We would like to invite you to this very interesting and
highly relevant conference which will have contributions
from around the world on mental health and wellbeing in
migrants. Many people on this list have great expertise in
migrant health and excellent contributions to make but
there is no need to be an expert to attend. There will be a
great spread of participants including people with
experience of migration, voluntary sector, statutory services
and academia.
The conference is free and you will have to bring your own
lunch but there are plenty of places nearby selling food and
drink. There will be a fiesta afterwards (the lead organisers
are Latin/Spanish)! More details will be provided in due
course.
