If you’ve experienced mental health difficulties, come to The People's Conference 2025 on 24 September for a day of connection and powerful conversations.

This year’s theme is 'Human Rights: In Our Hands' — ensuring you understand and know your rights when it comes to mental health.

💛The People’s Conference is one of the highlights of the year for mental health lived experience! Here’s the Lothian Voices group, who create the conference, with their poster hot off the press!

If you’ve got experience of mental health issues, come along to meet like-minded folk, have a nice lunch and talk about how things can be better for people with mental health issues. This year the group have chosen to focus on human rights, an especially important topic as we see human rights under threat, particularly for marginalised people.
The conference is on 24 September at Norton Park in Edinburgh, it’s free to attend. Find out how to register here: https://capsadvocacy.org/events/the-peoples-conference-2025/
