Tomorrow in Broken Hill 🌸 Women's Health Week

Women often put themselves last when it comes to their health.

Caring for family, time constraints in the workplace and commitments in the community mean women are generally very busy. This leads to women not being well prepared when attending appointments with health professionals.

This Women’s Health Week, we want to focus on getting the most out of your health professional appointment by equipping women with information on the health checks they need and when they need them.

Pop down to Town Square in Broken Hill tomorrow, Tuesday 2 September, between 9am to 1pm and see our Women's Health Team who are raising awareness about how women can have confident and informed conversations with their GP, as part of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week (1-5 September). 💪

Healthy women means strong families, workforces and communities.

CAMHS is an acute mental health service that provides crisis response, mental health assessment and therapeutic services utilising a bio-psycho-social, developmental, recovery focused and family orientated framework to support children and young people from 0-18 years of age experiencing moderate to severe levels of symptomatology associated with various mental health concerns.

CAMHS have recently expanded the current service to include drug and alcohol assessment and intervention. CAMHS will complete a comprehensive screening and substance use assessment, ensure support, and provide brief psychotherapy and case coordination for young people in the community.

We believe in a 'no wrong door' approach - and will refer to less acute services when necessary, ensuring every child, young person, parent or carer is connected to the right support or service for their needs.

We provide equitable access across the Far West through in-person appointments at our sites, telehealth, outreach visits, and collaborative partnerships.

🌱 Your Child's Brain is Growing Fast – and You're Their Best Teacher! 🧠💕

From playing pretend to helping with little tasks, every moment you spend with your pre-schooler helps build their brain and confidence. Even short bursts of quality time - reading a book, exploring outdoors, or simply talking - make a big difference.

✨ Tell them what you love about them
📚 Read and make up stories together
🎨 Encourage play, creativity, and curiosity
📵 Keep screen time under 1 hour a day
💬 Be their biggest cheerleader

You're doing the most important job of all - raising a little learner! 💪 If you need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Child & Family Health nurse or GP.
