PANEL SESSION 1: Mental Health & Diversity
Mental health means very different things to different people. It is a very individual thing - from gender to neurodivergence to simply different personalities, this affects how we evaluate our wellbeing and what we each need to support us. This can be in terms of self-care or getting external support. This panel is all about discussion the wide variety of mental health issues, but also how we all respond so differently and have different requirements
