 <\/p>\n

I wrote a little while back about making contact with Dr Andrew McClelland, senior lecturer in mental health for the Centre for Remote Health.<\/p>\n

We agreed to exchange resources and have been doing so. I am looking forward to being able to share some of his excellent self-care materials.<\/p>\n

Today he sent some information about rural and remote counselling\/wellbeing resources. Whilst they are oriented towards rural and remote staff and students with a focus on working in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, some of the resources (e.g. the Mindful Mondays) are applicable to us all.<\/p>\n

CRANAplus https:\/\/crana.org.au\/<\/a> – heaps of resources including Bush Support Services (Telephone counselling service): 1800 805 391<\/p>\n

The CRANAplus website has many other useful resources. You can sign up to the Mindful Mondays<\/a> newsletter for quick-read practical de-stressing ideas. The Education, Workforce Support and Resources tabs all have useful info.\u00a0 For example, there are clinician and student<\/a> support services, mental health training<\/a> and useful docs such as Pathways to Remote Professional Practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RAHC<\/u><\/strong> Resilience & Self-Care Out Bush (online resource): www.rahc.com.au\/elearning<\/a> You\u2019ll need to create an account (free) to access the eLearning. The course\/resource is interactive and is very good for preparing to head out to a community for work or placement as well as self-care considerations when there. The principles are applicable in many environments and the site is well worth a visit. The RAHC website also has a number of other useful resources – in the eLearning folder.<\/p>\n

I’ll seek to post other resources as they are shared \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
