We are committed to amplifying the voices of people with lived experience of complex mental health issues to reduce stigma and discrimination. Our mental health advocacy is informed by our service users, Peer Ambassadors, and research from our Anne Deveson Research Centre. Together we are changing attitudes towards complex mental health issues in Australia and addressing key policy and service gaps.
