Last week’s dinner in honour of Professor Richard Scolyer was a privilege to be a part of and so far the event has raised $22,000 for Brain Cancer research for the Richard Scolyer Chair at the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.

The CorriLee Foundation and No Laughing Matter invite the people of Noosa to attend an unprecedented event addressing one of Australia’s confronting (if not the most confronting), hidden, and under-reported issues: in**st.

We are hosting the internationally acclaimed French documentary ‘Such A Resounding Silence’ - a beautifully produced and deeply moving exploration of intrafamilial childhood sexual abuse, told through the lived experience of in**st survivors.

Following the film, a panel discussion will explore what Australia must do next - not only to support survivors, but to begin addressing in**st at the root: with prevention, education, and systemic change.

This Noosa screening (the 12th around Australia) is proudly supported by Kids Helpline and CEO Tracy Adams who continues to advocate for age-appropriate education and early intervention at every opportunity. Together, and with support from communities across Australia, we are advocating for survivors and committing to confronting and preventing abuse that occurs within the family.

This is not just a film screening. This is a call to action.
This issue is uncomfortable, but we must talk about it. In**st thrives in silence, and yet ends with awareness.

To those working in media, education, government, and the wider community: we invite you to attend and be part of the change.

Get your tickets from the link in bio and please bravely share widely with your community.

Tuesday 3rd March
MC: Sam Coward
Special Guest Speaker: David Williamson

Guest Panelists:

Tracy Adams (CEO Kids Helpline & long time supporter No Laughing Matter (NLM) podcast series)

Anne Lambert (Former actor & psychotherapist & and a NLM narrator)

Professor Catharine Lumby (Patron for the CorriLee Foundation & long time supporter of NLM)

Stop the stigma. End the shame.
