National Members' Day is the annual event for our members to hear inspiring speakers from across the mental health sector, find out more about the work of Rethink Mental Illness and have the chance to meet up and share experiences with other members. 

National Members' Day returns as an in-person event in 2024.

A highlight of the 2022 day was the presentation of the annual Rethink Mental Illness awards. Our keynote speaker, Dr Shubulade Smith, spoke about tackling inequality in mental health and improving outcomes. There was also a varied range of afternoon talks, music, a marketplace, and an opportunity to celebrate our 50th anniversary year.  

You will be able to book your place closer to the time through Eventbrite or by calling us on 0121 522 7016.  

If you’d like to take part, but can’t attend in person, we’ll also be sharing content via Facebook Live on our Facebook page.
