20% of the population or 1 in 5 New Zealanders within the past year have had some experience of a mental disorder. (1)

People with a mental disorder are more likely to be physically unwell and the reverse is also true. People with mental disorders have a higher prevalence of several chronic physical conditions. (1)

There is significant unmet need for people with mental disorders. Over a 12 month period only 39% of people with a mental disorder had visited health services.(1)

Maori and Pacific people have an excess burden of lifetime mental disorder compared to other groups even when the younger age of these groups is taken into account (mental disorders have early onset and younger people are at greater risk).(1)

Lectures at the upcoming training on Brain Health will involve exploring nutritional and environmental medicine, gastro intestinal treatment, and dietary intervention in the treatment of brain health.

Our two day training program in Queenstown will bring together international and local experts in the field of ASD, Autism, Alzheimer’s and Neurobiology and Developmental aspects of Depression. Neurofeedback, Brain Retraining and HBOT and Heavy Metal Effects on Brain Health will also be explored.

The Autism Spectrum Disorders are a group of disorders with common deficits in three key areas - communication, social interaction and imaginative thought and play. The latest Statistics show that ASD occurs in 1 in every 110 children.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the name given to describe the wide range of behaviours amongst the Autistic population. The word 'spectrum' reflects the fact that no two people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder behave the same.

Interactive Case History Presentations will support and teach participants how to use: History Taking, Useful Investigations and Individual Treatment Programs in the Management of Brain Health Problems from Autism to Alzheimer’s.
