General Information
Background
The International Conference on Psychological Well-Being 2024 (ICOPW2024) is held in conjunction with the 2024 Public Service Psychology Conference and National Counselling month, celebrated in October every year. In addition, it is also a step to strengthen the role and responsibility of the counselling and psychology profession in planning, implementing and coordinating community counselling activities so that people become more prosperous. Participants who attend ICOPW2024 will benefit from the implementation of this conference with planned programmes.
Mental illness awareness means acceptance and love; it means an end to the stigma associated with it and the beginning of hope. Awareness starts with educating people to reduce stigma and improve the quality of life for those with mental illness. Mental illness awareness is being comfortable talking about mental health without the fear of being judged for it. It's less stigma and less hatred towards those with mental illness. It means recognizing that mental illness is as real as any physical illness.
ICOPW2024 will be implemented completely face-to-face and interesting programmes for the two (2) days of the conference have been designed for all participants such as keynote speeches, interactive sessions, forums, creative poster competitions and exhibitions.
