The Wales Mental Health and Wellbeing Forum are holding in Cardiff on 15th November with the theme Improving healthcare with Lived experience.
I would appreciate it if you could share it with members of the Partnership Board but also with other staff within the health board and wider networks.

The conference aims to bring together people with lived experience of mental health issues, professionals, carers, friends and family for a day of conversation, collaboration and co-production.
We have a great programme for the day including a guest speaker, Andrew Jenkins who was on the TV show The Traitors who is speaking about his mental health journey.

Further details of the event and booking details can be found via the Ticket Tailor link below.

The Explore programme is designed to help build young people's confidence; helping them to improve their teamwork, and to build on their problem solving and communication skills and help them feel more prepared for going back into education, or to gain steps towards employment, training, or volunteering opportunities. 

The programme will include a mixture of indoor and outdoor led activities. 

It is a FREE 4-week programme being delivered from our centre in Cardiff over three days a week. 

We will be holding a Taster Day on 13/11/2024 at our Cardiff centre.

 This is a great way for young people to meet the staff and to find out a little more about the programme.
