About the event

The last two years have been challenging for us all. In Australia, the Black Summer bushfires of 2019-20 were followed closely by the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The effects of these on people's mental health and wellbeing are severe and ongoing.

During this free webinar, experts, leaders and lived experience representatives from health, mental health and emergency services settings will explore what we can learn from adversity to build a mental health system of the future that is ready to respond.

Date: 30 November 2021
Time: 12pm-1.45pm
Cost: Free
Location: Zoom. Link will be shared with registered ticket holders prior to the event.
