19.01.2022 It is Men's Health week this week. For more information see http://www.menshealthweek.org.au/

18.01.2022 During recent times of emotional and social distancing, bushfires and pandemic responses, many people will have been experiencing increasing emotional distress. Our connectedness has been challenged and our daily norms fractured. Entering into a therapeutic relationship at this time can be a means of escape while you work through your personal issues. Counselling can provide you with the necessary insights to see how past conflicts and hurts are still negatively impacting you. Counselling also offers you the opportunity to explore your problems in a safe , confidential space to alleviate personal distress and to begin to let go of problematic attitudes, beliefs and values. These may have served you well in the past, but may now be causing you to feel trapped or stuck.

03.01.2022 It’s R U Okay tomorrow. Here is a story that reminds us why and what it means to be a friend; it really resonates this year: It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyore's house. Inside the house was Eeyore.... "Hello Eeyore," said Pooh. "Hello Pooh. Hello Piglet" said Eeyore, in a glum sounding voice. "We just thought we'd check on you," said Piglet, "because we hadn't heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay." Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I don't know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? That's what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all. Which is why I haven't bothered you. Because you wouldn't want to waste your time with someone who is sad, and alone, and not much fun to be around at all, would you now." Pooh looked and Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house. Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?" "We're sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends don't care if someone is feeling sad, or alone, or not much fun to be around at all. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are." "Oh," said Eeyore. "Oh." And the three of them sat there in silence, and while Pooh and Piglet said nothing at all; somehow, almost imperceptibly, Eeyore started to feel a very tiny little bit better. Because Pooh and Piglet were there. No more; no less. Author - AA Milne

02.01.2022 The world marks the 30th anniversary of the International Day of Older Persons as we reckon with the disproportionate and severe impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought on older persons around the world not only on their health, but on their rights and well-being. UN Secretary-General António Guterres

01.01.2022 In this episode of #UnlockingUs, I talk to Judd Apatow, who has directed, produced, and written many of the biggest comedy films and hit TV shows of the last tw...o decades - including one of my all time favorite movies, "The Big Sick." We look at what's funny, why it's funny, and why laughter creates connection. We also talk about his new film, "The King of Staten Island" and the thin line between humor and grief. What does it take to tell the stories of our lives in a way that allows us to recognize ourselves and our shared humanity? Listen to the full episode here: https://bit.ly/3838rTQ
