Closing the Disability Divide
In this installment of Go Rural Virtually (GRV), we heard from individuals with disabilities who shared their personal experiences and insights on what it's like to live with a disability. By listening to these speakers, you will gain a deeper understanding and empathy for those with disabilities and be better equipped to provide care that is both effective and respectful.
Mental Health in the Bush
Mental health affects all of us but in the bush it’s a unique challenge. Each year, approximately one in five rural and remote Australians experience a mental illness. While data suggests the rates are similar in major cities, the accessibility of mental health services significantly differs in rural and remote areas. Farmers, young men, the elderly and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are at the highest risk of suicide and self-harm.
Where's the Harm?
Healthcare in Correctional Facilities offered health students a unique look into the world of prison healthcare. Attendees gained insights from healthcare professionals at Lotus Glen Correctional Centre in Far North Queensland, ex-prisoners, and staff from the secure unit at Princess Alexandra Hospital, exploring healthcare delivery from both inside and outpatient perspectives.
