"Recovery" from mental health difficulties is shaped differently in different places. Contextualized understandings of how notions of ‘recovery’ are used in different practice contexts can contribute to developing better understandings of how to promote social inclusion in mental health care. Join us as we hear about recovery in three diverse Asian settings.

This is the first in a series of global mental health webinars on "mental health" and "recovery" co-hosted by the University of Edinburgh Global Mental Health network & Burans (a partnership initiative that promotes mental health and wellbeing by building on community strengths and resources in Uttarakhand, North India https://burans.org).

Time: 10-11am (British Summer Time), 2.30-3.30pm (India Standard Time), 2.45-3.45pm (Nepal Time) and 4pm (Cambodia)
