Mental Health Forum

Thursday 05 December, 2.00-4.00, Caledonia House Glenrothes

Mental health is an increasing focus for service providers, policy-makers, funders, the media, and citizens. Adverse mental health affects most people during their lifetime and it can have a major impact on people, families and communities.

Membership of the Forum is open to all staff and trustees with constituted third sector organisations operating in the Fife area in the field of health and social care (i.e. it's not just for organisations that focus entirely on mental health).
