Stand Up For Mental Health
Today was an amazing day in my studies for a Certificate III in Disability. Our teacher Jo McDougal entered the room on crutches. She is teaching us about understanding of mental health issues and recovery.
As she explained that she had knee re-construction and that she was a nurse in a mental health ward in a hospital, I had flash backs of the time I was in the Royal Adelaide Hospital after a life threatening motor cycle accident.
