A Perth based author along with a lovely being she will talk to us all about her experience with mental health the hospital systems and Edition 2 of the Forth Magazine. 

This is a monologue written by Ella: 

“Earlier this year I began working on an idea of mine that at the time appeared nothing more than
a dream.
During three years of psychiatric hospitalization for PTSD and depression, I dreamed of many
things that I couldn't seem to find whilst battling my way to find normality and recovery. I
experienced a number of gaps in our society and in our healthcare system - the accessibility and
affordability of multidisciplinary treatment, lack of transitional treatment post-crisis care or
hospitalization and a lack of exposure to the practical life-skills of impatient therapy. These came
closely tied to an endless stream of failures, in a society where mental illness was and continues to
rapidly devastate the lives of so many individuals and families.
Once a dream for recovery, this blossomed into a dream to make change.”
