As a non-governmental organization in official relations with WHO, IACAPAP received an invitation from the director-general of the WHO to appoint representatives to attend the 130th session of the executive board, which was held from 16 to 23 January 2012. A close scrutiny revealed a heavily packed child and adolescent mental health agenda. Apart from the global burden of mental disorders, there were other items very relevant to CAMH. Items such as infant and young child nutrition; nutrition of women in the preconception period, during pregnancy and the breastfeeding period; early marriages and adolescent pregnancies were on the agenda. Even though there is no direct mention of mental health.
