Woodcock Lecture - Reimagining Mental Health: Dignity, Humanity and the Power of Lived Experience - Part 2

Wednesday, 25 June 2025 - 4:00pm to Wednesday, 2 July 2025 - 4:30pm

Last month, we held our 24th Annual Woodcock Lecture in Melbourne. The evening brought together mental health advocates, peer workers, clinicians, and people with lived experience around a central theme: how to centre dignity and humanity in the mental health system. This episode will feature keynote speaker, Giancarlo de Vera the CEO of BEING, as they discuss the loss of close friends and 'the slow invisible violence of coercive treatment', that exists within the mental health system.

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
