Sydney: Transcultural Mental Health Centre, 2006. Design & typeset by: www.loveitdesign.com.au Printed by: Salmat Print on Demand FOREWORD The 2005 Young Writers’ Competition Through My Eyes provided young writers an opportunity to creatively express their concerns, thoughts, feelings and experiences about issues that directly impact young people living in a multicultural society. The competition was open to all young people, not only those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. In this way, the competition challenges all people to think about the effects of mental health and cultural diversity on families and young people in Australia. An initiative of the Transcultural Mental Health Centre, the competition has blossomed into an inter-agency project with Mental Illness Education - Australia and the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW. Between them these three agencies offer information, mental illness resources, multilingual resources and school education programs in NSW. From across NSW 365 young people, aged between 12 and 19 years, entered this year’s Writing Competition with the overall theme of “Young People Coping with Difficult Times”. Entrants were asked to write on one of two topics: 1. Write about a young person (could be yourself) coping with mental health problems either personally, in their families or with their friends. 2. Write about the experiences of a young person from a non-English- speaking background who is living in difficult times, either in Australia or overseas. Coordinated by the Transcultural Mental Health Centre [www.dhi.gov.au/tmhc] together with Schizophrenia Fellowship [www.sfnsw.org.au] and Mental Illness Education Australia [www.miea.org.au] 3 TRANSCULTURAL MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE Transcultural Mental Health Centre (TMHC) is an acknowledged leader in transcultural mental health promotion, publication and resource development, clinical service development, and education and training. TMHC is a statewide service that promotes access to mental health services for people of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. The centre recognises the significance of cultural and linguistic difference in mental health issues and uses a whole-of-lifespan approach, involving work with children, adolescents, families, adults and older people. MIE-A (NSW) OVERVIEW MIE-A (NSW) is an award-winning, not-for-profit organisation whose principal objective is the implementation of a mental health awareness presentation, INSIGHT, which aims to encourage an awareness of mental health issues and to promote better understanding, particularly amongst young people, about mental health in relation to increasing mental health literacy and resilience including the ability to recognise specific disorders, know where to seek information, treatment and support, identify risk factors and causes, dispel the stigma which so often slows down recovery or prevents early help-seeking. The INSIGHT presentation is conducted by trained presenters who have personal experience of mental health problems and disorders, either themselves or as a family member, friend or carer. The presenters’ personal experience is incorporated throughout the presentation, which encourages participation using activities such as role-play, discussion and brainstorming. The INSIGHT presentation is supported by the NSW Health Department, NSW Department of Education and Training’s Student Services and Equity Program and the Catholic Education Commission’s Student Welfare Program. 4 SCHIZOPHRENIA FELLOWSHIP OF NSW INC Schizophrenia Fellowship is an established and well-respected mental illness charity with the vision of “A society in which people with mental illness are valued and treated as equals”. The Fellowship pursues that vision through advocacy for better funding and services, education and awareness raising across the community and the provision of innovative services for people with mental illness and their families. Education and training are provided through the Fellowship’s Remind Program which provides trained consumer (people with a mental illness) and carer speakers to schools, universities and other organisations. The speaker program is complimented by a School Education Kit containing lesson plans and information for teachers and teacher in-service training. THANK YOU The coordinators greatly appreciate the time and support offered by staff from schools, TAFE colleges and youth welfare organisations in promoting the competition and encouraging their young people to enter. They would also like to extend a special thanks to the members of the judging panel for the time and effort they devoted to reading the entries and for the difficult decisions they had to make.
