Mental Health
HETI provides mental health education and training for the NSW Health mental health workforce and for the wider health workforce on mental health related matters. It also works with sector partners for improved mental health and wellbeing.
Our work is guided by the lived experience of people with mental illness and their families and carers and adds to HETI’s holistic approach to health education and training.
