Schizophrenia Awareness Week (SAW), 15-21 May, aims to raise community awareness of schizophrenia and addresses the stigma attached to schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Schizophrenia is a major mental illness that causes an altered experience of reality.                                    

“In Australia, approximately 1 in 100 people have or will develop schizophrenia during their lifetime and it is usually life-long.”

Here is an opportunity to get involved this May by:

• Volunteering with the foundation
• Organising a fundraiser
• Raising awareness on social media
• Informing family and friends of the symptoms
• Donating
