Homelessness Reconnect<\/h2>\n

\"HomelessnessThe annual Redcliffe Homelessness Reconnect event was held in Redcliffe on the 4 August 2022. Mental Health staff members Wilsen Brincat (Dual Diagnosis Coordinator RedCab), Rebeka Riggs (Social Worker – Transitional Care Caboolture Hospital)\u00a0and Amanda Antonieff (Clinical Nurse – Discharge Facilitator Caboolture Mental Health Unit), hosted a health promotion stall at the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Homelessness Reconnect, organised by Encircle, has been held annually for 10 years. This year, Wilsen, Amanda and Rebeka offered fresh fruit, nut bars and nicotine replacement products at the stall. This led to dozens of informative and heart-warming conversations with consumers, community members and service providers on a myriad of topics from smoking cessation to self-care and accessing services. There were many networking opportunities which supported MH consumers to be linked into new services and programs that they may not have been aware of prior to the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>
