NSW Health Director of Mental Health David McGrath said Schizophrenia Awareness Week is part of an overall commitment to improve the lives of people living with schizophrenia.
“We are committed to providing easy and supportive access to treatment and services for people with schizophrenia,” Mr McGrath said.
“We’ve invested significant levels of funding to support the Schizophrenia Research Institute drive a proactive research agenda to prevent and cure schizophrenia.”
NSW Health provides funds to the Schizophrenia Research Institute to support world renowned schizophrenia research led by Professor Cyndi Shannon-Weickert.
“Professor Shannon-Weickert’s research focuses on the developmental biology of schizophrenia, including clinical trials examining whether the use of hormone therapy can improve outcomes for people with schizophrenia,” said Mr McGrath.
