Calling rural and remote psychologists!
RRAPP'd to be here.
If you are a rural and remote psychologist working in NSW you might be
interested in joining our Rural and Remote Area Psychologist Project
(RRAPP). Funded with a small grant from the NSW psychologists council the
project has over a hundred members made up of a full range of psychologists
from provisional through to clinical. Support can include direct
supervision, access to peer supervision groups, mentoring, free training in
evidenced based therapies, access to an interactive and supportive blog and
more.
A full description of the project can be viewed here to
InPsych where the project was recently featured.
This project is primarily about recognising and supporting the unique role
rural psychologists play in providing mental health services. New
participants will be asked to fill in an online survey and will then gain
access to the blog. Interstate psychologists interested in joining should
make contact with the project officer Graham Parry and you
will be added to a database.

Cosy Blanket Project
Knitting is a great way to relax and help others keep warm. This stress-buster knitting project is great idea is to click-clack your way to inner tranquility while making blankets to be given to those in need.
We'll turn your squares into cosy blankets made from the heart. We'll be working with charitable organisations to help identify people who could use a cosy blanket.
You don't have to knit a whole blanket, a few squares will do. Even if you are not a knitter, its easy peasy! Here are a few simple guidelines to follow:
To make a 25cm knitted square
* Use 8-ply 100% Acrylic, any colour or brand
* Cast on 51-55 stitches using 4mm knitting needles (depending on your tension)
* Work until piece measures 25cm in garter stitch (continuous plain knitting)
BSS will happily provide the needles and wool free of charge. Please send knitted squares to:
Bush Support Services, CRANAplus, PMB 203, Alice Springs, NT 0872.
Contact us today at 08-8959-1110 or email bss@crana.org.au to order your knitting kit.
