50 Years Deadly 🖤💛❤️

This NAIDOC Week, WellMob celebrates 50 years of honouring the strength, culture and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Strong social and emotional wellbeing comes from connection to culture, Country, community, family and identity. As we reflect on the legacy of those who came before us, we also celebrate the next generation carrying that strength forward.

50 years deadly. Strong culture. Strong wellbeing. Strong futures ✨💪🏽

Mabo Day - 3 June
Today we acknowledge Mabo Day, marking the 1992 High Court decision that recognised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights to land and overturned the idea of terra nullius.

This decision was a powerful step toward truth and justice, recognising the deep and ongoing connection to Country that has always existed.

For social and emotional wellbeing, connection to culture, identity, and land is everything. Mabo Day reminds us of the strength of community, the importance of standing strong in who you are, and continuing the journey toward healing and recognition.

Take time today to reflect, learn, and acknowledge the significance of this day.

National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June) is a time to reflect, learn, and take action. These dates mark important milestones, the 1967 Referendum and the Mabo decision, in Australia’s reconciliation journey.

This year’s theme, ‘All In’, reminds us that reconciliation lives in our everyday actions and is a shared responsibility.

At WellMob, being ‘All In’ means continuing to listen, learn, and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led approaches to wellbeing.

We remain committed to sharing culturally safe, strengths-based digital resources grounded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being, and doing.

This week, we encourage everyone to take time to reflect, engage, and support initiatives that foster healing, connection, and self-determination.

Reconciliation is ongoing, and it grows stronger when we are all in, together.

On National Sorry Day,
we honour the strength and resilience of
Stolen Generations survivors.

The truth of forced removal must be acknowledged.
Healing must be supported.

Saying sorry matters.
But sorry without action is not enough.

Nearly 30 years on from Bringing Them Home Report, many recommendations remain unmet.

We cannot wait another generation.

We must move from Sorry to Action.

It was an honor and privilege to deliver training for the deadly workers at the Aboriginal SEWB Centre in Kaurna country on 21 June.

This service walks the talk of embedding SEWB at the heart of the support services it provides for the diverse mob who call Kauna country home.

The workshop was practical 2-way learning, exploring how they can use WellMob resources whilst understanding their use of the Stay Strong Care plan for their intake assessment and goal setting with clients.

Today, on World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we’re reflecting on what psychosocial safety really means for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) workers.

We asked our colleague Tiarnee to share why psychosocial safety matters and what it looks like in practice, beyond individual resilience and self‑care. This reflection speaks to a reality we hear often: the work doesn’t stop at 5pm, and neither does the load. Psychosocial safety means recognising the cultural, emotional and colonial weight SEWB workers carry, and ensuring our systems, funding and leadership are strong enough to hold the people who hold our communities.

Tiarnee has also shared deeper reflections through multiple eMHPrac blogs on making self‑care a supported part of practice, and on what genuine workplace wellbeing looks like for First Nations health and wellbeing workers. Both pieces remind us that care cannot sit with individuals alone, systems, leadership and structures must be strong enough to hold the workforce.

Supporting SEWB workers is not optional. It is core workforce safety.

Every story has an origin.
Ours began with this seed pod, a natural symbol that became the heart of the WellMob logo, reflecting healing, growth, and community coming together ❤️

The logo and artwork for the icons were created by artist Frances Belle Parker, a descendant of the Yaegl people.

Frances says:
“The leaf design came about when I initially thought about what it is that actually makes our mob well? The leaf is a holistic way of looking at our wellness, particularly when I have coupled it with figures which also represent the veins of the leaf. These figures represent a strength, a sense of belonging, a part of coming together and healing.
These figures also represent the veins which we see in nature. Like the waterways, these veins depict the life-giving blood which makes it possible for us to thrive as a people. The design can also be viewed as a seed pod. In that sense it becomes a place of nurture, a place where we are embraced and allowed to heal and come out of our shell. We are all in it together, to heal, to be and to do well.”

Today is National Close the Gap Day 🙌🏽

We stand together for health equity and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.�Closing the gap means more than statistics, it means culturally safe care, strong connections to culture and community, and systems that listen, respect and respond.

At WellMob, we believe healing happens our way, grounded in culture, community and self‑determination

🖤💛❤️💙💚🤍
