CMHL had a strong presence at the 47th International Mental Health Nursing Conference in Melbourne.It was a great opportunity to connect with mental health nurses from Australia and New Zealand. Matt Ball's keynote on day two was a standout, the power of Just Listening. We enjoyed learning from the panel discussions, including Yarning About Cultural Safety chaired by the incredible Professor Rhonda Wilson.
