At Red Rock Branding, our roots are deeply embedded in public health campaigns, collaborating with esteemed institutions like Yale, Columbia, and Tulane Universities. Our mission? To make a lasting impact on mental health awareness and treatment. With these collaborations we aim to decrease the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) by increasing awareness and getting people into care quickly. The benefits of this campaign include: 🚀 Early Detection and Intervention: Educating the community to recognize the signs of psychosis and seek timely help. 🚀 Comprehensive Support: Providing accurate information and resources to individuals and families affected by psychosis. 🚀 Community Engagement: Hosting events and building relationships to spread awareness and support mental health initiatives. Through targeted messaging and community outreach, we successfully shortened DUP, bringing hope and timely treatment to those in need. Early intervention in psychosis can significantly improve outcomes. By raising awareness and educating the community, we help individuals receive the care they need sooner, fostering a healthier and more supportive environment. Join us in our journey to create a world where mental health is prioritized, and stigma is a thing of the past. 🚀🤝❤️ 👇 Together, we can make a difference. https://lnkd.in/gNMCXYDx

Trauma from two or more generations ago, can impact us and our children. Some, a commonly held perspective in Indigenous Cultures, states that it goes seven generations back and seven generations forward. Pulling back and looking at this big picture shows the power of your decision-making today. If you choose to heal, to look into your trauma and your family history, you can impact seven generations into the future and seven generations into the past. When the trauma runs us, all we end up seeing is one moment as if it is an all or nothing life or death moment and we lose sight of the big picture. It’s critical that more people end up seeing that big picture so as a generation we can be wiser. Our online groups start every four weeks. We aren’t seeking perfection, we are merely seeking to be more human, self aware, humble, carry more dignity and create less shame. 👥 Join “My Men’s Group” Online! • Free for the first four weeks, then $10/month. • Free Online Group Sessions led by Alistair, founder of Moose Anger Management. • Deeply transformative and supportive community.

Like many communities, the health system in greater Bloomington is overburdened, especially when it comes to mental health. The barriers that prevent our community members from accessing the health care they need are too great for simple solutions. At Bloomington Health Foundation, we’re taking a holistic look at these issues and working with local nonprofits, lawmakers, and clinicians to make our solutions more effective. We’re dedicated to empowering our community to tackle these challenges, including increasing access to mental health care.

These updated priorities released for 2024 to advance pathways of families in The ALIVE National Centre co-designed Roadmap for Mental Health Research Translation are a next step in ensuring that the National Centre and research members, networks and partners organisations commit to respond to the priorities of people most impacted. For the Centre, this includes working to support community-led models to respond to the ongoing issues of compound trauma within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as part of the pathways of priority populations. Now More Than Ever this has never been so important that research organisations and translational research parties listen to what matters most for people in communities and centre peoples' priorities. As we mark 30 years of inadequate implementation of the Bringing Them Home Report and countless Commissions and Inquiries into Deaths in Custody and inappropriate responses for cultural safety, let's turn the tide on compound trauma toward healing-oriented systems of care. Often research translation adopts a bi-directional approach where researcher-centric priorities dominant and support the narrative that we need more evidence into practice and that some gap exists that needs a solution. In many cases communities hold answers that are simply not known and listened to. I am proud to co-lead an organisation with Michelle Banfield and Sandra Eades AO that works to translate what communities want, and what solutions communities already have back into research, policy and practice. These updated priorities from families suggest a need for system-wide: 🌟 focused preventive efforts in families to provide support with children where parents are living with mental ill-health. 🌟 less punitive measures for families and that means thinking about out of home care, child removals and harmful models that don't reconnect families. 🌟 models of care that look at the whole, the group, the collective and family units where appropriate rather than individuals. 🌟 more lived-experience driven measures of what matters and for whom. The Pocket Map 2024 Edition highlights how the priorities of families connect but differ to evolving priorities of our work. It also shows the connection to our Call to Action for relational systems, safe policy and holistic well-being. On National Sorry Day and National Reconciliation Week, today, this week and always we will work to implement change that leads to these outcomes. Join us in these Calls for change and to respond to the priorities of people most impacted: Mental Health Australia National Mental Health Consumer and Carer Forum (NMHCCF) Lived Experience Australia Northern Territory Lived Experience Network LELAN | Lived Experience Leadership & Advocacy Network BEING - Mental Health Consumers Community First Development Children's Ground SNAICC - National Voice for our Children #NRW2024 #CastingtheNet #ResearchTranslation #MentalHealthMatters
Now More Than Ever is this year's theme for National Reconciliation Week and for Sorry Day this May 26th 2024 now more than ever we need research, policy and practice that pays attention to responding to policy harms and unsafe research practices. To support this, The ALIVE National Centre has launched its Phase 2 Consensus Statements Intermediary Horizons with the Pathways of Families and priorities outlined within. This reflects priorities shared by parents living with mental ill-health and carers, children and family members over 2023 in our Annual Priorities Survey and Public Co-Design as part of our National Co-Designed Roadmap for Mental Health Research Translation. You can read the Pathways of Families priorities and implementation actions here: https://lnkd.in/gXT4CC42 The 2024 Pocket Map shows the evolving priorities of people most impacted over the past three years. Blue icons show shared priorities with those identified previously and Green icons show the priorities from the 2024 Annual Symposium Casting the Net for What Matters and For Whom? A Call to Action to [re]form national mental health and well-being. Casting the Net for What Matters and For Whom is a call to researchers, policy makers and government and service providers for practice to implement RELATIONAL SYSTEMS, SAFE POLICY and HOLISTIC WELL-BEING by working to implement five foundations. Over this week, we will be sharing the Actions to the Call to support of National Sorry Day and National Reconciliation. Healing the ongoing impacts of the past and must centre the priorities of people most impacted.
