The INLiGHTen Conference (virtual) - Holistic Approaches to Mental Health
Event Information
About this Event
It’s not an easy question to answer.
For so many in our community… the sheer number of consistent, confronting and rapid changes has been incredibly challenging. Sometimes overwhelming.
All around the world, we are seeing huge increases in job losses, economic hardship, social isolation, health fears and difficulties, lifestyle restrictions, ethical conflicts… the list goes on.
There is huge uncertainty about the future… and no clarity on when these disruptions might end.
All of this places extreme pressure on our mental and emotional health.
Many normal habits of coping or releasing tension have been shut down or taken away. We are already seeing the impact of this – with increasing rates of suicide, domestic violence, drug addiction, relationship conflict and many key indicators of social wellbeing falling.
The loss of meaning and identity, the need to adapt our way of living, and to process huge amounts of fear, anger, loss and doubt – are creating huge undercurrents of distress in many layers of our society.
It’s time for more genuine connection and healing.
It’s time for more proactive and all-encompassing solutions.
It’s time for us to come together and remember what is truly possible when people work together to overcome these challenges.
This virtual conference is innovative and groundbreaking in its vision and it’s approach… we would love to invite you to be part of it!

I am afraid for a friend who talks about suicide - is this for them?
This conference will share a lot of hope and possibility in stories of people who were also in really dark places. It's possible your friend could find some hope and solidarity from hearing the experiences of others.
There will be workshops to support with different aspects of life – including how you can support someone you care about who is going through rough times.
If you are concerned about the safety or security of your friend, this conference will not be providing emergency support. For all extreme or urgent situations of distress – please call Lifeline (Australia) on 131114 or Emergency Services 000.
