Therefore, I would like to invite you to comment or write down to your self on paper a possitive message/accomplishment or your favourite self-care activity that you've done so far this week to remind ourselves how far you've come.

23.01.2022 The past three days have been an absolute pleasure co-delivering the 14hr Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid (AMHFA) training with my talented colleague Jodi Simpson on this beautiful Larrakia Country, Darwin.

Hanging out with these deadly Darwin locals and getting to learn between each other (both trainers and participants).... What an deadly way to wind down this big week.

18.01.2022 Ever wondered or interested in the name Jintangka and where it came from? For those that might be interested, the Warlpiri definition translates to "together, group or en masse". The meaning was suggested from my Grandma which reflects that Mental Wellness is everyone's business and it's going to take a whole of community to create positive change for those that are struggling. Reference: Warlpiri picture dictionary. (2012). Alice Springs: IAD Press.

16.01.2022 It was a such a great workshop delivery in Alice Springs over 25th and 26th of June 2020. After the workshop, a participant expressed the one of the key strengths of delivery as having an Indigenous facilitator/ trainer run the course who could also touch on cultural awareness as well and answer questions around that was helpful for them in gaining knoweldge of Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid training. Good luck applying AMHFA wherever you might be.

15.01.2022 One of the things I've learnt and always practice is from the 5 P's... Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. No matter how experienced, where or how recent I've delivered a training, I always prepare as if it was my first time.

14.01.2022 It's vital for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to stay connected to culture and country to help us maintain good mental health and every day life balance as we heal holistically when addressing mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs which involves our connection to country, kinship and culture.
