Show Notes

Every year we get to shine a light on mental health for Qld Mental Health week - a time to raise awareness, find belonging and stay connected.  At Carers Queensland, we support people with disability, their carers and family to connect with local community groups and support, promoting greater access to social and recreational community activities. In this episode, we hear from two NDIS participants who have kindly shared their experience of living with mental health and how the NDIS has changed their lives for the better.
