The Australian Association of Mental Health Practitioners (AAMHP) is marking International Literacy Day by calling for a broader understanding of literacy as an issue of dignity, participation, health and psychological wellbeing.

Today, on International Literacy Day, the Vocational Mental Health Practitioners Association of Australia (VMHPAA) celebrates the transformative power of literacy, not only as an educational right, but as a cornerstone of mental wellbeing, self-empowerment, and community connection.
