Read the SHLEAC Vision and Purpose Statement.
Background
SHLEAC was established in 2021 to influence, guide and co-design mental health reform towards a more holistic compassionate person-centred model of care where spirituality and spiritual care are embedded in service delivery models.
Since then, SHLEAC have worked solidly with SHA's Mental Health Leader to announce themselves to the mental health reform space.
Between July 2021 - June 2022, the four founding members, Evan Bichara, Maria Dimopoulos, Kevin Treloar and Hannah Friebel contributed in the following ways:
- shared their individual stories in the SHA e-news
- presented to members of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Branch of the Victorian Department of Health
- established the Spiritual Health Lived Experience Network, a community of people who identify as having lived or living experience as a consumer or carer to collaborate with SHLEAC and SHA in our advocacy work.
