Linda Lavarch (Lawyer and former Member of Parliament)

While serving as Queensland’s Attorney-General, Linda was diagnosed with depression, a condition she hadn’t recognised in herself at the time.

Linda’s message is one of compassion for ourselves and for others as we work to break down the stigma around mental health.
