We talk to leading mental health academics, professionals, practitioners, philanthropists and people with lived experience and try to learn how we can improve our mental health system and improve our own mental health and wellbeing too.

Our goals in releasing the series are:

• To encourage further investment into mental health programs, resources and solutions for the benefit of our community
• To encourage greater awareness and understanding of mental health issues that are negatively impacting on our community
