In Memory of Michael Appleton

Dear all, It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Michael Appleton, a valued mental health consumer representative and dedicated volunteer with North Shore Ryde Mental Health Service (NSRMHS). Michael passed away on Boxing Day. Michael's preparedness to share his lived experience, tireless advocacy, and unwavering commitment to improving mental health services have touched countless lives. Michael's voice, compassion, and insights over many years has helped shape meaningful conversations leading to change and he has very much inspired those around him. We are profoundly grateful for Michael's decades of service, generosity of spirit, and the legacy he leaves behind. Michael will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know and work alongside him. We plan to hold a memorial service for Michael in the new year to honour his very special contribution to NSRMHS and beyond. Our thoughts are very much with Paula and all of Michael's loved ones.
