24.01.2022 Things that happen in our lives can make us feel overwhelmed. This is normal and part of life, but if you're experiencing stress or sadness for longer than two weeks and you've stopped doing the things you love or sleeping- it could be depression. Talking about how you're feeling is one of the best ways to combat this, and you can start by chatting to loved ones or there are professionals that can help. Check out this video from Beyond Blue, and visit their website here for more information on who you can chat to: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-sup/get-immediate-support

23.01.2022 If you find yourself in the situation of being an accidental counsellor when a friend confides in you, it can be hard to know if you're doing or saying the right things. It's important to know you don't have to have all the answers, but you can be there for them. Here are some things you can say to keep the conversation going and help where you can: https://bit.ly/3lMqNhO

22.01.2022 The Hobart Clinic announces new Clinical Director Media release Wednesday, 16 December 2020... Tasmania’s leading private, not-for-profit mental health treatment centre, The Hobart Clinic, is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Hannah Lake as its Clinical Director, following the retirement of its long-standing Clinical Director, Dr Michael Davie. Dr Lake is a psychiatrist at The Hobart Clinic, having returned from two years in Melbourne, where she worked in the Department of Neuropsychiatry at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. She graduated in medicine from Monash University and trained as a junior doctor at the Royal Hobart Hospital. Dr Lake has a particular interest in organic brain disorders including young onset dementias and other neurodegenerative diseases including Multiple Sclerosis and Huntington’s Disease. The Hobart Clinic Chair Gayle Johnston said the appointment was made following an extensive recruitment process with candidates from interstate and overseas. Dr Lake has demonstrated her leadership, strategic, whole of Clinic thinking and sound clinical management since commencing with us, Ms Johnston said. With the Clinic redevelopment commencing early in 2021, as well as a new strategy under development, we were looking for an incoming Clinical Director who is adept at change management and able to build on the strong foundation left by Dr Davie. Ms Johnston described Dr Lake as a talented, committed and driven professional. We believe Dr Lake will work seamlessly with the Clinic Executive and the Board to drive the organisation through this coming period of change, using her expertise and experience to place a clinical lens over all strategic decisions. We are confident she will progress the Hobart Clinic towards a centre of excellence in the delivery of private mental health services in Tasmania. Dr Lake will commence in the role on 1 February 2021. For more information: David Abbott, Font PR, 0400 446 736
