Topic Tuesday // Let's talk about Schizophrenia // Tues 25th May, 7:00-8:30PM AEST

Hi there Forums Community,

Next week from the 23rd to the 29th of May, we will be celebrating Schizophrenia Awareness Week in a collaboration with One Door. One of the events we will be hosting is this Topic Tuesday on the 25th of May from 7:00-8:30pm (AEST). Join us here and let's talk about Schizophrenia.

This fortnight we are joined by two special guests; one of SANE's amazing Peer Ambassadors, and a member of the One Door Mental Health Team.

Schizophrenia Awareness Week

Schizophrenia Awareness Week aims to bring visibility to the lived experiences of those living with Schizophrenia, and encourage action to overcome the stigma and discrimination that many people living with Schizophrenia still face.

This year we will be celebrating the theme of Schizophrenia Awareness Week, 'Discover Better Mental Health', with a Topic Tuesday that will talk about the experience of living with Schizophrenia, person centred approaches to wellbeing and recovery, and where you can seek support.

Please join us here on Tuesday the 25th of May 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEST to follow this conversation.

Just interested @Daisydreamer as my brother in law was initially diagnosed with schirophrenia, b4 changing to bipolar some years later. And some of my dear friends here in the forum live with schitzophrenia. So I really want to develop a better understanding of it in order to better support those dealing with it.

Q1: Why is schizophrenia awareness week important?

Schizophrenia Awareness Week (SAW) aims to increase awareness, educate the community, and reduce the stigma people with schizophrenia may experience, and to encourage inclusive behaviour and help-seeking. To support this, One Door have a series of events occurring over the week of in-person and digital events discussing topics such as system reform, peer-supported Open Dialogue, Aboriginal Mental Health, carers’ mental health, perinatal psychosis, and improving the cardiometabolic health of people with serious mental health issues
