The objectives of Real Talk are to empower people to claim and tell their own story and to excavate and amplify counter-narratives to the stigmatising ones that circulate in society. Lily Asch, founder of Real Talk, will share the story that started it all. Alette Willis, storyteller in residence and School of Health lecturer will discuss the impact of the project on mental health in the community.
