18th Annual TheMHS Summer Forum

Cracks in the ice?

Illicit drugs and the mental health impact on our communities

18-19 February 2016 | Mercure Hotel, Sydney

In its 18th year, TheMHS Summer Forum is an annual two-day educational program that highlights a “hot” topic in mental health.

For 2016, one of the most pressing issues in mental health is the impact on our communities of illicit drugs, such as crystal methamphetamine (ice/P). The mental health consequences of illicit drugs present new challenges for consumers,

families and carers, governments and mental health services.

Forum delegates will be led by experts to examine the challenges from illicit drugs to good mental health services, highlight recent research, and focus on directions for the future.

Delegates will leave TheMHS Summer Forum with renewed hope for their local community.
