The United Nations has already recommended all countries plan a response to the mental health consequences of the pandemic. We've already heard numerous Australian mental health services organisations sound the alarm.
We think it's important our community stays informed on our local leader's approach to the crisis, specifically focusing on mental health services and future investment into this area.
Attending the panel discussion, you will hear what our community's mayoral candidates think in regards to current mental health services, their approach to the mental health crisis & where they would focus resources if elected.

More about Mind Medicine Australia and medicinal psychedelic-assisted therapy:
Mind Medicine Australia is Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisation working on the use of medicinal psilocybin and MDMA-assisted therapies to treat a range of mental illnesses. Mind Medicine Australia exists to help alleviate the suffering caused by our accelerating mental illness epidemic in Australia, through expanding the treatment options available to medical practitioners and their patients.
Unlike current treatments such as anti-depressants, which only manage the illness and can have nasty side effects, psilocybin and MDMA assisted therapies have been scientifically proven to be a safe and effective cure for anxiety, depression, end-of-life stress, addictions and PTSD after just a short treatment program. These medicines are also currently being researched for dementia, eating disorders, OCD and a number of other conditions. Both medicines have been granted Breakthrough Therapy Status by the FDA in the USA to fast-track their approval. This designation is only given to medicines which may prove to be vastly superior to existing treatments.
At Mind Medicine Australia we are dedicated to helping the now global movement to spread this awareness and ensure these medicines are available via the medical system. Please watch and share our 2-minute animation to find out why psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy needs to be available to those who are suffering.
