Mental Health Super Summit 2016
Here’s a great new idea in online education in mental health designed to support a very good cause.
From 6th to 23rd October 2016, Mental Health Academy and Act for Kids will co-host the 2016 Mental Health Super Summit, an online conference in mental health.
This is a unique CPD opportunity for GPs and other mental health professionals. The organisers have invited 20 well regarded speakers from around the world to present live online in their field of expertise.
Participants can pay whatever they see fit to register for access to all the talks. Proceeds will go the Act for Kids charity. Speakers have volunteered their time and expertise and will include practitioners, researchers, authors and educators from Harvard Medical School, University of Oxford, Pennsylvania State University, University of Michigan, Thomas Jefferson University, University of Melbourne, Monash University, University of Queensland, Bond University and Black Dog Institute (Dr Jan Orman).
Participants will have the opportunity for live Q&A interaction with the presenters and sessions will be also be available to watch on demand at a later time.
