Interested and impressed by @orygen_aus IPS work to focus on supporting young people back to study & work after a #mentalhealth crisis. Well done! This is only more important now, post the Covid-19 pandemic, since the direction and drive for many young people has been disrupted.

"Families and carers are co-opted by the mental health system to provide unpaid support, often causing relational trauma and fracturing familial bonds irreparably" - @bullyresearch and @SimonKatterl in @CroakeyNews

Despite years of good intentions from politicians and bureaucrats, we are not closer to closing the gap in education outcomes for Indigenous children.

It's time to listen to Indigenous people when creating policies that affect us. It's time for a Voice.
