Great reflections from @alisonbarrett for 2022.

Twitter (may she rest in peace) is increasingly losing its place as an important public square. I've been trying move towards Mastodon, but I've found that there isn't much Australian policy, and in particular mental health policy, discussed on there (that I can see).

If you're interested, I've created a sheet so you can add new Mastodon handle to it if you want to have discussions on mental health. It means others can follow you too, so add yourself if you're
interested!

I would dearly love to have more mental health policy convos on Mastodon.
