****Event Update****

We are excited to announce Dr Sebastian Rosenberg, Fellow at the Centre for Mental Health Research at Australian National University and Senior Lecturer at the Brain and Mind Centre at Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney will be joining our session on Wednesday to give us a national context of mental health support investment.

Don't miss this session.

This session will take a deep dive into the facts and figures that are driving the Prevent Support Heal campaign and the big 'asks' we need to highlight to the Government through to the election.

Some of the biggest factors we will highlight will include where the State Government funding goes and what the 10 year Plan Better Choices, Better Lives actually tells us is the optimal mix for mental health spending in WA.

Join Western Australia Association for Mental Health Advocacy and Sector Development Manager Chelsea McKinney as we take a detailed look at the State Budget papers and the 10 Year MH & AOD Plan.

The session will also provide an overview of key stakeholders within the sector and how WAAMH collaborates with them on particular issues.

Examples include advocating for secure housing for consumers, especially for those people who are homeless and up-skilling the workforce to support people with co-occuring mental health and AOD issues.
