Tena koutou katoa,

Thank you all for registering early.  The list of attendees looks to be an exciting, energetic and strong start to our national conversation about mental health promotion and the potential for a flourishing society.

We're pleased to see this workshop has created interest for Mental Health Promoters to take the opportunity and develop some informal networking space.

If you are interested and are able to stay on through to the 25th November, some regional Mental Health Promoters  and interested others will be meeting for an informal networking session over coffee.

Feel free to join us at Felix Cafe at 9.30 am on the 25th November
