Join us on Friday June 5th for MHCN’s next Carer Connections Meeting! 💬 Each meeting offers a supportive and friendly space for mental health carers to connect, meet new people, and explore advocacy interests. By fostering mutual collaboration, these gatherings also play a key role in shaping MHCN's policy and advocacy work, ensuring that the voices of mental health carers, families, and friends help guide the organisation's priorities and areas of focus. If you're a carer, we’d love for you to join us for a chat! 👋 🔗 Click the link in our bio to register!

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to recommit ourselves to reconciliation and the fight for First Nations justice in Australia. The 2026 theme, All In, is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. This theme makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take actions that create change. The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long. The work that remains to be done requires all of us to do our part. All In is not about guilt or shame, but about the reciprocal responsibility of being Australian. 🔗 Visit the @reconciliationaus website to learn more and get involved - https://www.reconciliation.org.au/all-in-for-national-reconciliation-week-2026/ 🔗 Visit the @reconciliationaus website to learn more and get involved - link in bio!

World Schizophrenia Awareness Day, observed on May 24th every year, aims to raise public awareness about schizophrenia and to reduce the stigma associated with the condition. The day also serves as an opportunity to support those living with the condition and to advocate for early detection and intervention, which research has shown is linked to better long-term outcomes. In Australia, schizophrenia affects around 2.4 per 1000 people and is slightly more common in men than women. Many people who live with schizophrenia face social isolation, discrimination, and limited access to healthcare and support services. Whether you’re living with schizophrenia or supporting someone who is, learning about the condition and sharing accurate information can help foster understanding and reduce mental health stigmatisation. 🔗 Visit the @saneaustralia website for more information about schizophrenia, including the symptoms and pathways for treatment and support - link in bio!
