19.01.2022 Caring for someone with a mental health condition such as depression or anxiety can be challenging, but there are resources and support to help you in your cari...ng role. The most important thing to understand is that help is available, for you and the person you care for. What can you as a carer do to help? It’s important to help the person you care for understand that getting help is not a sign of weakness. Talk to their doctor, nurse or mental health professional about treatment options. To get a positive outcome from treatment: Develop a trusting relationship with a health professional and work together to find a suitable treatment Identify and work on factors which may have contributed to the mental health condition Continue with treatment for as long as needed. #carersmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

06.01.2022 Today is R U OK ? Day Please take a moment to reach out to a family member, friend, neighbour or work colleague. It could make a huge difference to that person's life . While our community has made great progress in normalising talking about mental health, the statistics of suicide are still shocking.... Suicide is the main cause of death for people aged 15-44. Last year, over half of us believed someone close to us seemed troubled and felt they needed to talk. Today, take time to reflect on what this question means, and ask at least 1 person how they’re feeling. This year we are encouraged to ask follow up questions if the answer is no, such as what’s been happening?, have you been feeling this way for a while? or what do you need from me? Do you personally need a hand ? Then reach out to either Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636, Lifeline on 13 11 14 or headspace on 8209 0700.
