In late 2010 I attended a Mental Health Carer Forum at which Eva Cox gave a very inspiring presentation. I would like to share her ideas with those of you who were unable to attend.
The area of Mental Health and how we as a society address the myriad of issues relating to it was the theme. Rather than bandaid solutions passed on through government initiatives, that we as carers are all too aware rarely offer profound long-term solutions, Eva suggests we try to think outside the square -to try to understand the underlying causes of the mental health epidemic.
