On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are pleased to announce that the "Recovery-oriented Services and Policy Planning in Mental Health" conference will be held from 10 to 12 January 2018 at The University of Hong Kong.

This conference comes at an important time in the region to bring together academics, mental health professionals, and policymakers to explore evidence-based practices and policies relevant to promoting the recovery approach in mental health. We will have a programme of great variety, with keynote addresses by Professor Larry Davidson and Professor Mike Slade, invited talks, panel discussions, movie session, speed-dating posters event, and two pre-conference workshops. These activities will provide participants with exciting opportunities to learn and share as well as to enrich their professional network with like-minded colleagues.

We are excited to invite you to join us and to make this event a grand success. We look forward to welcoming you in person at the conference.
