We are proud to announce a week-long conference produced in partnership with Humane Clinic this coming April in Adelaide, South Australia. Re-Awaken Australia brings together change-makers in the fields of mental health, trauma, and addiction, in order to build community and organize meaningful social action. The conference materialized from Healing Voices social impact in South Australia, thanks in large part to the tireless work of our friends and colleagues Matt Ball and Stephanie Mitchell.
