Harmony Week 21 – 24 March 2022 celebrates the theme \u2018Everyone Belongs\u2019<\/h2>\n

Throughout Harmony Week 2022, MNMH participated in a roving art project as a way to start conversations and weave together the different aspects of our communities and cultures via the \u2018One Billion Stars\u2019 project.<\/p>\n

The One Billion Stars project (formerly One Million Stars to End Violence) was founded by Maryann Talia Pau, a Samoan-Australian weaving artist, and her husband Mark Yettica-Paulson, an Indigenous leader and cross-cultural specialist.<\/p>\n

After creating an installation of one million hand woven stars from over 15 countries for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, the new goal is to weave one billion stars by 2032. Each woven star is a beautiful symbol of courage and solidarity to end all forms of violence, including violence against women, bullying and racism.<\/p>\n

\"\"Christmas spirit – The Joy of Giving!<\/h2>\n

A big thank you to Emma and her team for keeping the Christmas spirit alive. They were able to purchase an array of gifts, thanks to the generosity of the staff at Silly Solly Deception Bay.<\/p>\n

Items included beach towels, bucket hats, crazy socks, chocolate\/lollies and many more goodies.<\/p>\n

The gifts were handed out to the consumers in the CCU, HHOT, Older Person, Southern and Northern Teams, Inpatient Unit and Drug & Alcohol.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

\"\"Peer Responder Program<\/h2>\n

I ask that interested employees begin to think about whether you fit the qualities and attributes of a Peer Responder and\/or whether you know someone that would make a great Peer Responder by virtue that they are already doing the role of demonstrating genuine care and concern for their colleagues.<\/p>\n

The Peer Responder Program:<\/p>\n

Demonstrates a commitment by the organisation that staff wellbeing is a priority and MNMH are committed to supporting our staff.
\nResearch shows that supported, healthy and well staff contributes to improved patient care.
\nSupporting our staff is a key aspect of how we demonstrate our commitment to Putting People First and putting our Values into Action- \u2018Our people\u2019s wellbeing\u2019
\nPeer Support Programs are increasingly recognised for their important role in decreasing stigma around help-seeking behaviour and promoting positive workplace culture and connectedness.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Lived experience podcast<\/h2>\n

Lisa Jones, Director of Recovery MNMH recently did a podcast with Don\u2019t Quit on Me, the series which considers alternative ways to manage the inevitability of stress and pain. You can listen to this podcast here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Staff compliments<\/h2>\n

Read about some of the great feedback our services and staff have received.<\/p>\n

“I was admitted to the Mental Health Ward H in late October with suicidal ideation fuelled by an horrific relationship breakdown. During my admission I found the environment within this ward particularly troubling with people in far worse predicaments than me. X the lovely nurse would often sit with me tell me funny stories and reassure me that everything would be fine in the end. X\u2019s laughs could be heard all over the ward and she was a sheer delight at all times. There was always a smile on her face and she was popular with all the patients even when they were being difficult. Of all the nurses, X was the most approachable and willing to help. Thank you X for making my time in here easier than it could have been. This information about X could be shared at a staff meeting so that others can hear firsthand what patients appreciate and perhaps they could aspire to her standards.”<\/p>\n

Compliment received from nursing student on placement – \u201cthank you for a warm experience in mental health. Mental health is such a speciality in nursing and CCU has some pretty special people\u201d.<\/p>\n

Verbal feedback was received by client via telephone conversation in response to the care delivered by counsellor X: “Thank-you from Catherine to the counsellor who spoke with her last Saturday 18th Sept. and helped her about her brother’s substance problem. She is very grateful, and her brother is now accepting treatment which is good news.<\/p>\n

“Wonderful staff. Supportive. Caring. Understand & willing to do their best to help clients. Everything is Great!!”<\/p>\n<\/div>
