Victoria's Mental Health Crisis: Voices and Visions for Change
“I think that listening to peers, and not just tokenistic listening but proper listening, will be a good place to start.”
Victoria's mental health system is in the spotlight in this compelling episode of 'All In The Mind'. With one of the lowest rates of specialist mental health care in the public sector, the system is struggling. The workforce is demoralized, and the quality of care is suffering. But what can be done to turn things around?
The mental health royal commission is digging deep to find answers, focusing on the value of lived experiences and how they can lead to better care. Personal stories bring these issues to life, including Justin Hazelwood's account of growing up in a family grappling with mental illness and the burden of being a young carer. This episode doesn’t just highlight problems; it also offers hope.
There’s a call to listen to those who have lived through these challenges and consider a complete overhaul of the system. If you're curious about the real-world impact of mental health policies and the potential for meaningful change, this episode is a must-listen.
