Transport assistance and on-site child minding is being offered for people wishing to attend the event. Tea, coffee and morning tea provided.
North Coast Primary Health Network, in partnership with Mid North Coast and Northern NSW Local Health Districts, is excited to be launching North Coast Collective – a new vision seeking to improve the way we are investing in and delivering mental health care and alcohol and other drug services in our region.
Hosted by renowned ABC health journalist Dr Norman Swan, this event is an opportunity for community members to help shape what the future can look like if we all work together.
Who is this event for?
Carers, people with lived experience and people who have been impacted by mental health and/or substance misuse. It’s a chance for those of us who are most in need to have a say about what’s important to them.
What can people expect on the day?
The day will include a short introduction to North Coast Collective followed by group discussions.
Community participants will be encouraged to:
Come along and let us know about any health service gaps we need to fill and how those working in the health and social services sectors could better serve community members. We’d love to see a wide range of people taking part in the conversation – young people, people living in small communities, Aboriginal people, culturally and linguistically diverse people and those identifying as LGBTIQ.
