Pieces of the Mind.
Shining light on mental health in the bush and hearing stories from different people in the rural area. “Pieces of the mind” is here to bring stories to life and is created so stories don’t go untold. I want this podcast to bring a positive community together one I feel the bush will most definitely benefit from.
Pieces of the Mind.

Ella Kolomyjec is the guest on episode 2 of season 3.
Ella has used her mental health struggles as a "silver lining" in order to share her knowledge and passion for mental health across Australia. 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.”
