The Pink Panther Business Meeting
We engage in routine lobbying of members of the federal government and other mental health policy decision makers with a view to establishing supervised Soteria style community houses in Australia. We also discuss and plan other related ‘Panther activities at our twice monthly online business meetings via Zoom. These meetings are typically held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.
Next Meeting Date: Tuesday 23th April 2024
Brain Storming Session
Where To From Here?
Over the last 12 months quite a bit of work has been done in an attempt to affect mental health reform in Australia but we have come to something of a cross road.
Our next ‘Panther business meeting will be a Brain Storming session. We invite as many people as possible to participate.
The problem to be creatively solved :-
Reflecting on what has already been done, how can we best move forward to contribute towards mental health reform in Australia?
Time: 7.00 -8.30pm AEST (Melbourne Sydney Time)
