10 years ago, Recovery Camp started as an experiment. Today it has provided over 1,390 health students with mental health clinical experience placement. Read about how the program profoundly impacts both students and participants. 🙌👉uow.to/44Pbpb9

Just pondering a slogan for the ‘Yes’ campaign #Voice2023 #referendum
At the risk of using an often divisive song, and one many of us struggle to sing, maybe it works as a slogan: Advance Australia, Fair #VoteYes

It's important #disability workers wear masks, sanitise, RAT and vaccinate to keep us safe from #COVID19 @criprights @bluntshovels @Kavanagh_AM @inclusionoz @NDS_Disability @AfdoOffice @CydaAu @PWDAustralia @NDS_Disability @kurtfearnley @dana_advocacy @SummerFoundtn @CydaAu

Genuinely & deeply sad we are losing a Voice like #StanGrant. Truth is often hard to hear, truth about ourselves and truth about others can be uncomfortable, and sometimes needs to be. Change comes by truth being given a Voice. Truth cannot be heard without a Voice. @QandA #qanda

10 years of better mental health clinical placements
How much fun and learning, and fun while learning, can you fit into the first 24 hours of camp?
This week #RecoveryCamp is a clinical placement for nursing and paramedicine students of @CDUni @unetweets and @ACUmedia
Shoutout to @Recovery_Camp , @ChrisFPatterson, @LornaMoxham for 10 years identifying and fighting stigma in health care by bringing nursing students and people with mental illness together without labels. @ABCthedrum @abcnews @WINNews_Woll @illawarramerc recoverycamp.com.au/
At the risk of being branded ‘old’, @triplej, I’m genuinely interested in the reasoning behind ‘no caps’ in this. I know you’re far from alone in the approach. @abcnews @abcsydney

Probably not the first to say it, but shout-out to the social media platforms with algorithms that promote videos with onscreen captions. It’s creating generations of people used to seeing text on screen without blinking an eyelid, let alone a complaint. #inclusion @PWDAustralia
