Living Library aims to help the community understand the lived experience of mental illness, tackle stigma and normalise getting help.
At Living Library events instead of borrowing a book, a story is borrowed through a speaker. Speakers talk to and take questions from an audience about their connection to mental health and wellbeing. This could be the lived experience of mental illness, being a carer for family members with mental illness or professional expertise in the mental health sector.
Living Library 2020
The Living Library will happen again on Wednesday 14 October 2020 via a digital platform.
We are looking for speakers to share their stories of resilience through life’s challenges. We are keen to hear from young people, older people, LGBTIQA+, refugee, and migrant communities. For a list of previous Living Library speakers, click here.
