Join Housing LIN Cymru for a timely session exploring the vital relationship between housing and mental health, held in support of Mental Health Awareness Week.
Overview
This webinar will examine how well-designed homes, supported housing models, and community-based approaches can foster better mental health outcomes across Wales.
Chaired by Joanne Kirrane, Housing LIN Cymru Steering Group Chair, the session will bring together practitioners, policymakers and sector leaders to share insights on prevention, early intervention and the role of secure, suitable housing in promoting resilience and wellbeing.
Building on these themes, and reflecting the findings of CaCHE’s report Housing in Wales: Evidence for Welsh Government 2021–26, the webinar will also consider the support landlords (particularly in the private rented sector) need to better understand mental health issues and help tenants access the right support.
