If there is any confusion this can help cut through it #VoteYes #VoiceReferendum @Briggs
I’ve always been a fan of @Briggs . The kind of rap/hip hop I like has always been socially aware and active. After you check out this video about the voice referendum check out some of his tunes. Man is fire 🔥

This thread should be read by anyone in healthcare. It made me cry. Not only how awful, and dehumanising this was but the many responses putting responsibility back on Dr Kavanagh, who has my empathy and sympathy. Whilst not common these types of occurrences still too frequent.

#ReligiousDiscriminationBill = legalising discrimination against certain people (in certain circumstances) if your religion says it’s ok. Discrimination is never ok. This will cause horrid outcomes for mental health, wellbeing, and basic rights. Why does anyone want that?

I despair. I get frustration at lockdown. But it’s a highly contagious virus that can kill or leave people sick for months. Disbelieving it won’t make you safer. Heroic healthcare workers remain at risk on frontlines. Gathering on mass without masks = harming everyone

Managed care is a real threat to the holistic, and effective care, that our communities need and are asking for. Be it mental health or physical health.

Changes in line with managed care are not in keeping with the intended humanisation of the mental health system as recommended from the Victorian Royal Commission into Mental Health.” @RCMentalHealth @RANZCP @RANZCP_Pres @DrAsthaTomar @Holpsych

Hi Zoe - So important. A genuine co-produced and designed MH system needs to incorporate a diversity of lived experiences. So many different experiences and we need to learn from all lived experiences of the system.
@RANZCP @MentalHealthVic @RCMentalHealth @DrAsthaTomar
What an important message. Thanks @DrAsthaTomar for all the great advocacy work you do. #committoquit

My concern for this report, and for all the work we doing, now and going forward, is those with our a voice.
We should not talk for them. We should empower to speak.
@MentalHealthVic @DrAsthaTomar
Dr Kerryn Rubin (@RANZCP) has been emphasising the importance of collaboration during the panel. He says we should be "Making spaces to invite people who have been left out in." #PuttingItAllTogether

This report will set the agenda for the next generation and beyond. Hopefully we set off on a road to a modern, co-produced mental health system that meets the needs of our whole community @RCMentalHealth #mentalhealth

Conversion ‘therapies’ must be banned. They are harmful dangerous and propagate discrimination. Intent of the Bill is great. But it needs clearer definitions that don’t unintentionally stop exploratory therapies that affirm identity and help those in need

Well done to everyone involved in this. Unlikely “reality TV” a chance to see reality, on TV.
