Aim
The aim of this event is for Further Education Colleges and Sixth Forms in the East of England to explore answers to the following questions:
 | Why does mental health in teaching and learning matter? |
| How can we make sure we are up-to-date in this area? |
| How can we ensure that up-to-date recovery focused teaching about mental health is seamed throughout our curricula? |
| How can we ensure that our teaching challenges the stigma, discrimination and stereotyping of people who have mental health problems? |
| How could involving people who have or have had experience of mental health problems in our teaching help? |
