21.01.2022 In todays #meettheyrg we are introducing you to Youth Reference Group member Eloise! Eloise is a student at the University of Canberra studying a bachelor’s degree in software engineering. She is passionate about gender equality, mental health and disability advocacy. What have been some of your coping mechanisms whist dealing with world events over the past year and a half? Quarantine and online learning were really hard for me because I am very extroverted. So, I have defi...nitely been reaching out to friends and family to make sure that I am getting my fill of conversation. I have also been working on a lot of side projects that have been really exciting and keeping me busy. What is something that inspires you? Definitely seeing other women succeed, especially those in the field I am currently studying, Cyber security. It is such a male dominated industry that at times it can feel overwhelming but seeing other women smashing goals and stereotypes has been amazing! @marathonhealth @capitalhealthnetwork #headspace #canberra #mentalhealth #mindfulness #mentalhealthawareness #wellness #selflove #unicbr

09.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day. This year, the message is 'There's more to say after R U OK?' It's hard to know what to say if someone tells you they aren't ok.

After today, keep the conversation going and make each day a good day to check in with loved ones. A conversation could change a life....

09.01.2022 The practice of taking time off work for your mental health tends to be more of a grey area - especially in times like this. It may be all too easy to convince yourself that poor mental health isn't a good enough reason. But remember, your mental health is just as important as your physical health, just like bodily distress, your mind needs time to rest and recover. Swipe across for some tips on how to take a mental health day. 1 You don't need to go into detail or justif...y it to anyone. 2 Just like a sick day, do things that make you feel better. Do things that make you feel good, not what you think you should be doing. 3 Take a longer break if a single day-off isn't quite enough. Take action and reach out for more support.

08.01.2022 Check-in reminder: don't forget to check in on your strong friend, your happy friend and your quiet friend.
