Welcome. Community groups are frustrated at the lack of action to ease the plight of people with mental health problems. About 20 years ago, most of our long term mental institutions were closed and people were released into the community in the name of human rights and personal autonomy. Inadequate provision was made for their accommodation and care. Now we see the results – premature discharge from hospital, homelessness, the struggle to manage their money and medication. So much for human rights. Voluntary associations and families do their best but it’s time for more heart and more help from authorities to the problems visible in our streets day and night. God’s peace be with you. I’m Barry Hickey, Catholic Archbishop of Perth. 6pm, Sunday 20 November 2005 - Mental Health

I
believe that God’s love burns deep inside all of us. For
those who choose not to invite God into their lives, the flames
may flicker – but they still exist. These messages may be
just “the spark that ignites the flames of faith
for someone”...
