Collaboration for Mental Wealth in Moray:
Community Research Network Launch and Information Session
Tuesday 25th March, 6:30 - 8:30pm
Laichmoray Hotel Elgin, Maisondieu suite.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Collaboration for Mental Wealth in Moray. A Community Research Network (CRN) for Mental Wealth in Moray, a collaborative initiative hosted by the Moray Wellbeing Hub to be delivered over the next five years. This network brings together a diverse group of partners—including the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI), Moray Art Development Engagement (MADE), tsiMORAY, Science Ceilidh, Arrows, and The Three Kings Cullen Association—to co-create solutions and drive community-led action aimed at enhancing mental wellbeing across the region.

Event Highlights:
- Introduction to the Community Research Network: Learn about our mission to mobilise the rich knowledge within Moray's rural communities to foster and sustain mental wealth for all. Hear our plans for influencing policy and services locally and nationally.
- learn about impact of peer-research: Discover what opportunities you can engage with, as an individual or for your organisation, and how these can support gathering data as well as personal wellbeing.
- Collaborative Opportunities: Explore how your organisation or community group can engage with the network to develop innovative approaches that stimulate community involvement in mental health research.
- Future Initiatives: Get a sneak peek into upcoming projects and find out how you can contribute to shaping the future of mental wellbeing in Moray.

This event marks a significant milestone in our journey to create a resilient and supportive environment where mental health is a shared community priority. We invite all community members, organisations, and stakeholders to join us in this collaborative effort.
