NWRH MYNDKIND & JOURNEY COORDINATORS 💛💙🧡

NWRH are proud to be a provider of a range of services through the MyndKind program in Cairns, Townsville and Mackay.

WHAT IS MYNDKIND?
MyndKind supports people in Northern Queensland who find it difficult to access mental health services. These people often face financial hardship, limited transport, and other challenges that make it hard to get the help they need.

HOW DO I ACCESS MYNDKIND?
The easiest way to access MyndKind, and a range of other supports, is to call Medicare Mental Health phone service on 1800 595 212 where people will be connected to a service or support that’s right for them.

If MyndKind is not the right service for you, Medicare Mental Health phone service will help you find the one that is.

NEXT STEPS?
If MyndKind is the right service for you, your next step in your journey will often be with a Journey Coordinator who can discuss with you what kind of supports may be available.

An independent partner in your care, Journey Coordinators have a strong focus on building a trusting relationship, understanding needs, and connecting you to a range of services and supports.

MEET MONDAY🧡💙💛

Based out of our Townsville (East Coast) and Cairns offices and part of our Stepped Care MyndKind team, please join us in saying "HI" to NWRH Journey Co-ordinators Talia-bree, Megan and Rae 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

🔸TALIA-BREE (TOWNSVILLE)
I'm a social worker by background and for the last 5 years I've been working with youth and their families through cancer. I am also working towards becoming a death doula. My role entails supporting those who have barriers accessing services to become more available and build their confidence and capability to manage services and their wellbeing. I'm 1-week into the role but look forward to supporting the people! One of my main hobbies is wildlife caring. Since I'm new no one here knows much about me, but fun fact I'm also a performer.

🔸MEGAN (TOWNSVILLE)
I have a professional background as a Domestic Family Sexual Violence Specialist, with post graduate studies in Mental Health and Domestic Violence. My role entails a strong focus on building trusting relationship, understanding needs, and connecting people to a range or services and supports. Focusing on capacity building, psychoeducation, and supporting agency / self management/ self determination. New to the role I am currently completing onboarding but I have enjoyed the professionalism of NWRH, the supportive team, seamless onboarding and scheduled training. Outside of work I enjoy gym, yoga, mindfulness/ meditation and I am also a certified spinal flow practitioner.

🔸RAE (CAIRNS)
Previously I have worked as a Community Mental Health Practitioner and an Outcome Client Facilitator in AOD rehab. Working towards finishing a Bachelor in Social Work. Completed a Diploma in Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs, Diploma in Community Services (Case Management) and a Diploma in Child, Youth and Family Intervention. My role entails supporting clients overcome barriers for accessing services. Walk with the client as a holder of hope and support them reaching their goals and building confidence and skills and to support their overall wellbeing. I am now a month into the role and enjoying being able to put my own reflection on the role to support clients. My hobbies outside of work are crocheting, cross stitching, attending burn out comps and speedway watching my adopted brothers, researching family history and I am learning to race a remote control cars (it is a lot harder than it looks).

Happy International Women's Day 💜

In celebration of we asked some of our leading ladies to share some words around this years theme 'Give to Gain', emphasizing the power of reciprocity and support 👇

Sarah Bohan- NWRH General Manager Allied Health

“As a leader, it’s my job to continue to have a seat at the table and create space for other women to join. It’s important for women to show the value that one another bring to the workforce not only as women, but as colleagues, team members, and leaders. Give to gain, means advocating for women- carving out space for who we are, and impacts that we can have value not only in the healthcare sector but in wider society. If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.”

🔸🔸🔸

Ann-Marie Eaton- NWRH General Manager Wellbeing

"As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t about telling someone their crown is crooked, it’s about gently straightening it. In our remote communities, I see every day that when we give our experience, encouragement, and belief to other women, we don’t lose anything , we gain stronger leaders, deeper trust, and more resilient communities.

Giving wisdom is not stepping back; it’s building forward. Creating safe spaces for women to rise is how we ensure the next generation stands taller than we ever could alone. This International Women’s Day, I celebrate the power of women who strengthen one another, because when we lift each other up with respect and integrity, our collective crown shines brighter."

🔸🔸🔸

Venessa Cornwell- NWRH Team Leader Finance

“Give to Gain for me is about leading by example to uplift the next generation of women leaders. It creates a forum for open, honest, supportive, and meaningful communication—empowering women to navigate the many responsibilities they often juggle.

By fostering this space, we enable women to realise their full potential as leaders, businesswomen, mothers, partners, and individuals who contribute to a well-balanced society. Ensuring a diverse and gender-balanced group of leaders across the health sector promotes equity, broadens perspectives, and strengthens outcomes for all.”

Supporting International Women's Day 💜

In celebration of this Sunday, we asked some of our leading ladies to share some words around this years theme , and how they contribute to women's advancement within the health sector 👇

Trina Matthews- NWRH Executive Manager People and Culture

“Give to Gain” means creating pathways for the women coming after us. Mentoring emerging leaders, supporting women to grow in their careers, and advocating for flexible, sustainable workplaces. When we invest in women across our workforce, we don’t just grow careers, we improve access, strengthen services, and create healthier communities for everyone.”

🔸🔸🔸

Reema Joshi- NWRH General Manager Carer Gateway and Navigation Services

“Give to Gain reminds me that I’m here because someone once took the time to guide me. I try to pay that forward by mentoring women, backing their ideas, and creating space for them to grow with confidence, especially in health settings where the work is demanding and women carry a lot.”
