Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide – Update

Online , Australia

Join us to hear from Dr Peggy Brown AO, one of the three Commissioners, to hear about the learnings from the Royal Commission.  Stigma is one of the major barriers for serving Defence personnel and veterans accessing vital mental health and wellbeing services. This includes the stigma:   of recognising you are not okay and need professional help in a Defence role. Hearing from people with lived experience highlights that veterans may not get the immediate treatment and support they need as they are treated as being weak.     surrounding veterans and serving members who are often seen by mainstream psychological service providers as ‘too hard’, ‘aggressive’, damaged irreparably by their service experiences, or that this is a Veterans Affairs responsibility.    These stigmas prevent serving members, veterans and families from accessing the help they need.   This webinar looks at insights into what assists in reducing stigma and increasing access and support.

Liptember – Raising funds and awareness for women’s mental health all September

“Liptember” encourages Aussies to rock their favourite coloured lipstick everyday in the month of September, as a colourful way to spark REAL conversations about women's mental health and raise funds while doing so. Starting in 2010, the “Liptember” flagship fundraising campaign has raised more than $15 million to date, helping support women’s mental health research, programs, initiatives, and support services across the country. “There has been a persistent blind spot when it comes to women’s mental health and the lack of research, programs, and support focused on women’s mental health is something we’re committed to improving,” Liptember CEO and Founder, Luke Morris, explains. “We’re encouraging Aussie women to join in Liptember, following recent findings from the inaugural Liptember Foundation Women’s Mental Health Research Study that one in two women are currently experiencing mental illness." It’s easy, simply register to become a fundraiser and proudly rock a bright lippy everyday during September. It goes a long way towards starting those important conversations and raising money for women’s mental health.
