A PRIME conference for tutors and others with an involvement in mental health
8 January 2011, Johnson House, 6 Marshalsea Road, London SE1 1HL
Mental illnesses from depression to acute psychosis to PTSD are a major problem for those living in poorer parts of the world but often poorly understood, deeply stigmatised, poorly treated and often low on priority lists of governments.

This day conference will include workshops where participants can share their experiences and network with others interspersed with keynote addresses from PRIME tutors and others working overseas either full time or with short-term teaching visits.
