Commencing in January of 2011, Thomas began his journey with us as a Exercise Physiologist in Townville. Over the years Thomas's career has progressed, even filling in as General Manager of Allied Health... today Tom leads a team of clinicians covering an area spanning from Ingham to Bowen, Collinsville to Charters Towers and most places in between.

Studying a Masters of Health Leadership and Management, Tom is valued for his attention to detail and resourcing his team to conduct regular outreach across the region.

BACK TO SCHOOL 📚🍎

Last week, the NWRH Wellbeing Team was proud to be part of the Let’s Get Enrolled Schools Expo in Mount Isa.

The expo brought families together in a welcoming, one-stop space to get organised for the school year, connect with local services, and enjoy fun activities for children. With so many education, health and community services involved, the day really showed what’s possible when everyone works together to support families🎒

Our team hosted a stall to connect with families and young people, sharing information about our Family Mental Health Support Service (FHMSS) and Remote Community Connector (RCC) programs and talking about ways to support wellbeing, strengthen families, and help children feel confident as they head into the new school year.

We also provided transport to help ensure families could attend and feel included. There was strong interest from families and young people, with lots of meaningful conversations, youth-focused engagement, and valuable connections made across services.

MEET THE TEAM 👋👋

Introducing John Enyong, Team Leader Mental Health

🧡TELL US ABOUT YOUR ROLE AND WHAT A TYPICAL DAY LOOKS LIKE?

As the Team Leader for the NWRH Psychotherapies Team, I’m based in Townsville with routine visits to Mackay and Cairns. Working alongside an exceptional team of clinicians everyday centres around one core mission: ensuring our clients receive the highest quality care that transforms their lives.

My role involves supervising our diverse clinical staff, coordinating services across regions, reviewing care plans, and working directly with clients when needed.

A typical day might start with clinical supervision, where we work together to ensure every client receives evidence based, personalised support. I then travel between Townsville, Mackay, or Cairns to maintain strong connections with both our staff and the communities we serve. Whether I'm coordinating care for a complex case, supporting a team member's professional development, or meeting with community partners, every action focuses on helping our clients achieve better outcomes and reclaim their wellbeing.

💙WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR ROLE?

The most rewarding aspect of my work is witnessing the tangible, life changing impact we have on our clients' lives. There's nothing quite like seeing someone who arrived at our service struggling with overwhelming mental health challenges gradually rebuild their life, rediscover hope, and reconnect with what matters most to them.

I'm equally inspired by watching my team grow in skill, confidence, and compassion. Our clinicians bring such dedication and innovation to their work, constantly finding new ways to tailor support to each client's unique needs and cultural context.

💛WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO WORK IN REGIONAL, RURAL AND REMOTE AREAS?

I'm deeply passionate about bridging the service gaps that exist in regional, rural, and remote communities, where mental health support is often under resourced yet desperately needed. Every person in Far North Queensland deserves access to high quality mental health care, regardless of where they live, and I believe our team is making that vision a reality.

Working in regional areas allows for something special: close community engagement, genuine relationships with the people we serve, and the ability to see the direct impact of our work.

The regional setting also fosters incredible multidisciplinary teamwork and innovation. We learn to be resourceful, creative, and collaborative in ways that ultimately benefit our clients.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES’ WELLBEING💛💙🧡

In February, our Mental Health team will be back on the road, visiting Croydon, Georgetown, Forsayth and surrounding townships. These outreach trips are a special time for our clinicians to reconnect with local communities, sharing conversations, offering support, and appreciating the region’s stunning landscapes, unique rock formations and country hospitality along the way.

During these visits, our team provides free psychological therapy and counselling for people of all ages, supporting children, young people, adults and older residents with challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief and trauma.

Community members can access these services through their GP, by contacting our Central Intake team on 1800799244, or via referral from another health professional ☎️

By bringing care to our most remote areas, NWRH ensures everyone has access to quality mental health support, close to home.

NWRH TINY TIPS FOR A BETTER YOU 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Breathing gently is one of the most effective ways to settle the body from any stress, tension, anxiety or excessive emotion and distress🍃

Just a couple of minutes focussing on your breath, in and out of the nose, feeling each breath, its rhythm…really connecting with your lungs expanding and contracting – and making the whole movement gentle connects you back with your body, regulates the nervous system and gently resets you to be able to think more clearly and move more freely.
