Venue: Southwark Town Hall or virtually via Zoom
The London launch of the Mentally Healthier Councils Network will be hosted by ThriveLDN. Centre for Mental Health and ThriveLDN have long supported Mental Health Champions across the boroughs. This launch will follow the format of previous quarterly meetings with local champions, where people are invited to openly discuss what they are working on, examples of best practice, and challenges they are facing with a supportive group.
The event is open to anyone working in public health across London and we invite you to join the discussion, either in person or online, to meet and network with people working in public health. The London launch event will form the first of three sessions. In sessions two and three we will be welcoming colleagues from around the country for our national event. All sessions will be hosted as hybrid events, but we encourage those attending session one to attend in person where possible. You do not need to attend all of the sessions, please come to as many as you feel would benefit you.
