In this episode young people Joy (she/her) and Tianna (they/them) continue their conversation about their mental health journeys as young adults and how they have developed their mental health literacy through lived experience with the mental health systems in Australia. They also discuss how their newfound autonomy in their young adulthood has allowed them to unlearn childhood misconceptions about living with mental illness.
