A provisional conference programme has been thrashed out! There has been a lot to squeeze in and a lot of factors to take into account including some tricky timing issues so there will inevitably be changes, some speakers have not yet confirmed, others may not be able to make the allocated slot...but we didnt want to keep you waiting any longer:

There will be two broad themes for the conference this year:

Day Two: Mental health in our communities; campaigns, projects, initiatives, including the role of recovery

We would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in delivering a paper or making a presentation on:

How you are expressing community or critical psychology approaches in your own practice, work, research or thinking (any topic)

Mental health in our communities

We welcome papers or presentations discussing any aspect of research, practice or their experience in relation to either theme (and please note the first theme is open to all topics and not limited to mental health). Sessions should be no longer than 30 minutes, and all papers should allow time for discussion. We also welcome proposals for longer time periods for other types of sessions, such as workshops.

Papers or ideas for sessions should be sent to Grant and Rebekah, please include:

Presenters
