We can’t quite believe it’s a year since Ronan and Cliodhna travelled to Brisbane to manage the 2019 International Association for Youth Mental Health Conference. Here’s a snapshot of some event highlights! #throwbackthursday#IAYMH2019#eventprofs@JohnAustinPhoto
Summing up, 652 delegates, 41 countries, 82 oral presentations, 109 posters, 94 table tops, 43 lightning sessions and trended #1 on Twitter. We must remember that youth are the experts and be united for global change. See you in Copenhagen in 2021. #IAYMH2019#youthmh
And that's a wrap!
Congrats @iaymh on another incredible and inspiring conference. And a round of applause to our partners @orygen_aus and @ReachOut_AUS for all the hard work behind the scenes. Let's do it all again in two years! 🙌
We listen, we laugh, we question, we challenge, we learn ... because there is nothing more important than uniting for global change in #youthmh#IAYMH2019
Our poster sessions are great ways to learn and awesome conversation starters. Drop in at your next morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea break. #IAYMH2019#youthmh
