Event information
Commercial Club Albury, NSW
Join the Rural Mental Health Conference (RMHC) as they explore the now and the future of mental health prevention and treatment in our rural communities. In 2023, the conference theme is:
Justice and equity: Issues and solutions for Rural and Remote Mental Health
The unfortunate truth is that people living in rural areas face many barriers to accessing mental health care services. Rural locations see limited practitioners and professional services spread too thin. Combine this with an increase in demand for services over recent years and rural communities are at a disadvantage when it comes to seeking care.
At the Rural Mental Health Conference, you and your peers will explore the real issues which are impacting our rural communities right now. Then, be a part of planning how we overcome these obstacles and lend your voice to creating a positive path towards greater prevention and treatment of mental health in our rural communities.
