23.01.2022 Ok this going to be a bit of a long winded rant but I need to get the message across. Maybe if people's heads weren't buried in the sand of ignorance and they took the time to understand, instead of judging and thinking it won't happen to them because they have the perfect family, life would be that bit easier for people that do experience this! This hits close to home for me, for family and friends who live under this shadow. The days of 'it' not being talked about or being ...taboo should be over. Yes, it's sadly true that there are those who milk the system and even sadder that there are those who don't know just how much help is available out there for them. In the most difficult moments of life you realise who your true friends are, and the people who really appreciate you. Unfortunately, most social media 'friends' aren't true friends. They will send you a "like" here and there, but in reality they do not take time to read your status if they see it's lengthy. More than half will stop reading right here, or have already scrolled on to the next post on their page. I decided to post this message in support of all those who continue to battle with their mental illness. Now, let's see who will have taken the time to read this lengthy post right through to the end. If you have read everything so far, please "like" it so that I can put a thank you on your page. More mental health awareness is urgently needed. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean people aren't suffering. Please, try to spare a little of your time with someone who may just want to talk (about anything). Talking can help us all to cope a little more, keeping things bottled up just makes it worse. Most people will say, "if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, I'll be there to help you" but will they? I believe a select few of my friends will post this, to show their support for those who may be struggling. You just have to copy and paste rather than sharing. I'd like to know who will take a minute out of their day to read this all the way to the end and then copy and paste it to their page, will you? I will make time for you, just like you make time for me. we can talk any time you want, about anything you want, I don't need to know any more than you are comfortable saying, I just need to know that you are ok. #strongertogether See more

16.01.2022 Today 26/1/2021, I am very proud to announce that since the award of the first Ian Parker Bipolar Research PhD Scholarship towards bipolar research to recipient Emma Gliddon, second award to Melanie Ashton and third award to Lisa Furlong, we have collectively raised adequate funding to pay for a fourth scholarship to a worthy phd recipient. Further details will be announced once the advertising rounds of scholarships (through Australian Rotary Health) are prepared. I extend... my sincere gratitude towards all whom have helped so generously over the past 13 years to support the IPBRF bipolar research campaign by contributing continuous donations and for the wonderful support of my many beautiful and dedicated volunteers and the IMPACT team of Deakin University Geelong, the Rotary Club of Colac West and all of the other wider community of very generous folks.
