'Innovation in Service Delivery' - Enhanced Response Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB)

We are thrilled to announce that the Enhanced Response Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) Consortium has been named a finalist in the 'Innovation in Service Delivery' category at the 2024 WA Mental Health Awards!

Following the unprecedented West Kimberley flood in January 2023, a collaborative effort by Marninwarntikura Women’s Resource Centre, Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services (KAMS), Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Service (BRAMS), and derby aboriginal health service gave rise to the Enhanced Response SEWB Consortium. Together, we acted swiftly to deliver vital Community-led social and emotional wellbeing support to the communities affected by the floods in the Fitzroy Valley.

This initiative exemplifies the power of partnership and Community-led response in times of crisis. It also reflects our shared vision of building strength and capacity within our communities, ensuring we are better prepared for future challenges.

Although we are proud of what has been accomplished, the journey continues. There remains a need to create sustainable wrap-around support models that foster healing for those experiencing challenges.

We look forward to the awards ceremony in November, when the winners will be announced. Fingers crossed!
