30th July – 1st August 2007
Hamilton, New Zealand
Hauora Waikato Kaupapa Maori Mental Health Service, on behalf of Iwi Maori of Tainui, invites you to the 2007 Early Intervention in Psychosis National Training Forum. The venue for the 2007 Training Forum is the Hamilton Gardens Pavilion, set in the heart of Hamilton’s beautiful botanical gardens.
The theme of the training forum is Te Mohiotanga Kotahi - “The One Thought” – the common goal shared by consumers and Tangata Whaiora, their carers and whanau, and clinicians, of achieving the best possible outcomes for people experiencing psychosis. Prominent within this theme are engagement of young people, psychological treatments, the latest developments within international early intervention research, and alcohol and other drug interventions for young people. This will all occur within a strong Kaupapa Maori context.
We are delighted to welcome Professor Mason Durie, Professor Max Birchwood, and Dr Hinemoa Elder as keynote speakers for the training forum. There will be a range of formats including presentations, workshops and debates in order to challenge, inspire, and enlighten.
