Anxiety: Create a Path to Recovery
1 in 7 people experience an anxiety disorder in Australia and yet there is a lack of information and understanding in this area. People are often unaware that there is treatment available and it’s hard to find information on how to access help and what has been proven to be effective.
Reconnexion is holding a National Community Conference – Anxiety: Create a Path to Recovery for people who have anxiety, their family and friends on Saturday 8 October at Darebin Arts & Entertainment Centre to address this problem. A one day event for the community – that is, ‘consumers’ and ‘carers’ – almost all of us given the widespread nature of these common mental health problems.
Each person has their own journey; the conference aims to help people make choices based on individual needs so they can develop their own path to recovery
The Conference will inform people of the treatment and support options available; provide information on evidence based treatment; help people to navigate the maze of conflicting information; and support people, families and friends affected by anxiety disorders.
To achieve this, the Conference will present current counselling treatment, research and programs; e-therapy and web based programs; support programs such as meditation, yoga, art therapy; and the experience of consumers and carers.
Clinicians and people who have experienced anxiety disorders will come together to share their knowledge and skills in workshops and plenary sessions allowing people to choose the session of most benefit to them. Presenters include Simon Palomares, Associate Professor Nickolai Titov, Professor Paula Barrett, Professor Kathy Griffiths, Pauline McKinnon and Dr Wendy Knight.
This conference is supported by funding from the Australian Government Department of Health & Ageing.
