[VIDEO] Coorparoo | This Organisation is Beating Mental Illness One Step at a Time

By Chelsea Keim // Place Coorparoo

Talking about mental illness is a challenging process, but an incredibly important one, particularly for those who are suffering.

It’s crucial to find the right people to connect with to provide support and beneficial options.

Luckily, places like Stepping Stone Coorparoo are built to nurture people suffering with a mental illness.

We sat down with Jaimi Rogers  to find out what Stepping Stone is all about.

Can you tell us a little about what Stepping Stone is?

Stepping Stone is a member based community organisation that successfully addresses the serious impact of mental illness.  We are a community of people dedicated to one another’s recovery.

Focusing on strengths rather than illness, our members are given the opportunities to re-join the worlds of friendships, family, important work, employment, education, safe and affordable housing,  social recreation, and access to the services and supports they may individually need.

Matthew Palmer, a member of Stepping Stone Coorparoo, tells us how Stepping Stone has helped him deal with a mental illness.
