To recognise Mental Health Awareness Month, I sat down with SANE Patron and Lived Experience advocate, Janet Meagher AM who lives with schizophrenia, to talk about psychosocial support and the importance of finding help to manage your recovery.
I hope you enjoy this special opportunity to hear from my friend Janet. Please join me in the discussion below, what does psychosocial support look like for you, and what helps you in your recovery?
I'd also like to know if this sort of format is an interesting one for Forum members - would a 'SANE TV' style of content - invited speakers and more video/webinar content be interesting to you. If so, what topics and speakers would you want to see on here?

Hi @RachSANECEO
This was a great opportunity to listen and learn from experience. I would love to see a SANETV space. Could you explore complex mental health issues from a lived experience stance?
My psychosocial experience has involved my community mental health team, psychologist, recovery collage, the SANE peer guide program and currently fulfilling a scholarship to do a certificate IV in mental health peer work.
