Mental Health Seminar Series
With Emily Muir
As an Occupational Therapist (OT), Emily has has been supporting Southland's tamariki, rangatahi and whanau for 10 years now. Working in mental health, Emily is aware of the gaps in accessing support for our young people and the repercussions of not having adequate professional support available. So Emily has designed a series of seminars to help make support more accessible for parents and our young people, and we're delighted to be hosting these seminars at Health Down South.
When: 1st Wednesday of the month @ 7.30pm, starting in September
Cost: $20 per person
