Manna Symposium

Wednesday 4th December - Friday 6th December 2024

Get ready, the Manna Symposium is happening this December!

We are excited to announce the first ever Manna Symposium, which will bring together researchers, students, industry stakeholders and community members to explore the topic Branching out: growing rural mental health research.

Bringing the country to the city, the symposium will be held from 4-6 December in Sydney, the traditional lands of the Gamaragal People of the Eora Nation, and will shine a spotlight on rural mental health research and the innovative work being done with, for and by people living and working in rural, regional and remote Australia.

The symposium will feature a range of networking opportunities, keynote presentations, panel discussions and other activities designed to foster relationships and collaboration among people passionate about regional mental health research.

The symposium is being organised by a diverse group of Manna members, including those with lived and living experiences, First Nations, doctoral students, early-, mid-career and senior researchers, with a focus on creating an inclusive, engaging and innovative event.
