Mental health and the community
Lucinda Brogden AM, Chair of the National Mental Health Commission mentioned in a Northern Beach Webinar that mental health discussion should be lead by the community. We are more comfortable talking to our friends than someone on the phone. Although the social workers on the various mental health organisations are well trained I believe we need to be able to help our friends, co-workers and family. We need to make sure we check on the people within our community to see how they are travelling.
