Mental Health and Juvenile Justice
Around the world, young people, especially those in poor and disadvantaged communities, are improperly incarcerated each year due to lack of available mental health services.
Promoting mental health—intervening early—and providing appropriate treatment to young people can change their lives and save enormous social and economic costs. Join us as we address these issues at the Sixth World Conference on the Promotion of Mental Health and Prevention of Mental and Behavioral Disorders.
The conference will focus on five public health strategies to address imbalances and promote equity in mental health:
* Research on promotion and prevention
* Influencing advocacy and policy
* Developing stakeholder partnerships
* Implementing effective programs
* Developing an effective workforce for promotion and prevention
Join us
The Sixth World Conference will give researchers, public health practitioners, activists, educators, law enforcement personnel, and others a chance to come together to share findings, ideas, and innovative approaches in the field.
