Speech – How living with mental illness teaches us about making a difference
Amanda Tattersall gives a speech reflecting on how living with mental illness teaches us about how to make a difference
On the Winter Solstice in 2025 Amanda spoke at an event in Albury held to raise awareness about Mental Illness and Suicide. She shared about her story of living with bipolar and some of the lessons it has generated about how we make a difference.
In this podcast we replay that speech.
