Four years after the Second Czech International Conference on Recovery and eight years after the very first conference, we cordially invite you to its third edition. The conference will take place from Tuesday afternoon, November 12th, to Wednesday evening, November 13th, 2024, at the Parkhotel Congress Center Plzeň. Pre-conference workshops will take place on the morning of 12th November.
The conference was held under the auspices of Rudolf Špoták, Governor of the Pilsen Region and member of the National Council for Mental Health, Prof. Jan Vevera, Head of the Psychiatric Clinic of the University Hospital Pilsen and Ing. Jiří Šrámek, Pilsen council member for social affairs.
Recovery as " way of living a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life even with limitations caused by illness. " (Anthony, 1993) is increasingly talked about in the mental health care systems all over Europe. However, what exactly needs to be done that as many people as possible also experience recovery often remains unclear.
As in 2020, the conference theme is the relationship between recovery and language, the relationship between recovery and the institution, and this year we are also adding the theme of recovery and spirituality. The conference is international, with a number of professionals from abroad attending. After eight years, Mark Ragins (LA, USA) will participate again.
Papers will be in Czech or English, interpretation will be available. The programme of lectures, workshops and accompanying activities will be continuously updated in the Programme section of the conference. News about the conference can also be found on Facebook.
Registration is required to attend the conference.
We are looking forward to see you in Pilsen!
The general partner of the conference is the Center for Mental Rehabilitation, which is part of the Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital, which belongs to the AKESO healthcare holding.
