We are the collective voice for Queenslanders with lived experience of mental ill-health and distress

During Mental Health Week, the Rise team spent time connecting with community, listening to lived and living experience, and sharing conversations about mental health and wellbeing.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their perspectives and helped create space for meaningful conversations.🧡

We had a wonderful time at the Queensland Mental Health Awards and are so honoured to take home the Community Wellbeing Award!

This recognition belongs to our members, our team and everyone who shares their lived and living experience to help shape a more inclusive, connected and rights-based future. Thank you for being part of Rise and making this work possible.

A huge congratulations to all the finalists and winners. Sharing a room with so many people doing meaningful work across Queensland was a celebration in itself. ✨

We’re feeling grateful, a little chuffed, and more motivated than ever to keep rising together.🧡

Human rights belong at the heart of mental health care. 🧡

Hear from our CEO Simon Katterl as he discusses human rights on our Neuroleptic Harm Project Panel.

❗Neuroleptic medications, also known as antipsychotics, can be a game changer for some people. For others, they can bring significant side effects that affect everyday life.

Our Neuroleptic Harm Project explores both the positive and negative effects of these medications, supporting informed conversations between the person prescribed them and their treating professional, as well as carers, friends, family and kin they choose to involve.

Because everyone deserves clear information, the opportunity to ask questions, and a meaningful say in decisions about their care.

👀Stay tuned for the full video and join the conversation about rights, choice and lived experience.

New name. Same organisation. Same purpose. 🧡

You may have noticed some changes around here. MHLEPQ is now Rise: Queensland’s Mental Health Lived Experience Peak.🎉

So, what’s changed? And what hasn’t?

Our name, brand, website, email addresses and social media identity have changed as we step into a new chapter.

But the organisation behind Rise remains the same. Our people, purpose, values, membership and commitment to lived experience-led systems advocacy continue.🧡
