This interactive workshop will provide participants the opportunity to explore the complexities of having conversations around mental health in the university setting. By examining the barriers to dialogue and help seeking we can work towards greater mental health outcomes for staff and students. We welcome any staff member of any Australian university, regardless of your role.
