2001 Conference - Focussing on the Future
Looking to the future for mental health means focusing on opportunities for change and innovation in mental health services and partnerships with NGOs and the community.This conference will turn our focus to these opportunities and identify ways of achieving change and encouraging partnerships to ensure an ongoing framework for NGO development in NSW.
About the Conference
The Mental Health Coordinating Council (MHCC), South West Sydney Area Health Service and NSW Health (Centre for Mental Health) are together facilitating a conference designed to review opportunities for both mental health and mainstream non-government organisations (NGOs), and to promote stronger relationships between NGOs and government agencies and services.
