    World Schizophrenia Awareness Week 2022 24 May 2022 Schizophrenia is a mental illness that causes people to experience reality in a different way.

On any given day, the volunteers at Graylands might be working in the second-hand apparel store hanging and ironing clothes, serving drinks from the kiosk, giving out birthday presents to patients, providing welcome and discharge packs and even collecting bottles and cans to support the hospital’s Containers for Change program. This work has been more crucial than ever during C...
