THEME
Translating Research into Mental Health Interventions with Indigenous Communities
This second scientific meeting hopes to empower local psychologists in SEA regions to (i) conduct indigenous and culturally relevant research, and (ii) translate their research outcomes into community engagement and mental health interventions, especially with marginalised indigenous groups. Amplifying both the SEA researchers and the indigenous community's voices will enable psychologists to achieve a more equitable global psychology.
OBJECTIVES
​
-
Expand the knowledge and practice of indigenous psychology in SEA through an educational and scientific network
-
Continue the multidisciplinary IP research clusters and collaborations in SEA
-
Translate culturally relevant research outcomes into actions and interventions
-
Explore the indigenous well-being and mental health systems espoused by indigenous populations and minorities in SEA
