Last Month's Speaker summary by Peter Gibbs on behalf of Sue Harris

Professor Helen Herrman AO, recounted her past WHO experience recognising and alleviating mental health issues in developing countries and in particular Nepal and North East India.

Medical attention can go so far but further success improves significantly with community involvement, be it the environment, counselling or bonding with others.

Whilst Australia with its different mental health issues does not come under the WHO umbrella, findings are shared with Australian health bodies.

Be it teenage depression/bullying through mid-life anxiety and substance abuse to old age results are being achieved with the concept of community engagement.

A serious topic and not one to be swept under the carpet.
