Program Overview
Led by those with lived experience of mental health challenges, and working closely with diaspora communities and their organisations, the Open Exchange seeks to build mental health literacy among its participants through a multi-faceted community engagement approach that centers around helping people get beyond a variety of barriers, including core aspects of life in Australia, like finding job opportunities and building their social confidence.
Key Outcomes
- Regular access to place-based community circles that are safe and accessible, and encourage help seeking self-led behaviour change.
- Access to counselling services where community leaders with mental health first aid training support individuals to navigate the mental health service system.
- Access to resources including podcasts, that can be easily shared across different generations of a given community.
