25.01.2022 It’s hard not to feel stressed, anxious, or depressed in a pandemic, isn’t it? But in difficult times like these, it’s essential to do all you can to reduce stress. Why? Because chronic stress combined with feelings of isolation and loneliness can alter the function and structure of the brain, and lead to anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.
25.01.2022 Thanks to all the men who came to our meet up today! Great to catch up with everyone again, to listen and support each other! Our next meet up is on the 4th of October. TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER
24.01.2022 As parents, we constantly strive to meet an invisible threshold that only moves further away the closer we get to it. How utterly exhausting and demoralizing th...is is! We hoard resources for fear that our child is going to miss out on an opportunity and will fall behind (without giving thought to all the children we push behind in so doing). We often care give alone or with little help, regardless of whether there is a global pandemic forcing us into isolation. Our interactions with our children are more controlled and less compassionate. We tend to overprotect and exert excessive power over our children leaving them with little room to make their own decisions, mistakes, and solutions. Setting realistic and attainable intentions every day leaves space for you to be more present with your child, to be more creative with your time together, to be more loving and compassionate, to be more satisfied. You and your child feel loved. That’s it. -Rachel Mills-Brantley, MSW, LCSW
23.01.2022 Riverina Bluebell and Walk 'n' Talk For Life Wagga are calling out to the community to help us share this new initiative to help mental health in our region. If you are in the Riverina please share, or forward to a friend who might be interested. Thanks for your support. Together as a community, we can make a difference.
21.01.2022 Wherever you're at is okay. Its okay to speak up and get help. Its brave. This graphic, or one similar can help you communicate more easily to your loved one...s about where you are emotionally. If you find yourself in the yellow or orange zones make sure to reach out to someone you trust and tell them how you're feeling. If you feel like there is no one you can talk to, come along to your closest Walk 'n' Talk event, there is always a kind ear waiting. Its probably best to also book an appointment with your GP to see what options are available. While you're waiting for your appointment make sure to brainstorm as many self care ideas as possible and try to implement them into your day. Ask for help and encouragement from your loved ones if that's what you need to get you through for a bit. If you are in the red, have no one to talk to and can't get into a doctor today, try: Lifeline 13 11 14 Open 24/7 Lifeline Crisis Support online chat Open 7pm - midnight, 7 days a week Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467 Open 24/7 If you, or someone you know, are in immediate danger, please call 000 or go to your nearest hospital Emergency Department. #WalknTalkForLife #MentalHealthAustralia #SelfCare
18.01.2022 If you’re dealing with anxiety, it can be tough to keep going, and while there are a lot of ways to reduce anxiety in your life, we found some very specific opt...ions that you may want to try. "Individuals should seek professional help if they have tried to control the anxiety and worrying with no success, and it has lasted for at least six months, Poag says. Or when anxiety begins to negatively impact relationships, work, or routine tasks. Stress and anxiety might be unavoidable, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take steps to prevent them from negatively impacting our lives. Try these below...
15.01.2022 It's hard to find the right words to say, no matter how much you care. Here are some brilliant suggestions from The Resilience Centre.

12.01.2022 Don't let your brain bully you. Thoughts are not facts. Great reminder of this from @innsightful_ thankyou. Learning CBT Skills can help you understand your th...oughts and emotions, and gives you tools to work with when those negative thoughts try to get you down. #WalknTalkForLife #MentalHealthAustralia #mentalhealthsupport See more
12.01.2022 Apologizing when we’ve clearly hurt someone else, violated a rule, or done something we know to be wrong is a necessary step in repairing the social fabric that... keeps us connected to other people. But saying sorry for stuff we aren’t responsible for not only invalidates us and reinforces feelings of low self-worth, it can trivialize the act of apologizing and give others the impression we’re less capable. Much of getting over the impulse to beg forgiveness for things we aren’t responsible for involves cultivating a tolerance for the discomfort of awkward situations as well as greater self-compassion, Breines says. It’s not easy to suddenly shift your behavior. But studies do show that, in some cases, withholding apologies can be empowering. So next time you find yourself inclined to say sorry, take a breath, pause, and ask yourself whether you’re really to blame. If not, no sorry necessary.
10.01.2022 It can seem like someone has it all together- but remember, you never know how they're feeling inside. Reach out and connect. #walkntalkforlife Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia Wagga Wagga Nsw
07.01.2022 We are passionate about helping improve the mental health of our regional and rural communities; we know even pre- 2020; they were doing it rough with less acce...ss to services and support. Walk 'n' Talk For Life Wagga is partnering with Riverina Bluebell to help connect with Farmers and their Families to get your stories out. We are running a series of professional podcasts, where we will come to your property and give you an opportunity to speak up and show people who may be struggling that they are not alone. We want to help people understand what you are going through, and how they can help support you. If this interests you or someone you know, please inbox us for the contact email.

06.01.2022 A great reminder to be an "open responder" to be more aware of how our loved ones may be feeling and a great reminder to clearly communicate how you are feeling to your loved ones. It's the best way for them to understand.

05.01.2022 Thanks @holisticallygrace for todays helpful graphic.
04.01.2022 To increase understanding about suicide and to better support those affected by suicide, we need to challenge commonly held myths and misconceptions. These fals...e assumptions can feed stigma and discrimination and prevent individuals from seeking the support they need. Due to the complexity of suicide and of life itself it helps to avoid using absolutes such as all people, every attempt, or making declarative or definitive statements. The reasons people take their own life are very complex. There is no single reason why a person attempts or dies by suicide. While there may be commonalities among individual lived experiences of suicide, each person’s circumstances are particular to them.
