Join us at our upcoming Digital Mental Health event hosted by the University of Limerick in collaboration with the HSE. With international keynote speaker Chris Wright, National Advisor and National Programme Lead for Digital Mental Health at The Scottish Government.

The focus of this event will be an introduction to the National Digital Mental Health Strategy. As part of this, we invite you to contribute to focused strategy discussion sessions to further refine and prioritise actions.

To support these discussions, national and international contributors will share their knowledge and experience to support alignment and integration of the strategy within the broader policy landscape and guide implementation.

We would be most grateful if you would consider joining us and sharing your expertise on the day.
