The climate and ecological emergency is a health emergency. There are particular implications for people's mental health with vulnerable groups being disproportionately affected, including people with pre-existing mental illness and children.
Addressing climate change has been described as the greatest health opportunity this century. Sustainable mental healthcare will provide better outcomes for service users through prevention, empowerment, improving value and cutting carbon.
Come along to this global networking event and meet other people who would like to work towards sustainable mental health services. All are welcome.
