There is a critical connection and intersection between Mental Health, Wellbeing and Inclusion.

Through an intersectional lens, we will provide practical strategies to foster inclusive environments that promote mental well-being for all.

  • Cultural sensitivity, inequities in mental health and stigma
  • The importance of belonging in achieving wellbeing
