About this event

The Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy Group invites you to attend the above event, an opportunity for those working or volunteering to improve mental health and wellbeing across Perth and Kinross to connect and learn from each other.

This event will explore how national policy and public health priorities guide local practice, help us understand different perspectives, delve into the connections between mental health and wellbeing, suicide prevention and substance use, and consider how we can challenge stigma and discrimination.

Throughout the day there will be enlightening talks, opportunities to connect with others and workshops that will share our experiences and identify mental health and wellbeing priorities for the new strategy.
