July, 2008                 a web newsletter for psych cønsumers in Australia


The newsletter will be published less frequently this year.  

Stats released this month by AIHW showed that emergency departments of general hospitals are seeing 10% more people with m/h issues this year.  Dr Travis ( AMA Vic. president ) has said that these services are not prepared for psychiatric patients, however few alternative options exist even in community care. Overall , the numbers of psych. nurses and full-time psychiatrists continues to decrease in the Victorian health sector; a bad combination.

This *aussie cønsumer newsletter* is always looking for people to help and contribute consumer material.If you want to offer help, please contact us .

 

'How did I get into the world? Why was I not asked about it and why was I not informed of the rules and regulations but just thrust into the ranks as if I had been bought by a peddling shanghaier of human beings? How did I get involved in this big enterprise called actuality? Why should I be involved? Isn't it a matter of choice? And if I am compelled to be involved, where is the manager—I have something to say about this. Is there no manager? To whom shall I make my complaint? '   ..................  S.Kierkegaard

Across the world, the cønsumer movement is gathering momentum as users of psych. health services recognise their own wisdom and resources. "an aussie cønsumer newsletter" is published by cønsumers for cønsumers Down Under. This Internet newsletter assists cønsumers to keep in touch across Australia and attempt to present their perspective on current events.

The editorial team is based in Melbourne. We intended to publish a new issue regularly. Printed copies are available by subscription ... ask us.

We are independent of any cønsumer group or service provider. This newsletter is an un-funded enterprise. If you as a cønsumer can help us or suggest improvements, we need you. Watch this space: we collect cønsumer stories and material.
