On 22 August AHPA held a workshop hosted by AHPA Board members Belinda Lunnay and Louise Baldwin, featuring AHPA's 2024 thinker-in-residence, Katherine Trebeck.
The workshop encompassed discussion about the economy, who it is working for, what changes can be made and how, and what we might be able to do in your respective area to build a wellbeing economy.
Thank you to everyone that attended!
