summer is reportedly here - IIMHL in 2013

July is nearly halfway through and it would be good to have sunshine some of the time.  

The IIMHL - international initiative for mental health leadership - is being held in March 2013 with exchanges available in Australia and New Zealand, with the 2 day networking in Auckland, NZ.  An opportunity for sharing practice, innovation and to build collaboration - http://www.iimhl.com/
