Elevate Your Impact as a Mental Health Champion

It is time to elevate your impact! With under two weeks to go until ‘The Exchange’ network meeting, we’re thrilled to share more details about this exciting event. As we count down to this significant gathering, we invite you to join us and discover why this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

The Core Purpose of The Exchange Network

In the spirit of Simon Sinek’s philosophy, we believe that understanding the “why” behind The Exchange Network is crucial. Why should you, as a Mental Health First Aider, Champion, or Wellbeing Advocate, take time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting?

Why The Exchange Network?

Mental health in the workplace is more important than ever. The Exchange Network was born from the need to create a supportive and collaborative environment where Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs) and Champions can come together to exchange knowledge, strategies, and experiences. This meeting isn’t just another event; it’s a movement towards a more informed, connected, and proactive approach to mental health.

Elevate your impact – the benefits

Here are the benefits of joining ‘The Exchange’ network
