Join ILC for a policy discussion focusing on the findings from the Mental Health Matters report. As part of this project, ILC has generated a debate among key policy and health stakeholders on how we can forge stronger policies to address and reduce the impact of serious mental health conditions across the life course.

The Mental Health Matters report includes findings from discussions with experts and policy recommendations for policymakers and health stakeholders. We will be joined by expert speakers to discuss these findings and recommendations during a one-hour webinar.

Speakers include:

• David Sinclair, Chief Executive, ILC (Chair)
• Marion Devaux, Health Policy Analyst, Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, Health Division, OECD
• MEP András Kulja, Vice-Chair of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, European Parliament
• Professor Lord Richard Layard, Co-Director, Community Wellbeing Programme, Centre for Economic Performance, London School of Economics
• Professor Tsuyoshi Akiyama, President, World Federation for Mental Health
• The Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick, House of Lords, UK Parliament
