4. We give back to the community
When we started a PsychDirect we had two important missions. The first was to make a website where is was easy for people to find a psychologist or counsellor. The second was to create a business that gave back from the outset. This is why we are thrilled to have partnered with the The Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health.
The Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health, (“The Jilya Institute”, or “Jilya”) is an Aboriginal Community Controlled not for profit organisation, registered as a charity with the Australian Charity and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
Jilya was created in response to the 13 deaths of Aboriginal young people in the Kimberley, the subject of the 2019 Fogliani Coronial Inquiry. These deaths, and the continuing deaths of Aboriginal people by suicide, compelled Dr Tracy Westerman AM to act and do something to support improved access to culturally and clinically complex mental health services which could provide measurable outcomes for high risk communities. She commenced the first Indigenous Psychology Scholarship Program with a personal donation of $50,000. Since then, and in just TWO years they are supporting FORTY ONE Indigenous Psychology Students to ensure there is more capacity on the treatment side and to ensure that never again shall a child die from want in a world of excess.
Jilya’s vision is to reduce Indigenous suicides, build resilience and strengthen wellbeing in Indigenous Australians. We hope to achieve this through leading the development of culturally and clinically informed mental health and suicide prevention responses, and increasing the number of Indigenous Psychologists working in Australia, in our highest risk regional and remote communities. At PsychDirect we’re thrilled to donate a portion of money received to support Jilya.
