Lived Experience Stories

Mental Health Australia acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to all Elders both past and present and express our support to voice, treaty and truth telling. We also acknowledge the unique contribution of people with lived experience of mental ill health and those who love and care for them in championing mental health reform. As an inclusive organisation we celebrate people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, bodies, and abilities.
