SCHIZOPHRENIA AWARENESS<br />
WEEK<br />
The big event for the <strong>Gladstone</strong> Healthy Minds Team this month has been<br />
participating in Schizophrenia Awareness Week 15th -21st May Collaboration<br />
between Government and Non-Government Organisations saw us working<br />
together to inform our community of this much misunderstood mental illness and<br />
reduce the stigma felt by those who suffer from it.<br />
Our display stand in Kin Kora Mall handed out many balloons and a variety of<br />
information to shoppers. We attended a Working To Recovery Workshop on the<br />
18th with International Speaker Ron Coleman who inspired us all with his own<br />
recovery journey.<br />
The week finished with a BBQ at Anzac Park hosted by our local drop in centre<br />
„The Haven‟, our part was to bring the sweets which were generously donated by<br />
our local Coles store. Our local Member of Parliament Liz Cunningham paid a visit<br />
bearing chocolates that were enjoyed by all. A great week of Community<br />
Education and a month of networking and planning within our <strong>Gladstone</strong><br />
community.<br />
A Mystery Bus tour was enjoyed this month by the members of our social support<br />
group Freedom and Friendship, participants worked in pairs answering questions<br />
as we visited various locations around our city, stopping for a lovely Devonshire<br />
Tea at the Botanical Gardens and then back to base for prizes. Much fun and<br />
laughter was had by us all.<br />
