Asia Pacific International Mental Wellness Conference 2023

Background

Two decades ago, CEOs from Richmond Fellowship of Hong Kong, Queensland, Canberra, and India agreed to hold a Pacific conference biennially to share their experience and progress of services in mental health. The last time Richmond Fellowship of Hong Kong (RFHK) hosted the Conference was in 2004. The Conference is supposed to be held in December 2020; however, it is deferred for three years because of the global coronavirus pandemic. As the pandemic is now no longer a global emergency, we announce that the fourteenth Conference is coming back. The Asia Pacific International Mental Wellness Conference 2023 (AsPac 2023) will be held in Hong Kong from 7 – 8 December 2023 with post-conference workshop and sharing forum on 9 December.

AsPac 2023

In the Conference, both local and overseas expertise, including speakers from the Yale School of Medicine and PeerZone New Zealand will be invited to share the latest, cutting-edge knowledge of relevance to mental health. Apart from the Conference, there will be workshops, parallel presentation sessions, exhibitions, and performances from peers, people in recovery, and their families.
Practitioners from international and local helping industries, people with lived experience, caregivers, peers, health professionals, academics, and those interested in mental health, are welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing you in the AsPac 2023.

Our conference aims to:

  • Share the latest knowledge and experience in mental wellness with people-in-recovery, their caregivers, peers, mental health service providers, and other helping professionals.
  • Advocate Recovery and Recovering Citizenship of people-in-recovery
  • Connect with people who are experiencing various stages of recovery and their caregivers.
