MAP Warwick, MAP Birmingham and, the recently founded, MAP Nottingham are happy to announce the schedule of the 1st Midlands MAP Festival: Philosophy, Academia and Mental Health. The event aims to create a space to discuss topics related to Mental Health in a broad sense and hosts different types of sessions (some more scientific, others more testimony oriented). The hope is also to facilitate connections and interactions among MAP Chapters. The event is open to all and will be held on Zoom. You can find the complete schedule below – if you are interested in attending any sessions, please, register at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdg09hcRqiKkx052hDQIsBlMDr84BygfArILYqCykehakkbhQ/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0
