IGA to youth mental health worker, a steep learning curve for Shaana By DAVID DIXON
AT the local government election to be held on September 14, only one Ward in the Warren Shire will actually have to undertake a ballot. With three available councillor positions up for grabs in each of the Warren Shire Council’s four Wards, three of the Wards (A, B and D) only fielded three successfully nominated candidates. Only Ward C fielded more candidates than available positions, with five successfully nominated candidates declared by the NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) at the close of nominations on August 14.

Shaana is one of a group of locals who recently fi nished training in a ground-breaking initiative aimed at improving the mental health of Aboriginal youth in Western NSW. Still being mentored under the Aboriginal Wellness Worker Traineeship Program at Warren Youth Centre and Community Hub after completing her Certificate IV in Mental Health, she is, however, keen to get to grips with her new role. “I’m being appointed as a Youth Wellness Worker, and we’ve been told the scheme will be up-and-running by September 30 at the latest,” Shaana said.
