Dear Readers
At the Centre for Women's Mental Health, Manchester University (where I am based), we are offering a 
FREE
 half day workshop for female mental 
health service users from the North West of England who 
wish to improve their knowledge about sexual and 
reproductive health matters and their interaction with mental 
health. Participants will be introduced to an innovative online resource 
(
www.scie.org.uk/publications/elearning/sexualhealth/index.asp
)
, and 
provided with opportunities to 
reflect critically on these matters drawing 
on their own experience. 
The workshop will run on 
Monday
11 March 2013, 
9.45am-2.00pm, at the University of Manchester. 
Further details about how to book a place on the workshop can be found in the poster attached to this post. You can download the poster here:

I would  be grateful if you could circulate the information about the training workshop and the poster to your networks. Obviously, if you were interested and able to attend the workshop yourselves, you would be more than welcome. It would be great to have you there! 
 
 
Many thanks for your help with this
regards
Dina
