Supporting mental health through BlackBirds Culture
At LaJala, giving back means supporting initiatives that nurture both people and communities.
That’s why we are proud to champion BlackBirds Culture, an Aboriginal and Māori–led social enterprise delivering accredited Mental Health First Aid courses.
culture and connection
BlackBirds Culture
Mental health isn’t always visible, but its impact is felt everywhere—from workplaces to families.
With only 22% of full-time workers experiencing symptoms receiving treatment, the need for support has never been greater.
BlackBirds Culture empowers people to recognise the signs, start conversations, and provide meaningful support before issues escalate.
Grounded in Aboriginal and Māori values, their training blends evidence-based practice with cultural safety and connection.
From Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid to Youth and Standard Mental Health First Aid, their programs are helping create stronger, healthier communities across Australia and New Zealand.
At LaJala, we believe comfort extends beyond what you wear—it’s about contributing to a world where wellbeing and connection thrive. Supporting BlackBirds Culture is one way we’re making that vision real.
