Welcome to the New Year, and welcome to the first issue of our newsletter for 2023.
We’ve got a big year planned, with new groups, growing service capacity and other exciting changes happening this year.
To kick off the year we are excited to share that an expansion of our Northern Hub is underway, and due to be finished in just a few short weeks. We share some information about the expansion below, including what it means for services at the hub.
Northern Hub: Be Well Plan is delivered over 5 weekly sessions x 2 hours each week.
Be Well Plan is the latest mental health and wellbeing training program from Be Well Co, an entity of the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), ranked number 40 in the world’s top research institutes.
Be Well Plan helps you better understand your own mental health and introduces you to tools and activities that are scientifically proven to improve your mental wellbeing.

The Reconnect Transition Program (RTP) helps people adjust to life with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) following a road trauma.
The course is facilitated by a psychologist who specialises in supporting people living with brain injury. The RTP also draws on the experience of peer mentors, who offer insights from their own journeys of recovery.
