Call for Abstracts from Mental Health Researchers



Research is a major strategy that will be featured at the conference:

 *   Researchers will present effective strategies to promote, prevent and treat mental health.
 *   Leading international researchers will share research on the social and economic determinants that affect mental health globally.
 *   Researchers who played important roles in creating the recent Institute of Medicine Report, Preventing Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People: Progress and Possibilities, will share the overarching framework and recommendations. A panel will provide more detail on the agenda for the future outlined in this important report.
 *   Researchers who are studying mental health issues for indigenous peoples will give major keynote talks.

We call on researchers worldwide to submit abstracts on their work, especially those that address imbalances and promote equity in mental health.
