Brooke Coleman and Mark Chapman both work in the Mental Health Hub at Wellways in Warrnambool, Australia. Like so many people who work in the care industry, they have their own lived experience and stories that led them to to the important work that they do today.
In this episode, you will not only learn about their paths but how Wellways is making a difference to so many lives across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria and is growing every day.
Wellways is now a huge organisation working with many research groups including Monash University and supports people of all ages, abilities, identities and cultures. They offer support and advice on disability, family and carer services, suicide prevention, teenage issues, men’s mental health, housing and homelessness, wellbeing and mental health and so much more. One of the greatest things is, you don’t need a referral to get in touch and begin working with this incredible organisation.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
