View from the Peak
The Mental Health Coordinating Council’s quarterly newsletter ‘View from the Peak’ provides the latest news relevant to the mental health NGO sector. With so much happening in the sector it can be difficult to keep in touch with key issues that can impact you or your organisation, and we aim to assist you with this important task. You will find listed here current and previous issues with a few of the articles in each.
