May 29 - 31, 2000 Around the world, indigenous peoples have experienced rapid culture change, marginalization
and absorption into a global economy with little regard for their autonomy. Cultural discontinuity has been linked
to high rates of depression, alcoholism, suicide, and violence in many communities, with the most dramatic impact
on youth. Despite these challenges, many communities have done well. This meeting will bring together experts from
Canada and other countries to discuss the value of the perspectives of social and cultural psychiatry for understanding
the factors that promote mental health or lead to psychological distress in indigenous populations and communities.
