13.01.2022 Everyone goes through tough times in life, but not everyone seeks the help that they need. It might be easy to ignore how we’re feeling but eventually things start to build up and might make us feel even worse - that’s why it’s important to get the right help as soon as possible. Statistically, men seek help much less for their mental health because of a variety of reasons: a big one being stigma.... It is OKAY to not be okay. It is NORMAL. You are human. You will have a life full of ups and downs, but remember that you’re never alone in this image credit: @innsightful_ #mentalhealth #menshealth #mensmentalhealth #stigma #headspace #youthmentalhealth #internationalmensday #bankstown

12.01.2022 With the pressures from the outside world, as well as the pressures we put on ourselves, it can be really easy to burn out. Knowing this, it can be helpful to take a step back and reflect on the pressures we put on ourselves and to gently refocus into a more realistic mindset. What's a good way you like to shift your perspective into a more positive one?... image credit: @lizandmollie

12.01.2022 Being kind to yourself includes knowing that sometimes the expectations we place on ourselves exceed what a human is actually capable of doing with all of life’s lemons and challenges. It’s OK to not be as productive as you think you ~should~ be. Let’s all be more forgiving of ourselves, especially with all that’s happened this year. image credit: @swatercolour

12.01.2022 take this as a friendly sign

10.01.2022 We’ve all had to make adjustments this past year and a holiday during these times might not be possible. You can still give your mind a break - even if you can't physically take one. Check out the tool kit available at eheadspace.org.au to take small steps towards a healthy headspace.

06.01.2022 When things get tough and your mind turns to mush, it’s MORE THAN OKAY to ask for help.... in fact, it’s a really healthy way to manage your stress and workload. Who’s someone you can turn to for help? Try making a list or building up one if you don’t have many people to choose from.

05.01.2022 New week, new goals. What will you focus on this week?

04.01.2022 We had so much fun presenting to Year 11 today at Bankstown Girls High School! We spoke about the importance of maintaining a healthy headspace and managing stress. Thanks for having us

02.01.2022 If you notice that you often overthink about things, particularly if it's affecting your daily routine and life, it could be a good idea to check-in with someone. Certain situations or times can increase our stress levels and make us overthink even MORE, and you'll find a lot of people have this common issue. It's always helpful to get professional help early so you can maintain a healthy headspace.

01.01.2022 If you’ve used your 10 psychologist sessions in a year through a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you may be eligible for an extra 10 sessions. This has risen from the demand in mental health support during this challenging year. So, if you, or someone you know would benefit from these additional 10 psychologist sessions, get in touch with your GP or with us for more info and to book an appointment....
