great idea - i heard you on the radio this morning and love the idea of transparency. I hope you get the attention and funding you are looking for – would love to be connected to a webpage so I could like it and share with friends

Congratulations on the success of the Clear Thinking Cube

Hi Mandy, ClearThinking QSRF is pushing forward in 2011 to establish a Research Centre for Youth Mental Health to bridge services and provide young people and their families a clear pathway to mental healthcare. It will connect first line treatment with more specialist care so that less young people drop out of treatment and a continuity of care is offered to young people who do not get better with primarary care. If you would like to help us in our 2011 campaign please join up as a "friend of ClearThinking" via the website and we will keep you in the loop about our upcoming events and how you can volunteer for the Foundation.

Is a question asked by so many suffering mental illness. More often than not suffering alone. People dont want to know that your not coping. Your expected to fix your problems yourself. ( I believe if we could the word suicide would not exist).
Mental Illness is yet another 'Hidden Handicap" the old " if you cant see it it doesnt exist" syndrome.
Unitl the sufferer is forced to do something drastic then people ask why?, WHy didnt they get help?? Very often sufferers try and are denied it for various reasons,either cos they cant afford it or they are told things like - " your obviously not all that depressed if u wont take medication etc
there are so many suffering in silence out there.

Kerri I'm scared enough to help. I have a son with a mental illness and our family is receiving NO support. Certain agencies are not prepared to assist, we find ourselves getting pushed from one agency to the next. Meanwhile my son is simply slipping through the cracks, getting worse and worse despite our repeated attempts to help. Please email me and let me know if there is anything I can do to support this worthy cause.

In a world that allows all sorts of information about yourself to be "out there" the one thing that seems taboo is to let anyone know you are "not coping".

Let's stop identifying people by what they do, because that commodifies them - ie gives them only economic value. Let's identify people by WHO they are and thereby maintain their inner self and value, and aid their mental health.

Heard you on the radio this morning. Thank you for doing this and raising awareness of such an important issue.

keep up the great work... it's such an important area and should be more recognised.... better than another tunnel....
