It is estimated that approximately 450 million people worldwide experience mental ill 
health. 1 in 4 families worldwide is likely to have at least one member experiencing 
mental ill health or behavioural difficulties. We know that attitudes towards mental 
ill health vary among people from different cultures, ethnic background and 
countries. Mental ill health is stigmatised in many cultures forcing people to live 
in denial or preventing them from seeking help when they require it. Ethnicity and 
cultural beliefs affects the perception of mental ill health, help seeking and 
service access, and service utilisation.

The aim of the conference is to explore appropriate and acceptable services for 
people from diverse cultural communities around the world. This conference is for 
medical, health and social care professionals and service providers, including 
psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and social workers and educationalists. This 
conference is also for service commissioners, service users and carers, academics, 
policy makers, and voluntary sector organisations.

We have an excellent programme with 26 panel key notes from national and 
international experts in mental health and over 50 oral and symposia presentation and 
workshops. Our keynote speakers include Professor Vikram Patel (India/UK),Professor 
Dinesh Bhugra (UK), Professor Mike Slade (UK), Dr Bhargavi Davar (India), Professor 
Harry Minas (Australia), Professor James Nazroo (UK),  Olga Runciman (Denmark), 
Professor Sarah Salway (UK), Dr Suman Fernando (UK), Professor Kwami Mckenzie ( 
Canada), Professor Roberto Mezzina (Italy,  Ananda Galappatti (Sri Lanka) and Dr. 
Jayasree Kalathil (UK). This international conference will provide delegates with the 
opportunity to hear about transformative practices and services, understand the 
challenges and develop new ideas, create an environment for exchange and enrichment 
and learn from diverse experiences to increase knowledge to influence mental health 
policy and practice.
