GOOD TALK

GOOD TALK GOOD TALK is a nonprofit organisation established to raise awareness and funds for Bi-Polar research. Bi-Polar Disorder affects one in seventy Australians.

GOOD TALK is named in memory of our son/brother/mate Graeme "Reidy" Reid who lost his life to Suicide after years of struggling with Bi-Polar Disorder. We chose GOOD TALK for the name of the foundation as this phrase was one of Graeme's favourites which he injected into most conversations. This condition causes extreme mood swings varying from chaotic exuberance of mania to severe depression. Our aim is to raise funds for Bi-Polar research. All monies raised will be donated to the Bipolar Disorders Unit at the School of Psychiatry of University of New South Wales research program "Bi-Polar Kids and Sibs" run by Professor Philip Mitchell, Director Bi-Polar Disorders Clinic.

A huge thank you to Marlee for MC’ing the night — you’re beautiful inside and out, and we truly couldn’t have done it without you. To our Auctioneer for creating an amazing atmosphere. To our incredible speakers Jarrod and Latrell, your honesty and courage set the tone for the evening — thank you for sharing your stories and making the trip to be with us.

To our sponsors, thank you for believing in what we do — nights like these aren’t possible without your generosity and support.

To our Good Talk committee and Gala Ball committee — your dedication and passion mean the world to us. You show up time and time again, and we’re so grateful to have such an amazing team by our side.

And finally, to Graeme — we wish you were here. It’s an honour to continue sharing your story, in the hope that others never have to feel what you did. We miss you, we love you, and we’ll keep saying your name and carrying your legacy, always 🤍
