  • MENTAL HEALTH

The history of old age mental health and dementia care in Australia and New Zealand is largely an untold story. Major changes in service delivery occurred in both countries that largely started in the 1980s. To capture the oral history about these and later developments in Australia, Brian Draper interviewed many of the key individuals who were instrumental in the changes that occurred. Aged care is a multidisciplinary field and so the interviews include psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, geriatricians and an occupational therapist.Disclaimer:This podcast is provided to you for information purposes only and to provide a broad public understanding of various mental health topics.
