6TH NOVEMBER, PERTH DEWARS CONFERENCE CENTRE In the last few years a range of statutory duties have been laid on Local Authorities to promote the mental health and wellbeing of all their residents. In 2007 With Inclusion in Mind was published by the Scottish Government, as an aspirational guidance to local authorities to tackle this challenging agenda. This conference is an opportunity to meet delegates from other services and other local authorities to learn how to drive this agenda forward. There will also be an opportunity to understand how it links with the high level single outcome agreements and how it can help all authorities address improvements. See the Event Flyer for more information or visit the NHS SHSCEvents website to book a place. |
