Mental Health with FIVEaa

From July to February, Breakthrough will once again be participating in monthly radio segments on FIVEaa with Afternoons with Stacey Lee. We’ll be sharing mental health stories and the impact that mental health research can provide.

In this episode, we discuss the role women are playing in the mental health sector, focusing on the contributions of Breakthrough to community mental health initiatives.

The episode features Little Heroes Professor of Child and Adolescent Mental Health – and emerging world leader in youth mental health – Dr Bridi O’Dea.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of the Big Talks for Little People and mental health programs for young Indigenous children.

The episode features internationally recognised award-winning academic, mentor, speaker, & researcher, Professor Shane Pill from Flinders University.

Veteran mental health has become a critical national issue, especially in light of The Royal Commission into Defence and Veterans Suicide, which revealed alarming rates of suicide and mental illness among veterans.

With insights from both Breakthrough CEO John Mannion and ADF veteran Professor Ben Wadham, this segment explores the current state of veteran mental health and what actions are being taken to address the crisis.
