You are invited to join Rotary Club Geelong West for a special event featuring Professor Michael Berk, exploring mental health research, and the link mental health has to family and domestic violence.
Professor Michael Berk is driven by curiosity and a fierce commitment to improve global understanding and treatment of mental health disorders. He is a world authority in psychiatry research, and in 2019 he received Victoria’s highest scientific honour, the Victoria Prize for Science and Innovation. His findings have influenced treatment strategies around the globe.
The Geelong Community Foundation will also provide information based on their Vital Signs report which explores where Rotary Clubs could best target their support. Proceeds from this evening will be donated to Read the Play, a local organisation working with young people through sports clubs aiming to build resilience in young people.
