📣 Mental Health Carers NSW has partnered with Mental Health Carers Australia to launch the Voices for Reform: Community of Practice – a pilot program designed for unpaid mental health families, carers and kin and those with dual lived experience who are ready to move from a foundational understanding of advocacy into the realm of systemic influence and reform.

This free, six-session online series will run monthly from August to December 2025 and is structured around Level 1 of the MHCA Capability Framework. Participants will explore key systemic advocacy topics including trauma-informed approaches, strategic storytelling, co-design, and advisory group participation.

EOI submissions will close on Monday August 18th 2025.

Making friends or forming connections takes time and effort, but it often starts with a small moment. An awkward hello, a chance encounter, an act of kindness, a compliment, a shared experience or interest or even a funny story – these small but meaningful interactions matter 🗣️

This Loneliness Awareness Week (4-10 August), @endlonelinessau is sharing small but meaningful moments that help young people build and strengthen connections, and calling on all Australians to make moments matter at home, work, school and in the community.

🔗 Visit the Loneliness Awareness Week website to better understand loneliness and learn how you can create opportunities for meaningful social connection - link in bio!

Together, we can all make #MomentsMatter
