One Door Mental Health will be hosting our annual symposium during Schizophrenia Awareness Week (SAW) in 2022.

For many years, the One Door Symposium has been the perfect platform to launch SAW and bring together some of the leading researchers, advocates, industry leaders, and people we support to share the latest insights into mental health.

During the week, we will discuss topics such as alternative therapies, ensuring quality and safeguards for psychosocial services, research, and peer leadership.
