Stability In Mind
Feb 06, 2018
Neil Cole, Author: ‘Stability In Mind’ ‘This memoir is the story of the first politician in Australia to publicly admit to having a mental illness - bipolar mood disorder. Neil Cole was a lawyer, a Melbourne City Councillor and a Member of the Victorian Parliament. After only five years in parliament he was diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder and put onto lithium. The revelation, the cathartic experience of this diagnosis changed his life forever. Having lived with the unpleasantness of the illness, the lack of diagnosis over a period of seventeen years since he first sought treatment, and the onset of the illness, made it difficult to adjust Finally, whether it is his early life, school, university, family upbringing, politics or the stage it is all interesting, novel, lots of humour, pathos, and revelation about living with a mental illness. The memoir will offer hope and an explanation of how to live with bipolar mood disorder’. Neil's current play is: 'Nina Simone; Liberian Days. At : Prahran's 'Chapel Off Chapel' Chair: Henry Drury

Purple Cloak
May 08, 2018
Matt Maudlin has created a new housing concept for folks living in rooming houses. He writes: 'Many people find themselves in rooming houses through a series of unfortunate events. Such people are able to live independently within the community .... with a little bit of community support. We will operate The Purple Cloak projects. This housing venture is completely dependent upon the community getting behind it; we are NOT seeking any levels of Government support. My belief is that an issue as hideous as homelessness will only end when we as a community stand up and say 'enough!' Chair: Charlotte England |
