IHHP - Meekatharra - MK Nation

IHHP and Western Australia Country Health Service and the Meekatharra shire worked together to develop a sensitive topic music video clip, around STI's and their prevention and treatment. Also tackling the issues around drugs and alcohol when making choices about relationships. The participants, with the help of the community Adults and Youth Workers, acknowledge that the hardest part of this topic is encouraging youth to get treated. The young artist put this incredible song together, and displayed amazing maturity around this topic.
Thanks to WACHS for inviting us out to Meekatharra, and also the community of Meekatharra for being so welcoming. We are really proud of the collective effort involved in making this music video clip.
