Are you looking for some local, professional training for your staff?

Did you know that Centacare can meet with you and tailor a workshop for your organisation?

Earlier in the year our practitioners, Emma and Geoff, created and facilitated two, 3-hour workshops titled ‘Working with Conflict and Challenging Behaviours’ for RivMed staff.

The attendees offered lots of great written and verbal feedback, with one participant reporting that it was one of the best trainings sessions they had ever been to!

Please get in touch if you are interested in staff training, we would love to hear from you!

We are so thankful for SunRice’s Silver Sponsorship in support of our organization's event. Your sponsorship has made a tremendous impact on our cause and we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your dedication.

Mental health stigma is more common in rural areas, as sometimes symptoms of mental illness amongst men can be perceived as having a weak character. Rural males are less likely to seek help and instead use unhealthy coping strategies such as drug and alcohol use to cope with stress. Rural stigma has an everlasting effect, men are more likely to experience poorer mental health outcomes.
