"I sincerely believe iMHLP is a history-making enterprise, building an intellectual network of dedicated mental researchers, professionals, and policy-makers across Pacific-rim countries that will help them implement well-designed policies and services in areas where mental health policy and services have long been neglected and under-funded."
Dr Chih-Yuan Lin, Taiwan
"The course fuelled my passion to ensure fair and equitable services in and across countries; the population health approach emphasises mental health is everybody's business."
