TheMHS CONFERENCE 2018ii

TheMHS Learning Network is a registered charity run by a volunteer Board. Our focus is to improve mental health services in Australia and New Zealand.

TheMHS events bring together people from across Australia and New Zealand to stimulate debates that challenge the boundaries of present knowledge and ideas about mental health care and mental health systems.

We believe in promoting positive attitudes about mental health and mental illness.

Our forums foster the exchange of ideas, focus discussion on workforce development, and are a great place for networking and debate for professionals, consumers, families and carers, managers, researchers and policy–makers.

TheMHS Learning Network is an independent, incorporated, not–for–pro�t organisation funded by delegate registrations, government grants and sponsors.

Welcome back to where TheMHS Conference all began – beautiful Adelaide!

In 1991, a small group organised a conference just a few kilometres away at Glenside Hospital that featured consumer keynote speaker Simon Champ and UK psychologist Geoff Shepherd. It was so unique, life–changing and popular that in 2018, we are holding our 4th Adelaide TheMHS Conference, and 28th overall!

Over the next four days, up to 1,000 delegates will mingle with three keynote speakers and over 300 presenters across ten streams. We will have forums organised by and for people with lived experience and people who are carers/wha-nau, and we will have a Mad Pride concert that has already exceeded expectations. We will engage with our �ve sponsors and 20 exhibitors, and enjoy top–class catering that enables plenty of time for catching up with colleagues in the sector. We will have launches, meetings and events throughout.

There is so much to look forward to – from our home–grown Awards Ambassador, Julia Gillard; our featured symposia that delve into important and emerging issues; and of course, the local Bean Buggy social enterprise coffee cart run by Baptist Care SA. All proceeds from your donations for coffee at Bean Buggy will support young people building con�dence and connection with their community.

I know that you will enjoy our program, and the hospitality of our local committee while you are in Adelaide. Thank you for attending TheMHS Conference 2018 and helping shape the future for mental health in Australia and New Zealand.

Warm regards,

Vivienne MillerDirectorTheMHS Learning Network

To celebrate 27 years of The Mental Health Service (TheMHS) Awards of Australia and New Zealand, we invite you to attend the TheMHS Awards Presentation Ceremony on Wednesday 29 August 2018 at 9:15 AM in Hall C of the Adelaide Convention Centre.

The �rst Australia and New Zealand TheMHS Awards were presented by the Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health, the Hon Brian Howe, MP, at the 1992 TheMHS Conference. TheMHS Awards recognise and reward achievement in the mental health �eld for Programs and Services, Research and Evaluation, Media Journalism and for Exceptional Contribution by an Individual. 2018 will mark 27 Years of TheMHS Awards – recognising and celebrating best practice, excellence and innovation in mental health.

Join us on Wednesday morning as we recognise and celebrate great work in mental health services. We are pleased to welcome Ms Nicolle Flint, MP, to present the awards on behalf of the Commonwealth Minister for Health, the Hon. Greg Hunt, MP. We also welcome the Hon. Julia Gillard AC, Chair of beyondblue, as the TheMHS Awards Ambassador for 2018.

Now in their 27th year, TheMHS Awards continue to take pride in recognising and celebrating the hard work and outstanding achievement of people working in mental health.


TUESDAY 28 AUGUST 2018

Being Bold to Be Heard

We know from experience and evidence that the best people to shape better outcomes for people living with and/or caring for someone with mental health issues, are those who also have a lived experience. Under-representation and a lack of valuing of lived experience expertise remains an issue in mainstream service delivery which is based predominantly on the medical model. The ‘roar’ of this model commands attention whilst the ‘whisper’ of people who live with mental health issues may go unnoticed.

The 2018 TheMHS Pre-Conference Forums bring together consumers and carers from across Australia and New Zealand to explore

2018 PRE–CONFERENCE CONSUMER & CARER/FAMILY/WHA - NAU FORUMS

the collective and individual power of our ‘whisper’. Workshops and presentations during the consumer forum and the carer/family/ wha-nau forum will involve sharing from our lived experience. We will review and re�ect on the 23 Big Issues originally developed at the 2000 TheMHS Conference, and identify priority areas relevant to the current reform environment. In line with the title of the day, Being Bold to Be Heard, this year in Adelaide let’s raise our voices to advocate for reform and call for systemic change. The issues we prioritise and the recommended actions for implementation will be provided to TheMHS. Participants will be urged to follow through on these actions when they leave the conference.

CREATIVE SPACE

IKON ART THERAPY

Reform, Re�ect, Review

The Ikon Institute of Australia provides quality education in creative therapies, psychotherapy, counselling and community services. Need time out, need reviving, need some creativity? Each day at the conference quali�ed Ikon art therapists will be available for conference delegates to engage in art activation.

Location: Skyway Room 1

QUILT DISPLAY

Re�ect

With a key theme of the conference being re�ect….take some time–out to ‘re�ect’ on the quilt display. The quilts were made at the last TheMHS held in Adelaide. The quilts give us an opportunity to re�ect on how much the creative space has developed and how important it is in our lives.

Location: Skyway Foyer

HEALING WORDS

Re�ect

Using language and poetry we will explore the big ideas of happiness, connection and belonging, and produce a group work to be performed at the end of the session. David Chapple uses poetry, personal voice and literary techniques to support individuals to write their story and give voice to their experience. With just a little motivation, technical knowledge and passion, participants will write sophisticated and powerful poetry.

Location: Skyway Of�ce

GUIDED MINDFULNESS ACTIVITIES

Reform and Re�ect

Learn some mindfulness activities that are simple, but are also very powerful. They are a fantastic way to shed unwanted mental chatter. While the practice of mindfulness is powerful you don’t have to stop what you are doing and close your eyes to experience the bene�ts. Learn some mindfulness activities and discover that you have the ability to infuse your daily life.

Location: Skyway Of�ce

LABYRINTH FACILITATED WALK

Reform and Re�ect

The labyrinth is a single path for personal, psychological and spiritual mindful re�ection. Walking a labyrinth is among the simplest forms of focused walking meditation, an ideal way to ‘Hear the Whisper’, re�ect, and an opportunity to spend some time in the present moment. The numerous health bene�ts of regular labyrinth walking have led hundreds of hospitals, health care facilities and educational settings to install labyrinths in recent years throughout the world. The portable canvas Chartres size and style labyrinth will be available throughout the 4 days for private walks, other than the facilitated walk time which will be led by trained labyrinth facilitators.

Community Mental Health Systems: Humanity, Rights and Innovative Services in 21st Century

28 FEBRUARY – 1 MARCH 2019 // MERCURE SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

What is a good community mental health system? How do we know when the system is working well?

Systems have become so complex that it can be very dif�cult for people in need to �nd their way to the help they need, when they need it. Community mental health spans a wide range of programs, services, communities, structures and government departments. This has led to an increasingly complex and fragmented system.

In this year’s Forum we will examine international, national and local policies, research and practice to build a picture of what is needed to enable a person with lived experience of mental health issues to attain or retain their full citizenship in society. We are pleased to welcome Peter Hawkins, Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, as the keynote speaker and facilitator for this two day forum. You can expect to be part of a thought-provoking, challenging and respectful learning experience.

Experts from Australia and New Zealand will present mental health research, policy and programs so that we can answer these questions together.

• How does a good community mental health system work?

• How can reducing stigma and discrimination lead to better outcomes?

• How can evidence and research inform implementation and practice?

• What is the emerging evidence and growing points in the community mental health system?

• What role is there for consumer run services and peer support?

• How do clinical services, support and mental health promotion �t together to provide “no gap” services?

Guest Speaker:

LEARNING NETWORK

But, how do we build healthy communities that support people to withstand, adapt and cope with mental health adversity?

TheMHS Conference 2019 brings people from across Australia and New Zealand to stimulate debates that challenge the boundaries of present knowledge and ideas about mental health care and mental health systems.

The conference will explore the important role of resilience in

building healthy communities across all facets of the sector from the consumer experience to Non-Government Organisations, General Practitioners and public mental health services.

We will question how to foster personal resilience to allow people to enjoy a healthy life in the community during recovery. Keynote speakers will share their own stories of resilience and hope with a drive to building healthier communities.

Building Healthy Communities: Stories of Resilience and Hope

27 – 30 AUGUST 2019 // BRISBANE CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTRE

Mental health treatment has undergone a momentous shift towards a recovery model and the promotion of good mental health and wellbeing for everyone.
