22.01.2022 We're so proud of CBR NightCrew member Tom, and so pleased that he was able to save Jay's life.

Thank you to both Tom and Jay for sharing this story with us, we think you're both amazing people and great role models!

19.01.2022 What a great idea combining these highly specialised skills to create PACERS, a mental health response team who assist those suffering a mental health crisis, who may be suicidal or self harming. Our crew are always so grateful for the support of our friends in blue, and this is yet another way they are supporting our community, along with paramedics and mental health nurses and responders. Thank you for supporting our community and the people who need this care and support.

19.01.2022 In the lead up to RUOK Day and Suicide Prevention Day this Thursday, and every day, it's worth raising our awareness about the signs that someone may not be OK. Are they behaving a little differently? Are they more agitated or withdrawn? By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help a family member, friend or workmate open up. Check out this video and the RUOK website https://www.ruok.org.au/ to learn more about what you can do to hel...p someone who is not OK. If you are interested in learning more about how to support those in crisis, St John Ambulance ACT will be holding their Mental Health and Crisis Support Training 16 September. Learn how to support those in crisis, or those who are suffering mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, suicide and addiction. For more information see the website https://bit.ly/333STNy or email [email protected] or phone 6282 2399.

18.01.2022 Some of our crew members, also from the U20 Canberra Raiders, were bringing the moves to their shift this weekend! Thanks so much guys, for making us smile and for your excellent work with the CBR NightCrew <3 Song credit: Rueda by Chimbala

11.01.2022 It's Men's Health Week, so it's a good reminder to check on the men in your life - your friends, partner, brothers, sons, fathers, grandfathers and colleagues. Stay connected with them and let's continue to break down the stigma around mental health and the courageous act of asking for support.

11.01.2022 Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, an opportunity to reflect and learn more about how we can become more aware every day, to notice when someone may be struggling with their mental health, and to ask R U OK? If you suspect someone is experiencing depression, anxiety or thoughts of suicide, start by asking if they're okay, and be prepared to give them support if they're not. If a friend or loved one talks or behaves in a way that makes you believe they might attempt suicid...e, don't try to handle the situation alone. Get help from a trained professional as quickly as possible. For immediate help call 000 right away, or if you think you can do so safely, take the person to the nearest hospital emergency room.

10.01.2022 Today is International Day of Friendship! Our crew members come from all walks of life, but they are always inclusive and supportive of each other, and through their incredible work in supporting the community and helping others, they have formed some very special and life-long friendships. The International Day of Friendship was initiated by the UN General Assembly in 2011, with the idea that friendship between individuals, countries and cultures can inspire peace efforts an...d build bridges between communities. We couldn’t agree more with that sentiment! Check out our gallery of photos showcasing just some of these wonderful friendships. https://stjohnact.com.au//international-day-of-friendship/

09.01.2022 A big shout out to our friends in blue, who we work alongside every week in the city. Thank you for keeping our community safe and for being so patient and approachable while you're at it. We appreciate each and every one of you!

08.01.2022 Our Valentines Crew are the best, and so creative! Thanks for the love team <3 Roses are red Violets are blue Lollipops are sweet... Just like our NightCrew

06.01.2022 Today is Thank a First Responder Day, and we are so grateful to First Responders across the country, who have dedicated so much to protect, defend and care for our communities. Our own CBR NightCrew members have supported the community and provided a safe place for those in need, but they have also required support at times and for that we'd particularly like to thank ACT Policing. Being a First Responder in Australia this year has been even more challenging, yet they continu...e to demonstrate composure and determination in very demanding situations. First Responders have families and friends who they often have to leave behind during stressful times, in order to protect, defend and care for our communities. Thank you to First Responders everywhere, and to the families and friends who support them, for all your efforts and the work you have done and continue to do. We are so grateful. #TAFRD #ThankaFirstResponder #FirstResponderDay
