LETTERS OF SUPPORT

JOEL WERNER - Executive Producer of the original ABC No Feeling Is Final podcast series

Joel Werner Support Letter (click here)

“Honor brings a unique voice to the mental health arena – she tells stories of complex mental illness in a way that is engaging, unexpected, provocative, and moving. Occasionally deeply, darkly funny. And, most importantly, relatable – especially for people dealing with their own mental health concerns. Honor embraces production innovation, and is unflappable, even when deadlines and production cycle pressures loom large.”

PROFESSOR PATRICK MCGORRY AO - Australian of the Year and Mental Health Advocate

Prof Patrick McGorry Support Letter (click here)

“Honor has maintained and established herself as a unique creative voice, using her art to speak to the heart of the mental health systems failings, and the very real human fall-out of a broken system.

I unequivocally support Honor’s grant application and believe in the positive impact of Honor’s creative work to be part of the cacophony of voices calling for change. I hope this new version of her incredible performance will be able to be seen by many more Australians who need it.”
