Welcome address to the 3rd World Congress of Cultural psychiatry, London 2012.
Welcome from congress patron
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
London’s bid for the 2012 Games succeeded largely because of our desire to reach young people all around the world and to connect them with the inspirational power of the Games so they are motivated to choose sport. So I am particularly pleased that the emphasis for the World Congress in Cultural Psychiatry, to be held in the Olympic year, will be the resilience, wellbeing and diversity of young people. Sport allows people from all backgrounds to come together to join in positive activity and can help our young people to stay both physically and mentally healthy. I am committed to ensuring that the Games provide a genuine legacy for health and wellbeing and I look forward to welcoming young people from around the world to this great city in 2012.
