Tell No One

Brendan Watkins

2023

In Tell No One One, Brendan Journey traces his footsteps in discovering his birth parents
Brendan was 8 when he was told he was adopted (he grew up in Melbourne) – which made sense for him of why no one in his family looked alike.

In his 20s, Brendan began seeking out his birth parents. He was surprised to find out that his birth mother was 27 when she ‘gave him up’.

It took until 2018 before Brendan found out – via a DNA test – that he was “the son of a celebrated missionary priest.”

Tell No One includes Brendan’s research on ‘children of priests’.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
