Alongside Mental Health & Wellbeing Conference 2026
Thursday 14th - Friday 15th May 2026
The Ark, 9 Killafaddy Road, St Leonards
The Alongside Mental Health & Wellbeing Conference explores transformative approaches to providing support and care to anyone experiencing mental ill health, and raises awareness of the assistance available in the community. This conference will not only benefit mental health professionals, but also friends, family members, colleagues, support workers, teachers and teacher assistants, pastors and church-goers, carers, and anyone acquainted with someone experiencing a mental health challenge.
You will gain confidence in how to engage with those experiencing mental ill health, or a mental health crisis, and be equipped with skills and strategies to walk the journey with them.
This two-day conference brings together evidence-based content from thought leaders in mental health including guest speakers (to be announced at a later date)

“The conference was fantastic. It was wonderful that we heard from so many different people about different topics. I particularly enjoyed the Mental Health First Aid talk, and I am currently arranging to have a Mental Health First Aid course run onsite for myself and my work colleagues.”

“I loved how we were not just given tools on what we should do but also what we need to stop doing. The kickstarting motivation tips and ideas on how to start and keep motivation going were great.”
