mhhe received some funding from the Department of Health for the development of regional mental health educators' networks in England (2004-07). We evaluated our regional work when DoH funding came to an end. Since educators across regions share similar areas of interest and concerns, we have moved moved to holding thematic workshops across regions, through the mhhe workshop call. These are supplemented by regional educators' lists. Please use these pages to
- submit any regional conference/event reports
- make contact with other educators in your region
- add your own name to the list
- organise a regional networking event. Do contact us if you would like to discuss this.
Please help us ensure that this regional page reflects activity, interests and expertise in the South West region!
