The Positive Influences of Music on Mental Health

“Music is a universal language for everyone, it helps relax people.” Brian Clyne

MHACA recently funded a music project to increase the wellbeing of our participants, acknowledging the positive and powerful influence that music has on peoples mental wellbeing. ‘Kututu’ in Pitjantjatjara means heart, and the foundation for the Kututu Wattleseeds is based in mediation and mindfulness from which music is then created.

MHACA would like to thank Lucia Swift of Sound Wellness for coordinating this project, Pin Rada for production and the MHACA participants for sharing their stories.

⚠️ TODAY: AusAlert National Test at 1:30pm NT time

At 1:30 pm NT time today, the AusAlert national test will activate on compatible mobile phones, tablets and smart watches across Australia.

Compatible devices will:
🔊 Play a loud, siren-like alarm for around 10 seconds – even if your device is on silent or Do Not Disturb
📳 Vibrate
📄 Display a message clearly stating that this is only a test

The alarm is designed to get your attention and may be distressing for some people, including those affected by domestic, family and sexual violence, people living with PTSD, and those with sensory sensitivities.

If you or someone you support may be affected, consider:
☑Turning devices off or switching to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time
☑ Leaving devices off for at least one hour
☑ Talking through a safety plan in advance if needed

You do not need to take any action if you receive the test alert.
