Subject: Australian & New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses-Conference Call

SECOND CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT.

An International Conference on Mental Health Nursing

Culture and Caring : Caring in Culture

Auckland New Zealand Aotea Centre, October 10-13 th 1996

The Theme that has been chosen is " Culture in Caring : Caring in Culture "

This theme has had a great deal of support from our members who feel that in
Aotearoa/New Zealand we are in a unique situation to invite presentations
and discussions of the surrounding issues.

As mental health nurses we feel a responsibility to not only acknowledge and
respect health practises of tangata whenua [ the people of the land,
indiginous people ] but also understand the culture og introduced concepts
of mental health care. Nursing in Aotearoa/New Zealand has been at the
forefront of promoting culture within nursing. By this we mean not only
understanding and respecting another culture but also recognising the
effects of colonisation and power imbalances on peoples health.
