Schizophrenia Awareness Week
This year marks 30 years of Schizophrenia Awareness Week. That’s 30 years of advocacy, raising awareness and helping people ‘step out of the darkness and into the light’. We have made so much progress but we still have more to do.
This year during Schizophrenia Awareness Week we’re going to look back through the campaigns that have slowly and surely chipped away at mental illness stigma over the years. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter to see how awareness of schizophrenia has evolved over the years.
Also on for Schizophrenia Awareness Week is:
We're thrilled to announce that this luncheon is now booked out! We're looking forward to this fantastic opportunity to join the Parliamentary Friends of Mental Illness, enjoy lunch at Parliament House, meet new people and hear from our guest speakers David Astle and Mick Reid.
Every year we are making new discoveries in the field of mental illness. New research is being performed and people are changing lives in different ways. We bring together some of the leading researchers in mental illness in Australia along with other thought-leaders to share the latest in mental health management.
Professor Niels Buus (Professor of Mental Health Nursing at Sydney University) will join us along with CEO of Suicide Prevention Australia Sue Murray. For more information or to register click here
