The Exchange Network – 25.07

With under 3 weeks to go until ‘The Exchange’ network, we are pleased to be able to share with you more details and the agenda for the meeting.

The Exchange will be co-hosted by Amanda Anderson (People First, Founder) and Mike Lawrence (Mental health consultant and MHFA trainer). They are excited to be joined by as many Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA), Mental Health Champions and Wellbeing Champions as possible, to come together in a supportive and collaborative environment. The meeting offers individuals a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, strategies, and experiences, as well as to share successful practices.
