IMPORTANT CONFERENCE UPDATE: In
recognition of the increased financial restraints that infant, child
and adolescent mental health and well being organisations are currently
facing, Werry Centre has decided to revamp this year's conference to be
more streamlined and give greater value for money, while keeping all of
the excellent opportunities for professional development and
networking. The conference will now be held over 2 days; 15 & 16
September with pre-conference workshops on 14th September. Fees have
been reduced accordingly, those who have already registered will be contacted in due course.
Earlybird registration date extended to Monday 9th August!
Nga mihi mahana ki a koutou - Warm Greetings to you all
On
behalf of the local conference organising committee from the Child and
Adolescent Mental Health Services team at Nelson Marlborough DHB and
our partners at the Werry Centre for Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Workforce Development we would like to invite you to our next
conference to be held in Nelson 15th to 16th September 2010.
At the recent CAMHS national sector leaders day it was generally agreed
that this conference plays an important part in upskilling the
workforce, revitalising practice and sharing knowedge, all of which
benefit service users and their families. We encourage you to
attend and participate in the conference and to make submissions for
the Inaugural Service Innovations Awards.
The theme of the conference is
Attachments
– those important attachments that support children and youth to reach
their full potential. The conference is an opportunity to
showcase programmes and innovative ways that families and communities
help secure those important attachments. We hope to enhance
your
own models of working with children and youth in the mental health
sector with outstanding keynote speakers who understand the challenges
of today’s young people and ways of us all working together for a
better world.
We invite you to join us in sunny Nelson with our
beautiful beaches and National parks. Enjoy the
creative
talent of Nelson, be inspired by the craftsmanship of our local
Artists.
Put these dates in your diary and tell all your colleagues to come and
join us in sunny Nelson in September!
