Mental Health is serious and developing problem in many remote communities and radio can play an important role in promoting positive mental health.

Jaelea Skehan paid a courtesy visit to  ‘QRAM Central’ in her role as Program Manager in Mental Health at the Hunter Institute of Mental Health. She manages education and training for  the Mindframe National Media Initiative in Australia, aimed at promoting responsible and accurate portrayal of suicide and mental illness.
