SUMMARY:International Conference Culture & Mental Health: Refugees
DESCRIPTION:The second Culture & Mental Health international conference will take place in Ghent\, Belgium on 28 and 29 November 2024. This conference seeks to promote learning\, discussion and debate around cultural interventions aimed at improving the wellbeing of people recovering from mental health difficulties or people in vulnerable situations. The focus of this edition is on supporting the mental wellbeing of forcibly displaced people through art and culture. \nIn a report in 2022 the EU and WHO call for support for the mental wellbeing of forcibly displaced people through art and culture : “People displaced because of natural disasters\, persecution\, conflict\, generalised violence or human rights violations invariably experience significant loss\, physical hardships and other stressors that can lead to psychological distress. A large body of evidence shows how forcibly displaced people contribute positively to society. This potential can be further enhanced by ensuring that they are in good physical and mental health. Therefore\, according to the report\, it is important to support the arts\, as investing in the field is an investment in the mental\, physical and social health of forcibly displaced people.” \nThis conference wants to bring together individuals from the public\, academic\, third sector and voluntary sectors\, to share experiences\, practices and knowledge about the importance and impact of the arts\, reading\, heritage and creativity on improving mental health\, wellbeing and resilience of refugees. \nCounterpoints is part of the programme committee for the conference. \nFull details\, including call for contributions: https://www.museumdrguislain.be/en/onview-en/culture-mental-health-refugees
