I had the pleasure of scribing at the One Door Mental Health Symposium 2019 in Sydney. It was a gathering of professionals and academics in the field, to share the latest in treatments and methods, as well as to present and hear first-hand stories of patients and carers. There was a palpable mood and appetite for change at a systemic level, and this comes out in various ways in the sketchnotes I did.

I did each talk on separate A0 300gsm boards, and pinned them up on the side wall throughout the day as a gallery for everyone to review and reflect on.
