Connect for Mental Health

Let's connect for mental health.

Join us for an inspiring community forum as we get ready for Queensland Mental Health Week.

While this event is part of our Queensland Primary Health Care Network (QPHCN) series, it is a gathering for everyone—community leaders, health workers, and anyone passionate about wellbeing. It’s a chance to connect, collaborate, and discuss what really matters in mental health, all inspired by this year's theme, 'Connect for mental health'.

During this 90-minute session, you'll hear from leaders and advocates making a real difference in our community.

Who will be speaking at the event?

Ivan Frkovic, Queensland Mental Health Commissioner

As the Queensland Mental Health Commissioner, Ivan has extensive experience across the mental health sector.

His work focuses on driving reform and improving the mental health and wellbeing of all Queenslanders.

James Hill joins us to share his personal story and insights. 

James said, "I use my experience and journey to demonstrate anyone can experience mental ill-health, I want to create an environment where people are able to recognise signs of declining mental health early and have an understanding of what interventions are available and how to access them. 

In order for people to speak openly we need a safe environment and that begins with deeper understanding, compassion and empathy."
