Wellways Public Lecture

Wellways’ highly anticipated annual Woodcock Lecture returns to the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne this year, exploring how the mental health sector currently responds to people experiencing acute mental distress, what alternative methods look like, and how they can provide a more humane and holistic approach to the very human experience of emotional and mental distress.

About the lecture

The annual Woodcock Lecture is Wellways’ main calendar event. The lecture brings together leaders, members of the mental health workforce and the public for an evening of discussion with expert panellists on topics that are currently a focus within the sector.

Find out more about Frank Woodcock, whose generosity created this annual event.

Wellways acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People as the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we live, work and play and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

We are committed to inclusive communities, workplaces, policies and services for people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, bodies and abilities.

We can arrange interpreter services for most languages.
