Date: Thursday 27th February 2014, 10.00 - 1600
Venue: Hampden Park, Glasgow
About the event:
What matters and supports us to make connections, to be involved and be supported? If we are carers what helps, what makes a difference to our health and wellbeing?
NHS Health Scotland, in partnership with Age Scotland, the Mental Health Foundation, the ALLIANCE, Carers Scotland and Carers Trust Scotland are hosting an event on the 27th of February at Hampden Park in Glasgow in order to discuss these questions and hear what is happening in practice across Scotland and UK.
This national workshop will be an opportunity for you to engage with the latest policy developments, evidence and practice in promoting mental health and wellbeing for older carers and for reducing isolation in later life. It will also be an opportunity to meet with, and hear from others around their experiences.
This conference will be of interest to carers, to those promoting mental health and wellbeing in later life, and will also be attended by policy makers, practitioners and academics. We would welcome and encourage attendance by carers and older people to help inform the discussion around the subject: caring and connecting as we age.
