Australian Rotary Health WA: Statewide Rural Mental Health Initiative 

- Virtual Forum Interest Meeting

Friday 16 October 2020, 10.30am to 12.00 noon,

 online via Zoom, during Mental Health Week.

 

Mental health, particularly of young people,

 is often raised as an issue in country areas around Western Australia.

 As 'People of Action' can Rotary with others in towns

 and shires across WA address this challenge?

Can our metropolitan Club members' expertise,efforts

 and networks help bring this initiative to fruition? 

Can you help out with initiating practical vocational responses

 and community mental health forums and projects across country WA?

Join Rotary colleagues from rural communities across Western Australia

 to explore how Rotary and other service groups,

 local government, education and health services, 

community groups and others might address this challenge in 2021 and beyond.

How can Australian Rotary Health and Rotary in Western Australia 

open opportunities and make a difference in the lives

 and mental well being of many across our great state?

To participate in this online discussion, please register your interest today.

Registrants will be advised of the Zoom link prior to the event.
