Mental Health: Human Rights and Legislation – What’s possible in Ireland?
On May 18 a number of health and legal experts in the field of Mental Health, including the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, Anand Grover, will address over 150 delegates on the specific challenges facing Ireland.
The conference aims to explore how legislation can be used to ensure accessibility, availability, dignity and quality in Ireland’s mental health services. It will focus on the importance of upholding international human rights standards and looked at how the ambitions of A Vision for Change, the Government’s mental health policy, could be realised.
The conference includes national and international perspectives from human rights experts, service users, service providers and the Minister of State for Disability, Mental Health and Equality, John Moloney.
