Natural Therapy Pages – Investing in the Workforce

Anyone looking for a Complementary Health Practitioner will likely find them on Natural Therapy Pages, Australia’s largest directory of holistic health workers. Listing over 13,000 Australian natural health practitioners, Natural Therapy Pages has a quarter of a million visitors every month to their website. They also host the Natural Therapy Courses website to help provide support and information for people interested in studying a natural therapy course.

Thinking Outside the Box

Around 50% of all long-term mental health problems are preventable during infancy and childhood (ARACY, 2013). However, many of the earliest risks and difficulties occur during infancy and are either not noticed or are not serious enough to yet “qualify” for early intervention services…leaving many families to fall through the gaps.

Natural Therapy Pages uses an innovative approach to overcome some of these challenges by funding scholarships for massage therapists to complete training to deliver simple and effective community parent education, infant mental health promotion programs.  Many families use massage during pregnancy and after birth they already have a strong and trusting relationship with a massage therapist. By taking the program to where parents are already engaged, this partnership will help us reach up to a further 3,500 families over the next three years.

Fifty percent of adult mental illness is preventable with the right sort of infant and child mental health supports. Trials show the First Touch Program and its components can help reduce and even reverse some of these early risks.
By supporting training of people who parents already trust, this project helps us reach parents and babies who migh otherwise fall through the gaps.
