At our Well Within the Law festival, personal narratives and experiences will be shared in the festival marquee, through written stories and live performances. We want to encourage conversations about the importance of mental health and wellbeing - in our personal and professional lives. We are particularly interested in exploring how workplace culture influences all of us.
