Mental Health Forum Lunchtime Sessions

These mental health forums are an opportunity for mental health social workers to reflect on practice, to share their experiences and access peer support. Each session will have a specific topic with a guest speaker for first half  and with the second half of the session providing the opportunity for open discussion. Many of the topics discussed will be of interest to all social workers and in some instances other professionals such as OT’s and nurses and therefore the sessions welcome members and non-members. We look forward to seeing you at our next session and if you have a particular mental health related topic you don’t see scheduled, and would like to us to consider for a future session, please contact denise.monks@basw.co.uk

You must click on each session individually to book on. The information displayed to the left of the page is for the next upcoming session.
