Death by suicide is hard to think about, let alone talk about. But this is what mental health advocate Craig Hamilton is asking us to do.
He wants everyone to make ‘the promise’ that if you’re struggling with your mental health, you will tell someone.
In this episode of Law Matters, Catherine Henry speaks to Craig about his recent documentary, The Promise, and the manic episode that began Craig’s mission to talk openly about mental health and work tirelessly to reduce stigma.
In this episode, Catherine and Craig talk about:
- How attitudes to mental health have changed over the past 20 years
- Why, despite all the advancements, we still need to do better when it comes to providing care for people with mental illness
- Why people in regional and rural Australia face even greater disadvantages
