It is important, now more than ever, to help destigmatise what it's like to pick up that phone and reach out to a support service, because it is our main avenue at the present time and we don't know how long that is going to be the case.
Feeling overwhelmed by the pandemic's isolation and uncertainty? You're not alone. This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives into the struggles many Australians face as they seek mental health support for the first time. A representative from Beyond Blue joins the conversation to share practical advice on how to navigate this challenging period. They discuss accessible options like mindfulness practices, remote therapy, and self-help tools, all aimed at making mental health support more reachable for everyone.
The episode also tackles the stigma often associated with seeking help, emphasizing that it's a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether you're new to mental health support or looking for additional resources, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
