We’ve been on the road training aftercare and other service staff to facilitate in-person, community-based sessions of the Minds Together program for family, friends and carers supporting someone experiencing suicidal distress or following a su***de attempt. These face-to-face sessions complement the free, self-paced online version of the program.

Thank you to everyone from Northern Sydney LHD who joined us last month!

For aftercare and other services in NSW and the ACT that would like to deliver the Minds Together program to family, friends and carers in their community in small group settings, face-to-face facilitator training is available. Please get in touch at [email protected].

'Who cares (bilingarra) for the carer (miyan)?' was developed for Aboriginal carers by Aboriginal carers. We would like to support and recognise Aboriginal carers by sharing this resource with our community.

In this pocket guide, you will find ways to take time out when you need rest (wirra), tips on connecting with friends (malayarr) who understand, how to listen (winhangarra) and help a carer, and a list of services for when you need help (yambiyambinya) ASAP.

The language of the Wiradjuri people has been sourced from the book, 'A new Wiradjuri dictionary', compiled by Stan Grant (Snr) and Dr John Rudder, published by Restoration House in 2010.

This cultural element was developed by David Williams, a proud Wakka Wakka man and artist at Gilimbaa.
