I come to you today in great sadness and with some relief as somebody close to me tried to take their life this week. I talk about the impact that that's had on me on STP. The experience of suicide is not a one size fits all proposition. It affects people in diverse ways. Over next couple of weeks on STP we're going to be talking about the three ways that suicide has affected me. 1 My suicide atte...

The experience of suicide is not a one size fits all proposition. It affects people in diverse ways. Over next couple of weeks on STP we're going to be talking about the three ways that suicide has affected me. 1 My suicide attempt 2 My friend’s suicide 3 My child's suicide attempt https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09BC229P1/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=shattered+the+book&qid=1627454085&s...

On STP we're all about having the conversations around mental illness. A few weeks ago, I did an episode on suicidal ideation, and I was actually really surprised at how many people had questions. It's funny when you're in the mental health space. You can feel like what you're talking about is completely 100% normal and it's the normal shared experience. But it isn't. So, we're going to dive in an...

Regeneration movie review Regeneration is possibly the most important movie we will discuss as part of 11 for 11/11 wart movies and mental illness. It tells the story of the early efforts to ‘cure’ and or treat those soldiers suffering from ‘shell shock’. 309 men were executed during WW1 for cowardice. Each of these men’s records confirm they were suffering from ‘shell shock’ or, as we know it, PT...

They can’t all be gold. In fact, some war movies get it so wrong it has to called out. So here are my dishonourable mentions for war movies that got mental illness wrong, badly, or perpetuated negative stereotypes. In the lead up to 11/11 we're going to be reviewing a different war film every day and looking at the depictions of mental illness in them. Let us know what film you'd like me to review...

So over the course of mental health month I've heard a lot of talk about suicide ideation. I thought it was fairly straightforward until a couple of people ask me a few questions about it. Suicidal ideation is the broad term that describes a preoccupation with death, suicide, or self-harm. What is it? How does it come on who does it affect and what is some of the outcomes that people can have. Tha...

Stigma. It's a word that we hear more and more in the mental health space. But what is it? What does it mean? How does it work? What does it look like? We're going to talk about that on STP. One of my jobs this October is to educate people as to the reality of living with a mental illness. NOT so you'll feel sorry for me but rather that you can know that you are not alone. Awareness is about under...

You know he's not doing well! Your kids know not doing well! He thinks he's hiding it! Whenever you bring it up, he shouts you down. So how do you have that conversation effectively?

This week's episode is a hard one. It's one that I don't necessarily want to make but I think it's important. It's about domestic violence and how mental illness is no excuse for that violence. I was told recently about a domestic violence situation where the victim said that it was okay because they had a mental illness. I want to challenge that today.  I want to discuss it honestly and fair...

So I've got to admit I've had a bit of a hard week- for the first time ever I pulled out of 1 of my classroom conversations. We're going to talk about that today and discuss whether it was a fail or a win. Sometimes when we fail, we're actually winning. It's a bizarre dichotomy and it's what we're going to talk about on STP today. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09BC229P1/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&ke...

You will fail... hate to break it to you like that. But failure is not the end of the story.... unless you let it be. You can choose the other option. Failure is only a true fail when you quit. Failure and quitting are 2 completely different things.
