Here are just a few of the things our amazing Midlands Young Advisors can do:
The Let’s Get Mental! Conference
In 2019, our Young Advisors designed and delivered their own mental health conference entitled Let’s Get Mental! It was such as success that it became an annual event, with the launch of Let’s Get Mental, Again! in 2020, Let’s Get Mental – The Next Chapter in 2021 and Let’s Get Mental: Mind the Gap! in 2022.
The conference returns in 2023 as Let’s Get Mental… Together!, featuring a mixture of live entertainment, keynote speakers, workshops, stall holders and networking spaces across a number of rooms within the Kedleston Road building of the University of Derby.
Do keep an eye on the Young Advisors’ web page and Twitter feed for updates.
