Webinar: A Session on Mental Health Concepts: Understanding Wellbeing Beyond Labels on Wednesday 25th August 2027 - 7:00pm - 8:30pm AEST

Where: Online

CPE: 1.5 CPE points

Mental health is something we all have, yet it is often misunderstood, surrounded by stigma, or reduced to diagnostic labels and clinical language. The reality is that our emotional wellbeing is shaped by far more than symptoms, it is influenced by our relationships, culture, life experiences, beliefs, and the communities we belong to.
This session offers an introduction to key mental health concepts through both a culturally responsive and counselling-informed lens. Together, we will explore what mental health and emotional wellbeing mean beyond diagnoses and labels, and reflect on how factors such as culture, trauma, grief, migration, relationships, and social connection can shape our experiences throughout life.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience in counselling, mental health, education, and community work, Jesica will also introduce the counselling perspective on mental health, one that sees the person before the problem. Counselling goes beyond labels and symptoms; it seeks to understand each person's unique story, strengths, values, and lived experiences, while empowering individuals to make meaningful changes that support their wellbeing and quality of life.
