Gary Fleder ( Kiss the Girls) is directing the picture. ![]() Governments and the mental health sector committing to restorative justice and apologising will help us find our way, together.Michael Douglas stars Stax here with my reaction to the screenplay for Don¿t Say a Word! This 132-page November 22nd, 2000 rewrite by Patrick Smith Kelly ( A Perfect Murder) is an adaptation of the 1992 award-winning novel by screenwriter-author Andrew Klavan ( A Shock to the System). It’s because we don’t know where we’ve come from and where we are. In Victoria, we had a royal commission into our mental health system. People may identify as being in multiple of these groups, and therefore could participate in both. Therefore in both recommendations we recommend that the restorative justice process and apologies are dealt with separately, starting with consumers and survivors. We are conscious of the different experiences and types of harm that consumers and survivors, and families, carers and supporters experience. This will, for some, provide closure, as well as a commitment to a better future. Our second recommendation is that following the restorative justice process, the Victorian government, with an invitation to the mental health sector, apologises to people with lived experience. As we note in our report, where governments fail to lead, communities establish their own community-based processes, such as the Morecambe Bay Poverty Truth Commission. But other agencies or states and territories may take the lead harm is not contained to Victoria. It would eventually produce a report that is provided to parliament. We recommend this process is undertaken by the forthcoming Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission. There, we can solve the problem – in this case harm from the mental health system – together, while centring the focus, decision-making and expertise on those with lived experience. Restorative justice takes “the problem” and brings it back to the community, where it belongs. Often policies, laws and problems become “owned” by professions or bureaucrats. We recommend that the Victorian government establish a restorative justice process, where those harmed by the mental health system are able to safely share their experiences, and where possible have responses from the government and sector. It is about coming together to acknowledge harm, so that we can provide opportunities for voice and where possible repair. Not Before Time isn’t about vilifying governments or the mental health sector. But I am considered incapable of making decisions about my treatment, and I am strapped to a bed.” Another co-author said in the report that the system transforms people into “things”, and that “you can easily do things to things”. We draw on evidence from one person who said: “I can sign a contract. In our full report we detail harms, including how people stop being people when they enter the mental health system. Without being clear about these harms, we are bound to repeat them. This harm doesn’t just stem from underfunding, it grows out of systems that were not designed by the people who use them. There is unresolved harm that sits at the heart of the mental health system. In fact, we have heard it is resonating with other country members at the UN. That is why the recent launch of the Not Before Time: Lived Experience-Led Justice and Repair report has resonated with so many Australians. When the system neglects or encroaches on people’s lives, it is often families who bear witness to trauma or bear it themselves. Speaking to the Guardian, Lorna Downes, one of the co-authors of a report commissioned by the state’s health department, highlighted the impacts of being rendered invisible to the system. Often lost in discussion of harm are families, carers and supporters. ![]()
