Mental health but not as you know it | Louise Byrne | TEDxRockhampton

[@PHanomaly]

This was the best mental health recovery / TED talk that I've seen seriously it's everything that needs to be said and said clearly in everyday terms that everyone understands thank you

[@tomvernham4594]

Brilliant talk. Thank you for having the courage to persevere.

Lived experience, in my experience, needs to be respected by professionals; financially (it shouldn’t be always volunteer work), that it’s a profession in it’s own right, that experience is valuable. Each time that discrimination hits, even KZbin is a help.

So brave and courageous, I have watched this multiple times

[@StuartGClark]

Amazing, moving and inspiring…thankyou

[@sueanderson6650]

I found myself really moved by Louise's take out of the need to 'show up for ourselves.'

[@louisebyrne9170]

Thanks so much Sue. It's not easy but so important I believe!

[@larrywhite6262]

I have to add your part about the loss of friends and loss of your job at the University yeah that was a turning point in my life too that still hasn't ended and actually I was working in recovery I had just started and so I know these principles well and where I'm at now in another state I am really struggling to survive because they've co-opted these terms and pretended to be something they're not in their mental health services here are very very threatening and not helpful so I needed to hear everything you said because it reminded me of what's important what I've always known and congratulations your excellent speaker and very inspiring

[@livedexperienceleadership]

Thank you very much and fingers crossed things will turn around for you soon (or already have I don't look on here very often!). There is a lot of risk of co-option in this space but also some great new initiatives - particularly staring in Victoria, that give me hope and will provide lots more jobs for our mob.
