Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation morning tea - Charity Committee

DMAW Lawyers recently had the pleasure of welcoming John Mannion, CEO of South Australian not-for-profit organisation Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation (Breakthrough).

John joined us for morning tea and spoke about the invaluable work Breakthrough are doing to transform the lives of those affected by mental health issues.​

John spoke passionately about the research they are doing at the foundation with the impressive goal of "curing mental health". He also explained in detail about various projects Breakthrough fund to further research mental health and to help people at all ages to understand, work through and survive their mental health issues.

DMAW Lawyers would like to thank John for taking the time out of his day to speak to us and for helping us understand more about the important work Breakthrough are doing to support those struggling with mental health issues in our community.
