Our Goal
Simply put, our goal is to
- encourage the industry to engage and embrace the mental health agenda
- make best practice and information readily and wherever possible freely available
- ensure that the industry takes a huge leap forward to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health by getting the conversation started while educating as many as possible where and when to seek help.
