This Equal North workshop will bring together policy-makers, practitioners and researchers to explore the relationship between mental health and the welfare system. Speakers include Professor Dame Margaret Whitehead, WH Duncan Chair Professor of Public Health, University of Liverpool and Gregor Henderson, National Lead for Wellbeing and Mental Health, Public Health England.

The workshop will focus on how the welfare system can 1) help promote the employment and social inclusion of people with mental health problems, and 2) promote good mental health. The event also aims to establish how we can build better evidence to support local action for promoting mental health and the employment of people with mental health problems, and to identify future research priorities on mental health and welfare.

Event is free with lunch and refreshments provided.  Use link to register here.
