Open to all

Our 2025 Mental Health Network Annual Conference and Exhibition will bring together senior leaders from the mental health, learning disability and autism sector for lively discussions on the future of services, to share good practice, horizon scan, and network with your peers. 

The 10-Year Health Plan and long-awaited Mental Health Act reforms herald a decade long opportunity to drive improvements in mental health and learning disability services. The conference will focus on some of the key themes that are most important to members and that can help enable the government’s three shifts to prevention, community and digital. 

These include children and young people, community services and learning disabilities and autism, with digital and inequalities a thread running throughout the conference. Details of key speakers and the agenda itself will become available over the coming weeks and months.
