BOYS IN BEDROOMS
THE PRISON OF THE MIND
Boys in Bedrooms: The Prison of the Mind has been written as a ‘call to action’ – a plea to free our young people from the incestuous over-nurturing and technology-addiction cycles that have become evident within many homes. Supporting young people to grow and/or heal by stepping into their adulthood is of paramount importance, both for their mental health as well as the overall health and protection of our nation.
Boys in Bedrooms: The Prison of the Mind contains a plethora of bounce-back strategies to help young people and their families break their cycles of social withdrawal and computer addiction.

Why Remote Workers Need Support?
Research reveals that changes – such as geographical and workplace, often forces an individual (and their families) into an arduous ’adjustment’ process. This transition process is characterised by a series of ‘stages’. It can feel harrowing as we move around the stages of change. For some, this transition experience results in “culture shock” with serious physical, emotional and psychological disruption.
Remote Worker Support Service endeavours to support individuals and their families to:-
- Respectfully transition to remote and very remote communities
- Maintain an understanding of the unique culture of the traditional owners of the land/s
- Understand the stages of adaptation
- Ensure that ongoing support is readily available
- To develop an awareness of strengths and weaknesses and how this can impact on cultural transition and burnout
- Develop a respectful bi-cultural framework.
Services include:
- Professional Supervision & General Counselling
- Rapid response telehealth support
- Preparation skills for transition to remote communities
- Cultural transition and application of the Get A Grip 6-Stage Model of Adaptation
