ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The JNC acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we work, the Gadigal and Bidjigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that these lands always were and always will be Aboriginal lands. We celebrate First Nations Peoples’ connection to the land and recognise the importance of Indigenous voices and culture. We would like to advise that there may be images or videos on this website of people who have since passed.

“Navigating Teenage Depression” – Free Talk

Black Dog Institute will be hosting a talk “Navigating Teenage Depression”. Parents, teachers and those who work with teens will have the opportunity to learn more about depression and bipolar disorders, how to spot early warning signs in young people and provide support, and when and where to seek help.

JNC General Manager, Janet Green, explains “Mental illness does not discriminate, but unfortunately, sometimes people do. We aim to equip the community with a better understanding of the challenges anyone may experience and reduce stigma. Individuals and families can find out more about mental health issues and available support on offer from staff of local services directly, the seminar by Black Dog Institute and a fun interactive digital activity provided by Headspace. The event aims to inspire all to learn and grow.”

So come along and find out more about volunteering, your local community organisations and take home some great information.

This free event aims to build inclusiveness and increase social acceptance around mental health.
