[Background] [Aims]
Background
This two year project has been funded by the Department of Health, Section 64. NIACE has been working with practitioners, service users and organisations in the North West, West Midlands and South West to explore the ways in which family learning and mental health can work together to enhance positive learning opportunities and promote mental well-being.
A resource pack was piloted and the final pack has now been produced. This pack is for both mental health and family learning practitioners and organisations to raise awareness of the issues and provide guidelines for good practice.
These events offer the opportunity to:
 | hear about how other people have worked together |
| promote mental well-being |
| explore ways to do this in your locality |
The new pack will be available at the dissemination events. The pack contains 18 sheets including information on:
| mental health and promoting well-being |
| family learning |
| case studies |
| where to go for further information |
| two resources |
_______________________________
Aims
The seminars aim to:
| disseminate findings from the project |
| promote and publicise the pack |
| encourage family learning and mental health managers and practitioners to work together to 'Think Family' |
| identify ways to improve provision to support mental health and well-being |
The day will start with registration and refreshments at 10.30am and close with tea/coffee at 3.00pm.
