2018-2019, Bratislava

This conference has its emphasis on primary prevention and on the interaction of topdown and bottom-up/grass root initiatives to integrate mentally ill people and to re-conceive health as a continuity: We are all crazily human. Mental health starts with the way families communicate, teachers interact with students, and working conditions that grant sustainability. The conference is organized as an interactive cooperation between participants. Slovakia, where the Conference will take place, has a pioneering history in the mental-health reform movement. See link.
