GAMIAN-Europe Annual Educational Convention: 22^nd-23^rd September 2011, Brussels Thon City Centre Hotel

The theme for this year is: Towards mental end neurological health
There is a need to have a discussion on mental health and the brain. These two are often regarded as separate aspects, but this is not the case; physical aspects impact on social aspects, and vice versa. It is important to bring all these aspects together and to focus on the integrative rather than on the separate parts.
The GAMIAN-Europe board decided to dedicate this year’s convention on this topic, bringing all stakeholders together and ensuring a harmonised rather than a polarised discussion.

Choosing Brussels as the venue gives the opportunity to integrate the Autumn session of the MEP interest Group on Mental Health, Well Being and the Brain.(Sept 22nd 2011) in cooperation with European Brain Council

On the evening of the 22nd September the GAMIAN-Europe Good Practice Award and the GAMIAN-Europe Award for will be presented.
