Hi @chibam 
How are you doing?

Our friends problem is a bit of a worry to me but I will give it my best effort and do whatever can be done. It was a bit daunting visiting her at the same place they tried to lock me up in only about 18 months ago. The place is run like a prison. Some of the stuff going on in this country is horrific, unjustifiable and unreasonable. It helps nobody and results in a waste of public money by a handful of bureaucrats intent on building and maintaining their empire of oppression.

I haven't been active in the Sane forum for quite a while since the fiasco with the administration over their audit and my attempts to be helpful (LOL). I was pretty upset at the time by what they said to me but now it all seems like a sick joke by people who like to shoot themselves in the foot.

I have been pretty busy with our main project these days to try and establish Soteria Houses in Australia as an alternative and much kinder, better and more effective option for young people with serious mental health issues than hospitalisation, physical restraint and drugging. 

We are slowly worming our way into the upper echelons of  the federal government in Canberra. Who knows how successful we will be but we are certainly giving it our best shot.

If you ever feel like a bit of a political challenge in mental health reform we could certainly do with a bit of help from a good mind like yours.

Regards

Willy
