1) Intensive Workshop Sessions – scheduled to be held on Thursday 30 November
Workshop
sessions are scheduled to be 3-hours long and will require an
interactive format to facilitate active learning, such as discussion,
activities, small group role-plays. The workshop focuses on a particular
issue or topic relevant to mental health services and maximizes
audience participation. At least 25% of the total allotted time must be
devoted to questions and answers, or to group interaction – remember
this is NOT a lecture. The applicant arranges the chairperson; the
maximum number of presenters should not exceed 1 chairperson and 2
co-presenters.
2) Oral Presentations – scheduled to be held on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 December
Oral
presentations will be of 15 minutes duration. The abstract should

content to be communicated, including the aims, methods, relevance,
results and conclusions of the work, research, project or case study.
Abstracts should not include tables, figures or references.
3) Poster Presentations – scheduled to be held on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 December
Poster
presentations are visual displays of material to be presented and
constitute an interactive and communicative medium, usually combining
text and graphics information. Posters may be on any topic relevant to
the Conference.
Posters will be displayed in the venue foyer for
the duration of the Conference. It is expected that one of the authors
should be available during break times to discuss the poster with other
