 The Peregrine Rural Mental Health Podcast began as an idea from rural mental health practitioners. Too busy to watch webinars or attend workshops, the practitioners did say that they often spent a long time in the car, travelling to their rural workplaces. Therefore, we at The Peregrine Centre have produced a series of episodes, each about an hour long, to help practitioners upskill and expand their mental health practice, all from the comfort of their own headphones.

We bring to you experts in their field to teach you about the topics you requested and to answer the questions you asked. Each episode is published on our digital Learning Platform, along with a curated list of resources for those who want to explore further. For free access to our digital learning platform and to suggest topics for future episodes, please visit our website: theperegrinecentre.com.au
