"Dear Fay, It was a real honour to have you (Fay) as our guest speaker at our recent staff forum Refresh, Renew, Reframe. Your performance was nothing short of brilliant and all present found you to be extraordinarily funny and entertaining. You showed an outstanding ability to humanise your experiences as a consumer in such a delight.
I sincerely want to thank you on behalf of the Registrar, Leith and Cindy and I in Wellness Matters, and our QUT Managers and staff who attended your workshop and keynote presentations last week on Monday September 2 nd .
I consider us extremely fortunate to have been able to have you visit given your busy schedule. To be able to share the stories and insights and experience you offered was such a leap for us in this program area. It was such an important opportunity for our University to gain better understanding of the challenges of living with a mental health condition, working and functioning with an illness and medications and the unpredictability of managing complex health issues. As you rightly pointed out the comorbidities and side effects of medications conspire to reduce the life expectancy by at least 15-25 years which is a confronting statistic.
It was extremely important for our staff and community to see you ( including the live stream to Caboolture campus), listen to you and feel emotions to help us all challenge existing biases, beliefs and misconceptions and to encourage us all to be more supportive for anyone who may be living with a mental health condition. I loved your comment “out past Hay…. It's a hole!....not like Caboolture!” loved it and laughed with you too.
Fay I hope your personal health is buoyant and that you can set a sustainable pace for yourself to be able to continue your excellent work and fulfil your dreams and goals. You truly are a very special person.
Warmest regards

The World Health Organization predicts that by
the year 2020 mental health will be the leading cause of disability
and the second leading cause of death in first world countries. with
1 in 4 people in any 12 month period experiencing a mental health
issue it is estimated that 50% of people, over the course of their
life time, will suffer from short or long term mental illness. With
this in mind it is impossible for workplaces, educational
