Mental Health Forum coming up
As part of our efforts to increase understanding around mental health and to de-stigmatise the public's perception on a range of issues surrounding mental health. Our audience will have the opportunity to hear from various guest speakers, including;
• CEO of the Schizophrenia Fellowship Mr Robert Ramjan
• President of the Mental Health Review Tribunal the Hon Greg James QC
• A carer and a consumer to talk to the forum
The night will consist of each of the aforementioned speaking for an allotted period of time followed by a free question time. The forum is free and is not to raise funds for any group.
When is it?
Tues the 8th September 2009 @ Burwood RSL (96 Shaftesbury Rd, Burwood)
Why you should come along
1 in every 5 Australians faces mental health issues at some point in their life. That means that the chances of you knowing someone with mental health issues or being that person yourself are high. Even with these statistics, people do not get the help they need. We want to talk about mental health as a community so that we can help to educate each other and take away the stigma surrounding this important part of our health.
