Mental Health Week a success
Mental Health Week which was held in October was a huge success with members of the newly formed North West Queensland Mental Health Network working together to present a series of events.

The relationships built during the organising of Mental Health Week will last long and lead to better co-ordination of services for our patients and consumers.
