The NATIONAL CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN MENTAL HEALTH wishes to announce the launch of a new human rights outreach service that we will be providing. On the first Wednesday of each month we will be running a human rights outreach service at the Southport Community Legal Centre. The human rights outreach service will run from 7 to 9 pm. It is located at: LIARDET COMMUNITY CENTRE Port Melbourne on the corner of Liardet and Nott Street. You can get FREE advice and assistance on any human rights issue regarding your mental health at this service. Everything from: assistance in dealing with psychiatrists, the State Trustees, psychiatric hospitals; advice and assistance on housing, education and employment issues; advice and advocacy if you feel you have been discriminated against because of your mental health to just finding out more about what your rights are. All you need to do is call the National Centre for Human Rights in Mental Health on 9689 5075 to make an appointment for the night service. On a final note the Centre would like to personally thank the many people who came to our fundraiser late last year. It was a great success, exceeding even our own expectations and we thank those who came for their support. For those who could not make it, do not worry, we will be having a year full of activities and programs that will be open to the whole community. We look forward to making 1999 the year of Human Rights in Mental Health and welcome anyone who is committed to promoting and protecting human rights to contact our centre and get involved.
