Systems change leader Julie Repper to speak at Edinburgh event: 4 November

Join us for this in-person Peer Connects event as together we explore how to transform Scotland’s mental health system.

How do we create big change within Scotland’s mental health system? How do we embrace a future that values lived experience and peer roles?

Julie Repper, Director at Imroc, has been driving recovery-focused change, including developing a peer workforce, in mental health for 20 years. Julie is at the forefront of systems change. She has a wealth of experience and insight into what enables change to happen and key knowledge on what helps to overcome and get around barriers to change.

Join us for a fantastic opportunity to learn from her journey and explore together how we ensure well meaning policies are translated into action that will transform Scotland’s mental health system.

Who is the event for?

This Peer Connects event takes place in Edinburgh on Tuesday 4 November from 10:30 until 14:30. It is for anyone involved in the mental health system in Scotland, including People with Lived Experience, Peer Workers, Service Providers, and System Leaders interested in driving change.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Due to our funding commitments, this event is for people living / working in Scotland, but learning will be shared in our newsletter and through the Peer Recovery Hub.
