Join the team at Dulwich Picture Gallery along with guest practitioners, and cultural institutions for a day of talks, practical case studies, and workshops providing an introduction to targeted work engaging people with mental health conditions and space for organisations to reflect on applying it to their context.

The day will aim to explore the following key themes:

– What are the benefits and challenges of targeted work engaging people with mental health conditions?

– How can we collaborate and work in partnership with the NHS, clinical settings and voluntary bodies such as Mind?

– How we can support staff who are delivering targeted work?

– How can targeted work with people with mental health conditions impact organisations as a whole?

– How can we share best practice and increase the visibility of work taking place specifically in the museum and gallery sector?

The event programme can be found – here.

Please choose between the ‘social prescribing‘ and ‘youth and mental health’ afternoon breakout sessions while booking a ticket. We will confirm your allocation in advance of the symposium.
