A heartfelt plea to accept Larundel's past
17 January 2012

“It was like a safe, family environment for clients...The patients felt safe, felt accepted, rather than out in the community where there was a stigma. It was terrible. There was a bit of them and us. (People with mental illness) were (considered) dangerous, were people to not be near.”

HACSU members Pam Wrigley and Rosemary Lalor talk about their time working at Larundel in this video by the Whittlesea Leader.
