This conference is a safe space exclusively for people with lived experience of a mental health issue living in Edinburgh or the Lothians.

  • Have waiting times for mental health support in Edinburgh or the Lothians impacted you? 
  • Is your mental health affected by uncertainty whilst waiting for support?
  • How can we work together to make waiting more survivable? 

This year we’ll be discussing long waiting lists; how they impact people and what could be done by services and in our communities to improve things while people wait. It’s an informal relaxed day of discussion and solidarity, with a nice lunch included!
