ABOUT WORKSHOP 2:

This session is a follow on from Workshop 1 of the series - Mental Health Well-being Awareness: Enhancing General Understanding.

This workshop builds on the knowledge gained in Workshop 1 and introduces expert practitioners who will share best practice and innovations in mental health well-being Policy & Procedure, Communication Strategies and Student Support.

In this 3.5 hour workshop you will join break-out groups where you will review your own understanding of mental health well-being and consider what best practice might look like within your own work setting. You will undertake self-assessment and develop an action plan.
