DIRC Disability Forums: Families and Mental Health

The next DIRC Disability Forum will be held on Thursday 6th October from 10.30am to 12.20pm.

The topic for the forum will be Families and Mental Health. The forum will be presented by Cindy Eggington BAppSc (Dis) (Hons).

Every day 330 Australians with serious mental illnesses are turned away from Emergency Departments, 1,200 Australians are refused admission to a public or private psychiatric unit. Every day more than 7 people die as a result of a suicide, and more than a third of those have been discharged too early or without care from hospitals.

Bookings are required.
