ConNetica has developed 5 FREE Fact Sheets and online learning programs to share our extensive mental health and suicide prevention, leadership and change management expertise. This is one of the ways we are “supporting humanity” during the Corona Pandemic.
This is a joint collaboration between ConNetica, Pharmacy Guild of Australia – Qld Branch, Mod Realty Ipswich, Patria Consulting and 2 outstanding community members with a lived experience, Jacquie Witham, former Qld Police Inspector and Kerrie Keepa, former nurse.
Our vision is to train 500 people to have 500 conversations in 500 days. This community led early suicide prevention initiative shifts the dial from costly suicide crisis intervention to early suicide prevention. Learners leave the 4 hour Conversations for life® training more READY, WILLING AND ABLE to have early conversations with people who are experiencing a personal crisis, becoming overwhelmed and possibly withdrawing from others.
We do things with & not to people, collaborate with and acknowledge stakeholders, identify performance needs & obstacles & analyse best practice evidence to inform practical and context aligned solutions. We have a reputation for building rapport and mutual respect and providing honest and insightful advice.
We utilise and apply systems wide thinking. We identify the root causes of problems, and recommend attention to the social determinants of health to enable improved health outcomes for all. We advocate for place based solutions, tailored to the unique needs of communities and individuals.
ConNetica acknowledges Australia's First People and their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging. Our team greatly values our work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and every project we undertake together further builds our appreciation of our First Nations Peoples' tremendous strength, wisdom, resilience and knowledge.
