As rural mental health practitioners, there is a need to be a generalist and know a little bit about a lot of things. Sometimes however it can be helpful to collaborate with other professionals in the care of our consumers. Through this series join Dr Dayle Raftery, clinical psychologist and research associate at The Peregrine Centre, as she talks to eight different practitioners working in mental health across rural NSW.In this episode, Dayle is joined by Desley McKellar, an Aboriginal Mental Health Clinical Leader in Far West NSW. It is well recognised that Western models of mental health are not always a good fit for First Nations peoples. Aboriginal Mental Health Clinicians are uniquely positioned to support First Nations people with mental health difficulties in culturally responsive and appropriate ways, while also advocating within the Western mental health system.  Desley discusses the importance of knowing and working with the community, balancing the personal and professional, and the privilege she experiences in getting to do this work.

 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
