for their populations and the development of recovery-oriented mental health services. Consideration was given to the challenges facing each country in uncertain economic times; coping with emerging needs, the needs of young people, creating recovery- oriented approaches to service delivery and transforming capacity into capability in mental health care.
LEADERS IN RESEARCH GROUP The Combined Brisbane/Cincinnati Research Group are leaders in research in the mental health field who examined current international research and evidence-based findings which can support recovery. Ireland presented ‘Reconnecting with life: personal experiences of recovering from mental health problems in Ireland’, research recently published by the HRB which focuses on 31 individuals with experience of mental health needs who have recovered. This groundbreaking research has modelled the recovery process focusing on the reconnecting with self, others and time.
CLINICAL LEADERS GROUP The focus of this group is the role of clinical leadership in organisational change and effective change management. Leading clinical leaders gathered to discuss how clinicians can lead organisations through the changes envisaged in ‘A Vision for Change’.
INTERRELATE Interrelate is a dynamic network of service user movements which articulate the viewpoint of the person with experience of mental ill health. They are a powerful resource in the reengineering of service planning and delivery, identifying what has benefited people in their recovery and what has impeded that recovery. Irish participation in this group is through the Irish Advocacy Network.
COMPLEMENTARY EVENTS – YOUTH SUMMIT – MAY 19TH Running in parallel with the IIMHL Exchange and Network Meeting, an International Youth Summit was held to consider young people’s mental health.
+ A group of both Galway Mental Health staff and international mental health leaders visited St. Brigid’s Hospital, Ballinasloe in May.
This was an event led by a number of organisations, including Headstrong, St Patrick’s Hospital, HSE, Orygen and St John of God Services. Dail Na nOg opened
the proceedings. The event culminated in the publication of an International Youth Declaration on Young People’s Mental Health.
+ Members of the Clinical Leaders Exchange Group who met in Dublin Castle were Maurice Gervin, Owen Mulligan, Susan O'Connor, Ian Daly and Pat Bracken. Ian Daly, Executive Clinical Director at Tallaght Hospital in Dublin, chaired this group. Dr Daly said the group discussed service configuration, service quality, models of care, evidence based medicine and recovery. He said many of the issues were the same in different countries but often the approaches were somewhat different. The group had been a very useful learning experience and participants had seen presentations from Irish programmes.
