Tomorrow's paper tonight. We think our communities and our health workers need help. But no one seems to be listening.

Include women! – at Albury, New South Wales
Let's say my team & I were hypothetically running a survey on men's mental health & suicide during #COVID19Aus, what would you like us to include? From coping to protective factors to situational stressors and help-seeking, we're open to ideas! Fire away. @MovemberAUS @orygen_aus

I cannot express how much this has meant to me. All the kind messages of solidarity and support, the shared stories and resources sent my way have really helped more than you can know. I wish I had something more profound to say but all I can manage is: thank you.

This morning we were advised that my gorgeous daughter Evie has tested positive for COVID-19. One of Canberra’s 17 positive cases today. My full statement is available on this link or on my Facebook page. katygallagher.com.au/news/me…

@Kirs1973 I agree 100% with you - that’s exactly what I was talking about. And I speak from personal as well as professional experience. Families are a relatively untapped source of advocacy and influence @Oz4mentalhealth

I am pleased to be part of the first #MentalHealthAction Day today. The last year has been a tough one, but even a small action can help. Go to MentalHealthActionDay.org in case you aren’t sure where to start.

Ok, you follow me; means you’re either here to support what I do or troll what I do; either way, you all really need to sign & share this!! Asking the PM to meet with families who have died in custody shouldn’t require thousands of signatures asking!!! actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Someone tried to invalidate my suffering even though they don't know me Just because I'm smiling & I'm a psychiatrist it doesn't mean I've never cried before & that I've not been a mental health patient I chose psychiatry because I don't want people to suffer the way I did

$25 extra a week. I support #RaiseTheRate but this is vastly inadequate to cover the cost of living. It’s also offensive when the supplement payment recognised life costs more. What changes on 31 March to make life cheaper - or is it that some jobseekers are worth more? #auspol – at Melbourne, Victoria
