What is Mental Health? A person’s mental health affects how they feel, think, behave and relate to others. According to the World Health Organization, however, mental health is “a state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her workplace and community.” This is one of ACS Canberra’s most popular annual events. Confirmed speakers include: <ul><li>Carrie - Ann Leeson, CEO, Lifeline Canberra [<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrie-ann-leeson-gaicd-b5727716/" target="_blank">LinkedIn profile</a>]</li><li>Gavin McCosker, Deputy Chief Executive, Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) [<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavinmccosker/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">LinkedIn profile</a>]</li><li>Galia Cornish, Chief Executive Officer, Synergy Group Australia [<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/galia-cornish-8b735b4/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">LinkedIn profile</a>]</li><li>Alan Tse, Social Entrepreneur, Altina Drinks [<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/-alan-tse-ca/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">LinkedIn profile</a>]</li></ul> During the audience Q & A session, you are invited to get involved and share your experiences and thoughts on the topic: “Mental Health & Wellbeing beyond the workplace”.
