Murdoch University, in collaboration with Neami and Moorditj Koort, invites you to Moorditj Kaat Kadadjiny - Good Mind Learning, a critical event bringing together First Nations leaders, researchers, and people with lived experience to lead essential conversations on mental health and suicide prevention.
Held the same week as Close the Gap Day, this forum provides an opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and community voices in a culturally responsive and impactful discussion.
The event is open to mental health practitioners, wellbeing professionals, researchers, students, community members, and anyone working with or supporting First Nations peoples.
This will be a hybrid event, allowing participants to attend in person at Murdoch University or join virtually. During the registration process, please carefully select whether you will be attending in person or online, as this will help us ensure a smooth experience for all participants.
