I help leaders turn people into activists | Movement Building Strategist | AAPC 40 Under 40
Here it is. The #1 mistake I see advocacy organizations make on a regular basis. ➡️ Failing to claim victory! Often, leaders and communicators are so understandably exhausted after they win a legislative battle, pass a ballot measure, win in court, meet a milestone, or dominate an election that they take a break and immediately gear up for the next fight. They forget that it's VITAL to publicly reflect on the good work your team and supporters have done so far! When your goal is large-scale, world-bettering systemic change, there are going to be setbacks. That's why it's crucial to celebrate, express gratitude, and claim victory at every opportunity. 🔥 THIS is how you continuously demonstrate your value to donors and supporters. 🔥 THIS is how you keep hope alive when things get hard. If you want to build a resilient movement, celebrate, express gratitude, and claim victory loudly and publicly as often as you possibly can.

It was an honour to represent Qld mental health consumers at the announcement of the National Mental Health Consumer Alliance by the Assistant Minister for Mental Health, Emma McBride. This is a significant milestone for mental health consumers in Australia, where the voice of consumers will be strengthened by national representation championing human rights, social justice and systemic change. Approximately 42.9% of Australians aged 16-85 experienced a mental disorder in their lifetime (ABS 2022). This equates to roughly 11.8 million people. As a consumer, it is so important that our healthcare environment empowers you to make your own choices and take control of your own recovery. The evidence shows fostering autonomy and shared decision-making in mental health therapy leads to improved outcomes. Consumer autonomy and respect for consumer control over care and recovery processes is essential across our health ecosystem at all times. I know from my own experience as a consumer, carer and working in mental health service delivery that you are the master of your own recovery. The National Mental Health Consumer Alliance works hard advocating for your right to consumer-led mental healthcare delivery to ensure people with lived experience have a strong voice in shaping mental health services. Become a member of your state consumer peak organisation to be heard and become involved in shared growth and learning opportunities that help contribute to positive change.

So pleased that Janet Meagher AM, Fay Jackson BCVA, Dip.Ed, EBE, GAICD, Michael Burge AM OAM and Victorina (Vicki) McKenna could join the Alliance for the announcement of the National Consumer Peak yesterday. The announcement as important as it was, is not an end point. It is the start of nationally focused, consumer driven advocacy for the policy direction, supports and services we want and not what others decide for us.
