Workshops, hosted by the Clinical Innovation Lead of the ’Improving Student Mental Health’ project, with guest lecture segments from experts within Mersey Care Trust, typically place on the second Wednesday of every month.
Delivered via Zoom Webinar, all workshops will include interactive polls and Q&A sessions.
