Department of Health Event
The Department of Health ran an event at Talisman for Mental Health Awareness Month. They invited fellow NGO's to come together for this event. In light of the Esidemni Crisis it is vital that Mental Health Awareness is at the forefront of our activism and campaigns for the rights of people with mental health conditions.
