Health Webinar | The Mental Health and Wellbeing Plan - Online Discussion

The government has published a discussion paper and call for evidence to seek views on what they can do to improve everyone’s mental health and wellbeing. We would like to encourage you to submit to the call for evidence and this online meeting will give you an opportunity to find out more, as well as discuss ideas about how creativity and creative health can be included in the call for evidence.
