To celebrate NAIDOC Week, Indigenous Mental Health Worker, Jeleacha Hopkins-Lincolne, and Artist in Residence, Peta Mitchell, visited TPCH Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit and shared cultural stories and knowledge with consumers.
Consumers engaged with the presenters on cultural topics and painted the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flag.
NAIDOC Week is important for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples because it is a day that brings us together to remember the past, celebrate our resilience and to build a better future. This year’s NAIDOC Week theme was Get up! Stand Up! Show Up! We have a proud history of getting up, standing up, and showing up to support systemic change and to keep rallying around our mob, our Elders, and our communities.
