MHV CEO & Board Director Breakfast - Mental Health & Wellbeing Act 2022

29
Jul, 2024

Mental Health Victoria was delighted to host the CEO & Board Member Breakfast Event about the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022 in August.

We heard from the Minister for Mental Health, Ingrid Stitt, about the successes of implementing the Act to date and the importance of working together to achieve change.

Facilitated by Chris McDermott, MHV’s Deputy Chair, we had a stimulating panel discussion with thought provoking contributions from:  

  • Helen Makregiorgos  
    General Manager | Independent Mental Health Advocacy
  • Treasure Jennings 
    Chair Commissioner | Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission
  • Associate Professor Sophie Adams 
    Chief Psychiatrist of Victoria  
  • Tharindu Jayadeva 
    Lived and Living Experience Advisory Group Member | MHV


It was a jam-packed morning celebrating the progress we have made, the genuine and integrous passion we all share for working towards a “No-Wrong-Door” system, and the importance of practicing bravery and leadership on this long and windy road to the change that is system reform.

The digital format of the resources provided on the day are below:
