New Mental Health Commissioner for SA

Minister Wade today appointed Mr John Mannion as one of the Mental Health Commissioners for South Australia. Mr John Mannion replaces Professor Sharon Lawn who resigned in April 2021 due to personal commitments.
Minister Wade said that in seeking a replacement Mental Health Commissioner a leader with a sound knowledge of South Australia's mental health system, expertise in community mental health services and proven experience in community resilience strategies to improve mental health and wellbeing was sought. Mr Mannion is a registered mental health nurse and has worked in acute and community mental health services in the United Kingdom and Australia and led the establishment of the Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation in 2018.

OUR VISION
“The Commissioners 20-year vision is that South Australia is internationally recognised as a resilient, compassionate and connected community that takes a whole-of-person, whole-of-life, whole-of-government and whole-of-community approach to building, sustaining and strengthening the mental health and wellbeing of South Australians in order to grow the state’s mental wealth.”
It has been another year of significant challenge and change and it can be easy to become focused on all the things that have not gone the way we wanted or how tired we are of it all.
Changing mindset is not easy but is possible. Turning focus to the silver linings, things you valued, moments that made you smile, is a strategy that can help us see that despite how hard it gets there is often something to be grateful for.
Heather, John and David have each reflected on what they are grateful for this year. Let us know in the comments below what you are grateful for.
