The “Mental Health Space” was set up as part of FIVEaa’s approach to help normalise the mental health conversation. During the past year, we have covered topics such as Bullying, PTSD, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression and suicide. The conversations have been engaging, challenging and insightful, connecting the lived experience story with Breakthrough and investment into targeted mental health research.

One of the strong theme’s throughout our shows, is the importance of having a mental health conversation, upstanding some of the blocks and barriers that we may face in opening up and acknowledging the challenges we face and taking the first steps to gaining support and help.

On this show to discuss the mental health conversation we are joined by Geoff Harris – Executive Director, Mental Health Coalition of South Australia and John Mannion – Executive Director of Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation.

This show first aired on Tuesday, 01 October 2019.
