This month we had the last members meeting for the year! As a result of our March members meeting and with your feedback, we have been focusing on mental health as the leading issue to be addressed.
At this meeting, we shared with members the work we’ve been doing, and we with an exciting line up of speakers who spoke about their work in the mental health space. Our speakers included Mental Health commissioner Ivan Frkovic, Etienne Roux and Lisa Carvalho from Fortify Health Group, Tasneem Negussie a youth representative and Trisha Rwagaju from Mettlesome.
Mental health remains a crucial concern within our communities. We understand that pervasive stigma and taboos often hinder open discussions and support for those in need. At the heart of our efforts is a commitment to breaking these barriers.
We concentrated on how we can continue providing improved support to grassroots communities, leaders, and the often-unrecognised community members who work relentlessly to promote healthy relationships and foster positive mental wellbeing. By collaborating and raising awareness, we aim to create a more inclusive and understanding environment where mental health can be openly addressed and supported within our communities.
