About the forum

Join us as we explore the innovative thinking and action that strengthens the cultural responsiveness of our sector. We will shed light on the variety, richness, and challenges of that valuable work. We will focus on the experiences of dignity and indignity in mental health interventions through the lens of communities, clients and service providers.  

This full day, in-person event will feature presentations and panels from a range of leading experts from the sector, including keynote speakers Indigo Daya and Kathomi Gatwiri. The event will be captured by graphic recorder Debbie Wood.

Pawa Catering will provide lunch, afternoon tea and other refreshments. A range of halal and vegetarian options will be available. If you have dietary requirements outside of this, please note them when booking your ticket.

Mental health practitioners, educators, researchers and leaders, and health and community workers with an interest in mental health are invited to register.
