Mental Health Research Showcase 2007



�

The Showcase brings together stakeholders from across Canada with a significant interest in advancing mental health and mental health research in a major forum to explore research, leading practice and innovation. The event promotes applied mental health research, bridges the gaps among research, practice and policy, and encourages the use of research findings to continually improve services and outcomes for everyone.

There is clearly a demand for opportunities to share the latest knowledge and evidence‑based practices in the field of mental health. The 2006 Showcase was a sold‑out event with a full poster session. Evaluation results showed that participants were very pleased with the speakers, the program, the networking, and most of all, the collaborative approach to learning and information exchange among the many different participants.

Who Will AttendThe Showcase is designed to benefit a mixed audience. Researchers, designers and implementers of mental health services from across Canada will attend, including:• Service providers• Researchers and academics• Policy makers• Community agency representatives• Consumers• Administrators• Funding agency representatives• Members of the business community• Others with an interest in mental health service

delivery, research and/or policy.

Space is limited to the first 400 registrants. The Showcase sold out in 2005 and 2006 – register early!

The third Mental Health Research Showcase continues to highlight the importance of advancing mental health through research. The Showcase brings mental health experts from around the world to Banff in November. The goal is to shed new light on illnesses that continually impact so many individuals, families and communities – and bring the importance of advancing mental health to the forefront. The premise is simple. Excellence in research is the foundation on which progress is built. This conference is one of a kind, and is rapidly becoming a pre‑eminent Canadian health conference event.

THEMEONE:EFFECTIVENESSOFTHEDELIVERYOFMENTALHEALTHSERVICESINPRIMARYHEALTHCARE

10:00 – 10:30 am MentalHealthServiceReformGavin Andrews, Scientia Professor, School of Psychiatry, University of South Wales, at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney, AustraliaMental health services have too few staff, too little money and too many clients. To overcome these problems, The Tolkein II Project in Australia developed an innovative model for an affordable but comprehensive service. The project planned the delivery of ideal care in a stepped fashion, one that adjusted the level of care to the client’s need. Surprisingly, it was affordable and we also found that a 30% increase in budget could treat 60% more people and produce a 90% increase in health gains.

10:30 – 11:10 am InnovationsinMentalHealthandPrimaryHealthcare:FocusonAlbertaAbstracts from healthcare organizations in Alberta will be presented, highlighting innovations in mental health and primary healthcare. Following each presentation Dr. Gavin Andrews, a prominent international expert in mental health services delivery, will provide feedback and engage the audience in a question and answer session.

THEMEFOUR:WELLNESS,PROMOTION,ANDPREVENTION

8:30 – 9:00 am School‑BasedMentalHealthCapacityBuildingSpeaker, TBDAlberta Health and Wellness provided funds for capacity building projects for Children’s Mental Health. Following the review of the literature for best practices, a number of such projects were developed working with the school boards and schools. Descriptions will be given of the programs along with early results.

9:00 – 9:45 am ADHDSymptomsHaveanEffectonEarly‑OnsetSmokingAnja Huizink, Associate Professor, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsIn a universal, school based randomized controlled intervention trial, we examined whether intervention induced reductions in ADHD symptoms at age 9 mediated the reduced risk of tobacco use onset among these children at age 10 or 11 years. The results showed that programs that target ADHD symptoms may protect children from early onset smoking as well. Additionally, the effect on the intervention on depression and the general feasibility of this program will be discussed.

These childhood experiences now hidden by time, shame and secrecy, exert a powerful and unrecognized effect on our most common public health problems. Time does not heal; time conceals – at great economic and social costs.
