynote
speakers in the area of climate change and its impact on rural and
remote communities with a focus towards depression and suicide.
• Primary interventions: This stream will focus on research into early
intervention strategies and treatments for mental health issues across
the great diversity of our rural and remote communities.
• Promoting recovery: This stream will focus on evidence based
treatments designed to facilitate recovery, particularly in the areas
affected by climate change, with a focus towards depression and suicide.
• Preventing relapse: This stream will explore research into relapse
prevention strategies principally in the areas of depression and
suicide.
I invite you to participate in our conference and join me, together with
the conference committee, in learning from our keynote speakers and
their analyses of our responses to the effects of climate change on
rural and remote communities, and in particular how health professionals
can help communities deal with the impacts of climate change and the
increased incidence of depression and suicide
 I look forward to seeing you in Canberra at the 2nd Australian Rural and
Remote Mental Health Conference.
