Topic Tuesday // What is mental health reform and why is it important for you // Feb 14, 7-9pm AEDT

With the changes brought about by the Fifth Mental Health Plan, many people are left trying to figure out what this means for them. What are the changes? How does this impact accessing services? How do you find information?
Join us on February 14, to discuss this with Frank Quinlan, CEO of Mental Health Australia (MHA), to help decipher what mental health reform actually means for you. MHA have been working on identifying issues with the Mental Health Plan, and have a key focus on advocating on behalf consumers and carers, so that their voices can be heard during reform. During this discussion, we will unpack how these policy changes will impact on your everyday life, address concerns that you may have, and what you can do to have your opinions heard.

Thanks Andra, yes I do, I'm very resilient. And very angry.

@matsionoah I am sitting here trying to think of something to say to you, but I can't think of anything that doesn't sound absurdly trite. So I'm just going to let you know that I am sitting here beside you right now.

@matsionoah resilience and anger are very useful in impossible situations. Thinking of you.
