What previous presenters had to say...

"The IIMHC, conceived, organized, and hosted by Sohial Farzam was an amazing, and truly visionary learning experience. Gathering a diverse, and internationally recognized group of physicians and practitioners of Chinese medicine devoted to mental health was a profound achievement, and truly an act of service. I would encourage any practitioner or student of Chinese medicine to attend; it could change your life and the lives of your patients and community. "

"I tremendously enjoyed participating in The International Integrative Mental Health Conference. Sohial was a most congenial host and brought together a stellar team of like-minded colleagues and practitioners with different backgrounds and expertise from all over the world. Many topics that are relevant in the modern practice of Chinese medicine (but rarely discussed elsewhere) were explored in multifaceted presentations and roundtable discussions. I highly recommend participation when the Conference comes round again next year!"

"Just a few words to thank Sohial for the complex project he has imagined and developed and for the opportunity he has given to colleagues and students (and the related benefit to the patients). It was a very interesting opening for myself: I have appreciated the chance to listen to other voices, and to be able to reach many different participants. I would recommend any similar Conference to practitioners who are interested in learning and broadening their view."

"It was an honour to be part of the first IIMHC. Sohial was efficient, straightforward and supportive, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. It was a privilege to be speaking alongside so many esteemed colleagues. I highly recommend it as an experience."

"As a participant and speaker of IIMHC I was very impressed by not just the event and the speakers involved, but by Sohial’s impeccable organizational skills. It is not easy to gather speakers from various different time zones, yet thr conference went smoothly and I had a blast presenting and listening to the other prominent speakers."

"I was honored to present at The International Integrative Mental Health Conference this year. The conference gathered an amazing array of world-renowned practitioners, innovators and visionaries, who each brought their own unique perspective to this important conversation. I came away hopeful and inspired, with new ideas and practical tools to apply to my own work in the field."
