The inter-professional approach to learning in a specialty field created a learning environment for us to broaden our perceptions and constructs, shared experiences and learn from each other’s professional lived experiences. We shared a common interest and passion to enhance our understanding of mental health. We reflected, analysed and explored the past, present and future of mental health and mental health care.”
