From National MH Survey Young people bear the brunt and mental ill health has increased by a whopping 50% from 26% in 2007 to 39% in 16-24 year olds. Youth MH Crisis? Yes it is real and we need to respond urgently with preventive measures and a major strengthening of MH care

More conclusive evidence that universal interventions however seductive are ineffective and potentially wasteful. All the evidence supports targeted early intervention.

Today is a milestone in Victoria’s 10-year #mentalhealth and reform journey. @VicGovAu introduced a new Mental Health and Wellbeing Bill to Parliament. This will replace the current Mental Health Act 2014, as recommended by the Royal Commission.

As part of my work as Parliamentary Secretary for Mental Health, I headed to Ararat and Martha Haylett, Labor’s Candidate for the seat of Ripon said ‘you have to drop into an organisation called One Red Tree’. I’m really glad I did.

Young people face significant mental health challenges at the moment, which puts pressure on emergency departments. There are more young kids with anxiety and depression. Higher rates of self-harm and eating disorders. What's your MP doing about it? #ausvotes #AusPol2022 #Auspol

Woke up this morning feeling very blessed to be disabled - I reckon my parents are pretty happy about it too.
Feeling sorry for us and our families doesn’t help. Treating us equally, and giving us the choice and control over our own lives does

Psychologists are overrun with demand and as a result:
- 1 in 3 psychologists are unable to see new clients
- This is up from 1 in 5 in June 2021
- Prior to the pandemic, only 1 in 100 psychologists were not taking new clients.

We’re hearing stories like this from right around the country, and especially in regional Australia. Seeing young people turned away from essential healthcare is just heartbreaking. We need to see big changes.
One in three psychologists have closed their books and children are being left behind. #abc730 @Zalika_R abc.net.au/news/2022-02-23/c…

More children require support than ever before. Just $5 million from the Federal Government could create 3500 more supervisors and 6000 more work-ready placement #psychologists within two years ow.ly/XIuW50I2Tg9 #mentalhealth #psychology #frontline
