So many of us avoid mental health conversations, not because we don't care, but because we don't feel confident about what to say.

Pakari delivers accredited Mental Health First Aid training to help you build the confidence to start having those conversations when they matter most.

Would you know what to say if someone opened up to you today?

Pakari is proud to announce a partnership with Vic Masters Rugby as their official Mental Wellness Partner.

Vic Masters Rugby is a statewide community of over 35s rugby clubs across Victoria, united through a shared love of the game, connection and mateship.

We’re honoured to support a competition that values its people, both on and off the field and brings players together from clubs across the state.

In Māori, Pakari means strength and resilience, something reflected in the spirit of Vic Masters Rugby and the way teammates show up for one another.

We look forward to standing alongside the Vic Masters community in strengthening that culture of care and connection with the first game of the 2026 season kicking off in May.

Even in this day and age, we see a stigma of mental health in the workplace. Talking about mental health isn’t necessarily discouraged outright, but it’s the lack of interest in mental health from higher-ups that creates a culture of grin-and-bear-it, feelings of isolation and the eventual burnout that can be so damaging.

For a workplace to normalise openness around mental health in the office, we believe a top down approach is important. Management needs to see their staff as real people, and take an interest in their wellbeing.

Victoria workplaces now have clear obligations to manage risks and create supportive environments.

Employees also play a role - manage workloads, set boundaries, practice mindfulness, and seek support.

Taking care of your mental health strengthens you, your team and your workplace.

Inclusion is not optional, it is essential. Disability comes in many forms, some visible, some hidden. We can make our communities more inclusive by ensuring accessibility, including people in decisions, challenging stereotypes and creating safe, welcoming spaces for mental health.

Many relationships come unstuck when one or both parties don’t know how to handle conflict well. Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, its how we handle it that matters. The keys are respect, open communication and a willingness to listen.

Violence, online or offline has no place in our communities.

Digital harm isn’t just “part of the internet”. Harrassment, image based abuse, threats and online coercion affect real people and can have a serious impact on mental health, confidence and wellbeing.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, at home, at work, in our communities and online. Creating safe spaces starts with all of us. A little respect, support and care can go a long way.

Lets look out for each other and make our online spaces safer, kinder and more supportive for everyone.
