TALK IT UP

Yirra Yaakin and the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health are proud to present a three day performance and workshop program aimed at providing positive mental health support for Indigenous communities.
Depression, drug and alcohol abuse and mental health problems are too common in Indigenous communities. Its time to do something about it. Its time to TALK IT UP.
Too many of our people are suffering in silence or taking their lives... but how do you spot the signs when someone is reaching out? How do you get them support?
This three day program has been developed to hep start the healing process in our communities.
The performance of TALK IT UP is followed by a two-day workshop with trained faciliatators and mental health workers.
The program is open to all members of the community and is FREE.
