Our biggest obstacle to mental health is something we can change together

This is the full-text of a speech I gave to a Workshop on Mental Health and Neurodiversity held by the Sydney Alliance. The Sydney Alliance has been on a remarkable journey, and is now committed to lead change on the public dimensions of mental health (for more on that journey see a speech I gave in December 2019).

When I started the Sydney Alliance I faced a conundrum. The reason why I was working so hard to set the Alliance up was too secret to share.
