Activate Mental Health Volunteer Coffee Catch Up (monthly series)

This event is proudly supported by Neami National Perth Suicide Prevention Coordinators.

**Activate Mental Health Monthly Volunteer Coffee Catch Up: **

• Welcome Activate Mental Health Volunteers to February’s Volunteer Coffee Catch Up. Note we can provide you with a free hot / cold beverage from Manning dome, at no cost to yourself. Thank you Neami National!

This is an informal catch up with an agenda to ensure you get what you need from the meet. I will be facilitating this catch up and just gently stirring the conversation and ensuring anything we did not have time to capture is discussed in March’s Volunteer Coffee Catch Up and requiring anything that needs to be actioned to continue your volunteering as group / individual needs.

PLEASE NOTE: The last 15 minutes will be for “feedback” required for this grant from Neami National to provide meaningful connections in our AMH community and sustainable volunteering.

SUPPORT: I will be available for 15 minutes post catch up to ensure I’m available for any volunteers.

Questions / concerns: directly contact me at
