What can we learn when we get curious about the experiences of those around us?

Ahead of our upcoming course, Do You Hear What I Hear? and other ways of thinking about psychosis, we’re grateful to be sharing Lucy’s story of psychosis and recovery.

By speaking about her experience so candidly, she invites us to move beyond assumptions and get curious about the many different ways people experience and making sense of unshared realities.

If Lucy’s story has sparked your curiosity, we’d love you to join us for the course! ⬇️

✨ New episode out ✨

What if crisis care felt a little different?
In this episode, we speak with Danny, Centre Manager of Neami National’s Urgent Mental Health Care Centre in Adelaide, about a different approach to supporting people experiencing mental health crisis.
At the centre, people are welcomed as guests, not patients or clients. We explore what this means in practice, from peer support and a philosophy of “care, not treatment” to a calm, lounge room-like environment where guests are recognised as the experts in their own lives.
Danny shares what happens when someone walks through the door, why the centre prioritises safety over surveillance, and how small shifts in language, environment and relationships can transform the experience of crisis.
