25.01.2022 Current events will have a psychological impact on people in varying degrees, with some people being very vulnerable to the effects of social isolation, anxiety and feelings of powerlessness. Please, please ask for help if you are having suicidal thoughts. Please find below an app from Beyond Blue to create a safety plan to live. This can be worked out with family, friends and/or a health professional. If you are a concerned family member or friend, you can share this. Keep ourselves and those we care about safe. If you are in crisis, please ring Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 or Lifeline 131114 . Take care and keep well.

20.01.2022 Interesting research suggesting depression, anxiety and Adhd are adaptive responses to adversity...

14.01.2022 Kessler: "The loss of normalcy; the fear of economic toll; the loss of connection. This is hitting us and we’re grieving. Collectively." As we adjust to COVID-19 and it's effects, it is worthwhile knowing the grief stages and grief is not just confined to the death of a loved one, although this is also profound for many in our new reality. As empathetic people, we experience grief collectively.
