Mental Health & Quality of Life Conference
Quality of life… an investment in people, families and organisations
About the conference
Two days bringing together psychologists, therapists, family counsellors and organisational wellbeing leaders in a scientific and professional dialogue that links research to practice: from workplace mental health to family cohesion, the mental health of children and young people, and teletherapy.
Participants leave with evidence-based interventions, counselling tools practised in two hands-on workshops, and a professional network of specialists from many countries.
The Gulf's 2030 visions have made quality of life a national goal, and with growing awareness of mental health, demand for specialists and for family and organisational programmes is greater than ever. The conference presents the latest scientific evidence and practical tools for specialists, organisations and families in a Gulf context.
