Men in regional and rural Australia experience higher suicide risk, reduced access to mental health services, and greater fragmentation of care. Many men engage with health and support services prior to crisis, yet lose continuity of care as they move between primary care, mental health, and community systems.

The session will explore what happens when men fall between services, and how clearer models of collaboration, referral, and role clarity can support engagement, safety, and follow-through in regional mental health practice.

Our First Nations panellists will unpack the central importance of identity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.
Drawing on common challenges practitioners may experience, the session will invite you to reflect on identity in its many forms—such as knowing where you come from, and navigating disrupted connections. It also examines ways to acknowledge negative cultural experiences while continuing to support healing and reconnection.

Presented in partnership with Emerging Minds
Almost a third of Indigenous adolescents aged 18-24 years reported high levels of psychological distress (twice the non-Indigenous rate).1

At this webinar, our First Nations panellists will discuss how participants can deepen their knowledge of cultural identity, including the impacts of colonisation on identity and wellbeing while providing practical strategies for navigating systems in ways that uphold cultural strengths and promote Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB).

Attend to strengthen your practice when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.
