Wednesday 29 May 2024:

Our team picked up the trailer from Mount Martha, loaded the trailer at Pitman Reserve, then back to Mt Martha to unload and return to Hans's place for use next week.

Normally we just load the trailer, so this was a longer day than normal.

The next harvest will be at George Andrews Reserve Dandenong and has been rescheduled to Tuesday 4th June so if anyone has a hankering to find out what we do then please make contact and join us.

It was a privilege to attend this informative and inspirational Luncheon today,

DGE Colin Byron, Leanne & Terry were all in attendance along with many other Rotarians, their partners and Rotaractors from all over Victoria.

 

Professor Patrick McGorry gave a very informative talk and presentation on Mental Health statistics and the effects of society changes which have led to Youth Mental Health decline.

 

RI President Gordon McInally spoke with great passion about Mental Health and how we have and will continue to Create Hope in the World, continuing the journey of erasing 'stigma' relating to mental health issues and ways in which we can support and open up the conversation.

R U OK really should be 'Are you really OK'?

Terry's comments:
I did ask one question (poorly) concerning the causes of Suicide per the documentation by the ABS on the psychosocial Risk Factors which showed 13 or the top 18 may be related to family breakup and the systems in place (another social factor that could be managed differently) and expressed interest to be stay behind and discuss a possible project on Parental Alienation and Family Separation.

Time will tell if I can progress anything through Rotary.
