is when many people will want to consider how best to prevent mental ill health and be assured that best provision is being planned to include and support everyone affected. This conference is a collaborative venture between Start (the Manchester-based arts centre specialising in the education and training of people with mental health needs), MAES (Manchester Adult Education Service), NIACE (National Institute of Adult Continuing Education – the national advocacy body for adult learners and adult learning) and North West Arts Board. Delegates will take away valuable information about mental health and education issues, as well as practical ideas. You will hear about models of good practice in teaching and learning, in partnership working and in staff training and learner support.
