The Asia-Pacific Community Mental Health Development Project is a landmark project bringing together 14 countries/regions in the Asia-Pacific to build cross-cultural mental health networks and resources in community mental health care.
Countries currently participating are: Australia, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
At the most recent Asia-Pacific Community Mental Health Development Project Meeting and Symposium at WPA Melbourne 2007, 11 of the 14 participating countries presented about their community mental health resources and provided exemplars of best practice. These presentations are now available for viewing.
Reflecting the significance of this project, the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing will be supporting publication of a summary of the project. This Brief Publication will be launched internationally at WPA Prague 2008.
