Better Mental Health: Information for public sector professionals
This event will focus on high-potential third sector innovations related to personalisation and mental health. The event builds on the work of A Better Future in Mind, which reviewed mental health services in the North West, and will be opened by Richard Jones, Executive Director of Adult and Community Services, Lancashire County Council. Richard says:
building mental health is a complex challenge and one person or organisation has all the answers. Addressing it requires innovative thinking and action to help us build excellent joined-up services. We need to work together with passion and commitment to help everyone lead fulfilling, independent lives.
