Read Dr Westerman's editorial. 'There are actually two tragedies here; the continued loss of the beautiful young lives through suicide, and secondly, that all efforts to fund an adequate response capable of applying the science of what prevents suicide have failed' #Artsinhealth

This web-app would be great for regional communities as well #NDIS #Disabilityinthebush

[Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet @HealthInfoNet]

Disability in the Bush is a web-app all about helping connect people in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with information about @NDIS. It's culturally relevant information provided in different languages.

I found this very insightful - but I also think a lot of healing can occur, if you situate yourself in the present; particularly with a paintbrush 🎨 or riverside💦 #artsinhealth #regionalarts

A client revelation 2day❤️

“Trauma keeps u trapped in the past; looking backwards rather than forwards; trying 2 make sense of why, how & what happened rather than what is possible. Your future limited by forces beyond your control & now trapped by those u feel unable 2 control”

Navigating Covid we've paused to reflect on what really matters in life, but despite years of exhaustive rhetoric on inclusion and equality from our government; they can't be bothered to reconcile even 'symbolically' with our First Nations during NAIDOC week. #FirstNations

Participatory #artsinhealth evidenced based programs, which improve the health and well being of participants using continuity of care approaches are consistent with NSW Health: Aboriginal Maternal Infant Health Strategy & Global Strategy Women Child Adolescent health strategies

To understand and support culturally responsive and safe environments, you first need to go on a journey examining your own perspectives, history and life experiences; then question the significance this may have on others.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting Aboriginal women. Screening mammograms can find cancers early, before you or your doctor can see or feel them. Here in #Gilgandra until 30 September, book now.
