09.01.2022 October is Mental Health Awareness Month and this year’s theme is ‘Tune In’. Karen’s Story was produced in 2018 and unpacks some of the experiences that Karen,... a consumer of our services had a time where she really needed support. The Far West LHD uses a process to collect consumer stories and during that process, uses ‘emotional touch points’. Touch points help the person to connect with their story and remember how they felt at the time of their experience. It takes so much courage for people to share their stories, especially if they feel like it might have a negative impact on their healthcare. That’s why we thank Karen so much for sharing her story; for being so brave and speaking out. Stories like Karen’s help us ‘Tune In’ to experiences of people using our services. If you would like to share your experiences using the Far West LHD, both good and bad, contact 08 8080 1100 and ask to speak to a story collector. This video may contain distressing content if you or someone you know needs immediate mental health help, call the Mental Health Helpline on 1800 011 511 or Emergency Services on 000 or call Lifeline on 13 11 14

His winning entry - Shape of Land - was judged by the National #NAIDOC Committee to have best illustrated the 2020 NAIDOC theme: Always Was Always Will Be. Waigana, a proud Noongar and Saibai Islander, has previously been named as one of WA’s best new and emerging Indigenous artists. According to the 23-year-old, his winning entry depicts the Rainbow Serpent coming out of the Dreamtime to create this country and how we are strongly connected to it. The Rainbow Serpent is represented by the snake and it forms the shape of Australia, which symbolises how it created our lands. The colour from the Rainbow Serpent is reflected on to the figure to display our connection to the Rainbow Serpent, thus our connection to country. The overlapping colours on the outside is the Dreamtime. The figure inside the shape of Australia is a representation of Indigenous Australians showing that this country - since the dawn of time - always was, and always will be Aboriginal land, Mr Waigana added. To find out more about this year’s artwork and winning artist and to download a digital copy of the 2020 National NAIDOC Poster visit the NAIDOC website. Free printed copies of the 2020 National NAIDOC Poster will be available in coming months. #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #Indigenous #Aboriginal #TorresStrait #FirstNations
