In today’s fast paced society mental health is of increasing interest and relevance for many. The demand for information has been steadily increasing, as more and more people start taking an active interest in their own mental health.
The Mental Health Foundation (ACT), a leading mental health service provider and information resource, has responded to this growing demand by organising a series of public information talks, to be held throughout all regions of Canberra. A Gungahlin talk on bipolar disorder will be the first in its series.
The Foundation’s public information talk on bipolar disorder is receiving much community interest. Andrea Close, a local media celebrity, is one of many Canberrans who are keen to help out: Andrea will discuss her own perspective and experiences of this illness. This talk is an opportunity for you to learn and understand life differently, to see and experience other perspectives.
A leading team of mental health professionals will also take your questions on bipolar disorder. They will discuss what symptoms people experience, what treatments and services are available in Gungahlin and Canberra. The public information talk will be informative and engaging, a good opportunity.
