After five years at the helm, Heidi Prowse has announced she is leaving Mental Illness Education ACT, handing over the reins to Brad Shrimpton, who has worked for both the University of Melbourne and International Baccalaureate, his expertise in investigating whether programs and systems actually work.
Dr Shrimpton said one of his big goals for the organisation was taking to the rest of Australia, and even the world, MEIACT's techniques of teaching people and students about mental health through the process of volunteers sharing their real-life experiences.
