World Bipolar Day - Nicci Wall

Wednesday, 5 April 2017 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

World Bipolar Day was celebrated last week on Thursday the 30th of March. To honour the day, Brainwaves spoke to Nicci Wall of This Is My Reality on her lived experience of bipolar disorder. We talk about some of the turning points in Nicci's recovery, the damaging stigmatisation of the disorder, and how advocacy has helped shape her view of the world.

For more information, please visit Bipolar Life Victoria or Nicci's website www.thisismyreality.com.au.

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
