25.01.2022 There is currently a 30% increase in Youth self-harm presentations in public hospitals in Victoria. Hear Patrick McGorry make the argument for more teachers and school staff to undertake MHFA training.

24.01.2022 A great article about a great man. Many thanks for your contributions Pat McGorry!

24.01.2022 An article calling for a school counselling ratio of 1:500 in NSW public schools and for MHFA training for all school teachers. We are a long way behind to achieve these two mesures.

24.01.2022 Dose # 1 - Yipee! Thanks NSW Health - it’s been a quick and painless process at Homebush.

19.01.2022 COVID - 19 and it’s impact on eating disorders - the mental health implications of lockdown are huge. Now more than ever we need to be taking care of each other

18.01.2022 Many young people in Ballina State Electorate completed a teen MHFA course with us in 2020. If you know a Year 10-12 student who did this course at school then please tag them in this post!

16.01.2022 Safer Communities applauds the great work of Butterfly Foundation. Very exciting to see a new facility for treatment in SE Qld.

13.01.2022 An interesting study looking at the nuances of OCD - a very misunderstood mental illness

10.01.2022 Mark has just turned 49 - here is a birthday fundraiser for our fav charity - Volunteer Building Cambodia, Australia supporting Volunteer Building Cambodia - VBC

08.01.2022 1. It’s ok not to be ok 2. Don’t loose hope 3. Reach out for support It’s so important that we all take great care of ourselves and one another during the pamdemic.

06.01.2022 Congratulations to A Prof. Jill Newby on her tall poppy award!

05.01.2022 Safer Communities was delighted to work with Early Childhood educators across NSW earlier this year to deliver mental health education to the sector workforce. Early intervention is so incredibly important. This article looks at the role healthcare workers can play in identification and treatment of emerging mental illness in young children. 3 in 4 who need support are not getting it. We can do better.

04.01.2022 Thankfully the data on Suicide rates during the pandemic are not yet elevated from 2019 data. However, we are not out of the woods yet. All the indicators are that we are at high risk of future deterioration of this situation.

04.01.2022 It’s tragic that these deaths continue to occur. Our policing and public health systems are failing people with complex mental illness.

02.01.2022 As we face the general distress of the pandemic, Australians with Eating Disorders are experiencing a particular set of conditions that can trigger episodes or shift a person into crisis. The numbers of Australians in treatment for an ED is rising.

01.01.2022 Take care of your own oxygen mask before assisting others. A good discussion about the importance of adults being mindful of modelling positive self-support behaviours for children

01.01.2022 We thought this looked like a neat comparison of the scale of the very very small risk of complications with Astra Zeneca Vaccine. It’s such a terrible dilema - our sensitivity and empathy goes to the one Australian family who lost a loved one to COVID-19 vaccine injury. There will likley be more experiences of this side effect. However, the same devastating grief and loss is being experienced by so many overseas. The scale of this pandemic is historical, the loss of life i...s in an order of magnitude that it is hard to make comparison to. In sheer numbers, possibly unprecedented. Safer Communities implores any person hesitant to COVID-19 vaccination to discuss the issue with a health professional to find out the real risk benefit situation around COVID-19 vaccination.
