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, the conference will be discussing long waiting lists; how they impact people and what could be done by services and in communities to improve things while people wait. It’s an informal, relaxed day of discussion and solidarity, with a nice lunch included!
Date: Thursday 1 October 2026 | Time: 10am to 4.30pm
Location: Norton Park, 57 Albion Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5QY
