Secure your place for our last training session for the year, Inclusive Care Planning, on December 15th 📅

Caring for a person with a mental health condition can involve a broad network of people including relatives, friends and medical professionals like psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and social and peer workers.

Inclusive care planning refers to how everyone involved in a person’s care network can work together inclusively and collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcome for their loved one. Having knowledge of a system’s standards and your rights, as well as effective communication skills can prove pivotal, enabling care and treatment to be given effectively.

MHCN and BEING are working together to prepare a letter and dossier to send to the NSW government demanding the termination of police as the only first response solution to someone having a mental health crisis. Consequently, we are currently seeking people to share their stories of poor treatment at the hands of the police. With 54 people dying in the hands of the police during such interventions over the past 5 years it is surely time for a radical and more caring, trauma-informed alternative.

Real-life stories are incredibly powerful in this kind of advocacy.

👉 If you are someone who’s had a bad experience as a result of the police response to a mental health incident, or if you are a carer of a mental health consumer who has, please click the link in our bio to complete the online form and share your story.

Submissions close on Friday, Dec 8th at 5pm.

Within Australia, one in six people are living with disability 🌏

International Day of People with Disability is a United Nations observed day held on December 3rd each year to increase public awareness, understanding and inclusion of people with disability.

The theme for 2023 is ‘United in action to rescue and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for, with and by persons with disabilities.’

This theme asks everyone to work together to make the world better and fairer for people with disability and talks about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

It is important that people with disability are part of this work and have a big say in what happens to make the world better and fairer for everyone.

Help spread the word this December, and all year round, to help make Australia more inclusive for people with disability.
