Change Mental Health is a leading Scottish mental health charity that has spent over the last 50 years delivering transformational support to tens of thousands of people across the country. They also develop strong partnerships with organisations in Scotland to ensure workplaces have the tools and knowledge to prioritise wellbeing, with training offerings grounded in lived experience and organisational heritage. A charity building a future where no one faces mental illness alone, they are transforming society by changing attitudes, challenging stigma and influencing government to enable a better quality of life for those impacted.

Wellbeing at Work and Change Mental Health are delighted to present the 2nd annual People First Summit in Scotland that will take place in Edinburgh on 23 November 2026.

With these two leading organisations working together, we are providing a fantastic environment for employers from across Scotland to learn, connect and engage and enable thriving workplaces and employees.

Earn 8 CPD points by attending this conference!

Join us at the People First Summit to:

* Connect in person with peers from leading employer brands

* Learn from leading organisations from across the region

* Access cutting edge data and insights to deliver high performance

* Validate or challenge your own ideas and strategies to create a positive culture in your workplace

* Integrate tools and knowledge to lift employee satisfaction, engagement, performance and productivity in your organisation.

The data is clear. Those organisations that choose to make wellbeing at work a strategic priority out-perform their competitors – organisations that support their people to feel psychologically and socially safe, have more capacity, more creativity and perform at a much higher level, attracting the best talent.
