So what exactly is Peerfest?
2016 is the 4th year of Peerfest, a one day conference and celebration for and by people with lived experience of mental health problems, funded by Mind and hosted by Sound Minds in collaboration with Antenna Collective and Sutton Mental Health Foundation.
The event aims to inspire delegates through workshops, creative activities and debate about peer support practice. Peerfest 2016 will be a forum to make connections, share and learn. Antenna are hosting the after party, which will be free to delegates and ticketed for the wider public.
