The role of social identity in the MATES in Construction suicide prevention program. In this study we look at how social identity, mateship and live experience impact volunteering in the MATES program.

The MHLEPQ is calling for the elimination of seclusion and restraint in the Queensland mental health system. Seclusion and restraint is both a failure of care and limiting basic human rights of consumers.

@MikeCarlton01 My dream is to pay $1M in tax at the top marginal rate one year. I would feel I really contributed to society then.

RT @fllsaw: @sspencerthomas @GullestrupJ

It is fundamentally right but it is something we have been talking about for 15 years and it requires the clinician to give up some power in the relationship and that is hard to come by in a risk focused system.

@Fabion1992 @9NewsAUS Perhaps the point was that it almost never happens in Australia?

@Fabion1992 @9NewsAUS Well if workers are treated really bad then there is even more reason for workers looking after each other. MATES is workers looking after each other - not really able to deal with the employers that is perhaps more of the Unions role?

@MHResearchUniSA Wow it will be fun!
