From National MH Survey Young people bear the brunt and mental ill health has increased by a whopping 50% from 26% in 2007 to 39% in 16-24 year olds. Youth MH Crisis? Yes it is real and we need to respond urgently with preventive measures and a major strengthening of MH care
One Red Tree gained our Health Promotion Charity and DGR Level 1 status this week. Huge for us. We couldn’t have done this without @nfp_law connecting us to outstanding lawyers at @bakermckenzie as a pro bono client. Www.justiceconnect.org.au #mentalhealth #notforprofit #Charity

Schools can’t do it alone- communities need to wrap support around them from all agencies, including agencies like ours. This absolutely needs to be a team effort. #education #ruralschools #mentalhealth #educhat #ruraled bit.ly/3RPjMNY

More conclusive evidence that universal interventions however seductive are ineffective and potentially wasteful. All the evidence supports targeted early intervention.

Just like that, after 6 months, this fine group of @FedUniAustralia psychs have finished their placement at One Red Tree. We supported and supervised them whilst they spent 2 days per week in local schools. Goodbye and we wish you the best! #clinicalpsychology #Mentalhealth – at Ararat, Victoria

The Mental Health and Wellbeing Bill introduced to parliament today provides the legislative foundations needed to transform Victoria’s mental health system. Read more: health.vic.gov.au/news/worki…
Today is a milestone in Victoria’s 10-year #mentalhealth and reform journey. @VicGovAu introduced a new Mental Health and Wellbeing Bill to Parliament. This will replace the current Mental Health Act 2014, as recommended by the Royal Commission.

We’ve worked with some current pilot Mental Health & Wellbeing Coordinators and they have been outstanding in connecting families and supporting our provisional psychologists on placement. It’s fantastic to see them get more funding and allow all schools to have this help! – at Ararat, Victoria
Education Minister @JamesMerlinoMP has announced a $200m investment in children’s mental health - the single biggest investment in mental health in Australia’s history. By 2026 every Goverment PS will employ its own Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader.
Building connections with our local young people is incredibly important in enticing them back to live and work in our rural towns once they become qualified. We saw a young persons eyes light up today and get excited about a future in psychology. Wonderful. #Mentalhealth – at Ararat, Victoria

It was an honour to meet @Steve_Dimo this week while he was on his visit to Ararat. We’re really glad Martha Haylett was able to persuade him. We’re passionate about providing mental health workforce pathways to our regional area. – at Ararat, Victoria

As part of my work as Parliamentary Secretary for Mental Health, I headed to Ararat and Martha Haylett, Labor’s Candidate for the seat of Ripon said ‘you have to drop into an organisation called One Red Tree’. I’m really glad I did.
Through our relational training and development model, we’re able to provide impactful placements for clinical psych’s and also opportunities for school families and teachers to learn from a professional. Win/win for all! Stawell 502 has their family workshop ready. #psychology – at Ararat, Victoria
