Humanising Mental Health: A Human Library Event



Youth mental health affects 40% of young Australians aged 16 to 24. It's time to shine a light on youth mental health.

That’s why Azure Beach Library is organising a human library event on 14th October 2023 in partnership with Mental Health Month.


What is a Human Library?

The human library is a way to challenge stereotypes and prejudices by having conversations with real people. You can borrow a "human book" for 15 minutes and listen to their personal story.

Our human books are volunteers who have experienced different aspects of youth mental health. The titles of the "Human Books" are:
 
 

Matthew D.

Bullied: How I survived and thrived

Debbie L.

Depression: My journey to recovery

Cain D.

Alcohol Addiction: Breaking the cycle

Greg B.

Young and Homeless: Finding hope and support

Kevin R.

Refugee: Living in a foreign world

Date: 14th October, 2023
Venue: Azure Beach Library courtyard
Time: 1:30 – 4:30pm
