In this episode of Untidy we talk to the iconic Kiwi entertainer, now, mental health advocate Mike King. Mike gives us a warts-and-all account of his evolution from an edgy and turbulent life as a breakthrough comedian, to his life-threatening reckoning that changed his path forever. Mike is now the founder of I Am Hope Foundation and initiative, Gumboot Friday, which fundraises to provide free and timely counselling for young people across Aotearoa. Mike is not afraid to rattle some cages as he works towards societal change that will positively impact the devastating suicide statistics amongst our rangitahi in New Zealand.  We discuss the inner critic that lives inside of all of us and how this is where anxiety and depression stem. Through being honest about our own experiences, thoughts and feelings, we can parent our tamariki in a way that they understand they are not alone, they are worthwhile, and they are valued to give them a brighter future.  Help Hannah and her team, Tuk Tuk Boom, raise vital funds for Gumboot Friday through their Givealittle page https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/tuk-tuk-boom as they race a tuk tuk around Sri Lanka!

Trigger warning: This episode touches on postnatal depression.  If it's triggering, you can call PANDA's Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Helpline on 1300 726 306.  This week's guest is Kirsty - a dear friend of mine. She suffered from postnatal depression (PND) four months after the birth of her first daughter, Frankie. During labor she experienced a placental abruption - the placenta detached from the inner wall of the womb, depriving Frankie of oxygen and nutrients. She had an emergency C-section, and little Frankie was in NICU for days before Kirsty could even hold her.  According to @pandanational, 1 in 7 new mums and 1 in 10 new dads in Australia experience postnatal depression. Symptoms include panic attacks, persistent, generalised worry often focused on fears for the health or wellbeing of baby, sleep problems unrelated to the baby's needs, extreme leathery, feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with day-to-day life, changes in appetite: under or overeating, increased sensitivity to noise or touch and more. Kirsty is such a strong woman and will teach you a lot about opening up about trauma and mental health. If you think you have PND, book an appointment with a health care specialist before self-diagnosing.

Psychologists are turning away as many as 60 clients a month because they have no space to see them.They say the situation is heartbreaking and they worry about what is happening to those they can not help.Porirua and Wellington clinical psychologist Annie Talbot feared the lack of care in the community would lead to a tsunami of serious mental health problems."It is a daily occurrence of having to turn people away and me having to actually say 'I don't think I can run a wait list anymore' because I don't know when I am going to finish up with clients or when I'll have capacity," she said.Nelson psychologist Kris Garstang said demand was at an all-time high as the stigma about seeking help for mental health problems fell away.She struggled to deal with all the emails, phone calls and texts from people so had a phone message saying she could not take more clients.Wellington psychologist Giselle Bahr turned away about 15 people a week and said her colleagues tried to help where they could but it was hard because everybody else was full.The private psychologists, who work in the community, mostly dealt with people who were not acutely unwell but could be dealing with conditions like anxiety or depression that could have a big impact on their lives and their families.Talbot said they were incredibly courageous and tended to put their best foot forward."But often it's at home, or those quiet places where no one can see, that things start to fall apart. If that's left too long without a proper scaffold or support around it, it can really lead to that serious or risky end," she said.The College of Clinical Psychologists discovered the issue after surveying its members.Executive advisor Paul Skirrow said he was shocked at how many were having to turn people away, and the situation was a barometer for the overall state of the mental health system."The private system always used to be the overflow from the public system, but now we're getting to the point where the overflow is overflowing," he said.The government promised an overhaul of the country's mental health system but very little concrete has changed.A few more training places had opened up for clinical psychologists but not nearly enough, especially considering a lot of people were keen to do the training, Skirrow said.Training more would be a major practical step to helping solve the problem, he said."It's going to take three years at least to training a psychologist from graduate level so we need to start right now," he said.Anyone struggling to get help should put themselves on a wait list, even if it was a long wait, to get help when it became available or to look for other practitioners on the College's website, he saidIn the meantime, they could seek support from their GP.Where to get help:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

My bro Rob is an awesome Maori performer and writer - and back in 2009 he attempted to take his own life in a very violent way.... His story to becoming the person he is today that helps inspire and teach people about self love and self care is a story that needs to be heard to be believed.

This week we look at some of the mental stresses that your favourite veterinary professionals are under so you can get a better understanding of what it's like to walk a few kms in their shoes.This episode touches on some painful issues - like suicide. [You don't have to listen to those facts if you don't want to.  I'll let you know before we get to those so you can stop listening at that point.]We'll compare the cost of human medicine vs animal medicine.You'll understand - hopefully - why all those veterinary tests are essential to animal care & welfare.In this episode we'll talk about how stressful and hurtful it must be to hear day-in & day-out that veterinary professionals don't care enough because they won't work for free.Compassion fatigue in veterinary medicine is a result of veterinary clinicians – doctors and nurses - taking on the emotional burden of the sad and bad things that happen to their animal patients.  It's a form of mental trauma, resulting in the dulling of the ability to feel and care for others in their lives.JULIE'S PETITION TO PARLIAMENT TO LET MORE VETS INTO NEW ZEALAND Click here to add your name to her petition = all signatures are confidential.EMERGENCY CARE CONTACT NUMBERS - NEW ZEALAND Lifeline: 0800 543 354 or text HELP to 4357Suicide Crisis Helpline: 0508 828 865 / 0508 TAUTOKO (24/7).

In the wake of the murders of Hannah Clarke and her three children by a former New Zealander who burnt his family to death and then killed himself with a knife, which takes a lot of doing, there has been much wringing of hands.But some are saying we must do something to prevent this from happening to one more woman, one more child.In Australia, Heather Nancarrow, the chief executive of the Australian National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety, proposed a dramatic policy.She reckons that during the period of separation, every man must be put on a program. Their mental health should be checked and scrutinised for signs of violence.  All to make sure he is making the transition safely and does not become a risk to women, children or themselves.Even Heather Nancarrow admits her idea is a radical one and it’s easy to pull it apart on logistics only.  And when we concentrate on one gender only in the relationship transition process, we’re ignoring the vast majority of people going through this highly stressful and emotional time.The proof of this was during morning talk back where we instantly had men saying that women were not blameless or just as bad but in different ways or just as capable of killing if they put their mind to it.  And then the whole battle of the sexes resumes.Heather Nancarrow has viewed this solely from the point of view of women’s safety and safety from male violence. All of which exists and deserves attention.But in my 30 years of being around relationships, I’ve seen many break ups and some that were hugely traumatic.  None of the break ups of people I have known has devolved into interpersonal violence.  But that’s not to say there weren’t victims. Amongst my acquaintances, two people have lost their lives after a relationship dissolution.But their death didn’t come at the hands of another but from their own hand. They committed suicide. Both were the wronged party, the one left behind by their partner. Both found it intolerable to live after the betrayal, impossible to carry on without the love of their life who had left them. One was a woman.  One was a man.Heather Nancarrow is right that men kill their partners at a worrying rate during separations and we need to be watching out for the men whose switch has flipped.  She’s right to be concerned about people’s mental state at a time of separation.  She is right that we should be on alert for our family and friends at these times.  She’s right that if we’re concerned there should be a pathway or a resource we can access to help steer people away from the dark side.What she got wrong is leaving out women from the monitoring.  Separation stress and trauma doesn’t just drive men crazy.  It’s not gender specific.Where to get help:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

Well today if you don't want to listen to Newstalk ZB can I suggest you tune into Radio Hauraki.You won't often hear a presenter say that because every listener is precious and you don't want to invite them to leave. But I'm pretty sure that if ZB is your station and you sample Hauraki, you'll enjoy it, but you'll be back soon enough.But there's a reason for me telling you to listen to Hauraki today. They're pulling a stunt but it's a stunt with a heart and a serious message.Today, Radio Hauraki is not talking. They're cutting all announcers, all news, all weather and, most surprisingly for a commercial radio station, all ads,Now a station that only plays music sounds pretty sweet but it's not a ratings trick but a bid to raise awareness for men's mental health.They're calling it "No Talk Day" and it has a slogan, of course, "We're not talking, to get men to start."This counter-intuitive idea is to highlight how men in particular, when faced with bad times, clam up. They don't look for help. They don't reach out. They don't talk. When I first heard the idea I thought it was bonkers as the station is doing exactly what they say men shouldn't. They're clamming up. Surely they should be talking more. Talking about feelings, hopes and fears and how to cope with the maelstrom that is emotion.Turns out Hauraki is still talking. The only people you will hear between the tunes are well-known New Zealanders sharing personal stories about their experiences with mental health issues. They'll be telling men in particular to talk.So all this raises interesting questions that the media face all the time. When we talk about suicide in the media we don't talk about it. When well known New Zealanders “die suddenly” and “police say there are no suspicious circumstances” we all know damn well that they've committed suicide.When papers write up these sudden deaths and place a slew of emergency contact numbers below it then again we know what's happened. But not exactly what happened.The thinking behind the media not stating that the cause of death was self inflicted is to stop the glamourisation of suicide. It's the “death that shall not be named” in case other vulnerable people are suddenly inspired by a well known person's suicide.This is self delusional balderdash in my opinion. I have known far too many “well known” people who have committed suicide. Not only has the s word never been associated with their name but the manner of their deaths are not known.Most of those details are horrific. The violence and the pain. Even worse are the partially successful attempts that left the person trying to leave a world of emotional pain in a world of physical pain and suffering beyond comprehension.We need to talk more and more honestly. The polite dancing around the horror of suicide does more to glamourise it than anything else.WHERE TO GET HELP:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

The cancellation of the Jeremy Kyle Show is sparking a major debate about reality TV in the UK.British broadcaster ITV has permanently cancelled the tabloid talk show, which had run for 14 years and specialized in emotive, confrontational showdowns. It comes after 63-year-old Steve Dymond was found dead at a home in Portsmouth, southern England, on May 9 shortly after his appearance on the programme. Media reported that he had killed himself. Police said the death was not suspicious, and a post-mortem will be held to determine the cause.On an episode filmed earlier this month, Dymond took a lie-detector test to convince his fiancee that he had not been unfaithful, but was told he had failed.Other stories are now emerging of traumatic events being linked to the show, and deaths stemming from other shows such as Love Island UK. UK correspondent Stuart Hughes told Kerre McIvor that a pattern is beginning to emerge, and TV makers are being accused of failing in their duty of care."That duty of care issue is one that is going to be addressed at a much deeper level by TV executives, and now parliamentarians are wading in."One of those MPs is the Prime Minister herself, with Downing Street releasing a statement calling the case "deeply disturbing". "Broadcasters and production companies have a responsibility for the mental health and well-being of participants and viewers of their programmes," they said."We are clear they must have appropriate levels of support in place."Hughes says that the bad headlines are building up, and MPs are being forced to act. "The issue with these programmes is are they putting people at risk who might be vulnerable, at a point in their lives where they are unable to foresee the consequences for them and their families." TVNZ has announced they too have pulled the show from their schedule. Where to get help:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

So for one day, let's all put on our gumboots and walk through mud with them, and signal to people that we do care and we want to do something about it."He said it's about "Kiwi fun" as well as helping to raise money and awareness."How much more Kiwi can you get than putting on your suit and tie and going to work in gumboots?"King said the money will be used to make it easier for kids to access free counselling."The biggest crisis facing our young people at the moment and their parents, is getting them into face to face counselling."He said free care is available but only if you have been diagnosed with a mental health problem by a doctor."This way, you just go along to the counsellor and make the booking yourself and we pay for it."The "staunch" attitude we are teaching our kids has to stop, King said."Our hard and staunch attitude that we have been teaching them is killing them.""Last year 137 young people took their own lives because they didn't feel like they could open up and talk about their issues and something has to be done about that.""We all have problems and we all get up every morning and put on our happy masks and we walk off to work pretending that everything is right with the world and it's a bad example that we are setting for our kids."He said everyone has problems and we need to normalise talking about them.Gumboot Friday events• 9am to noon: Gumboot Friday Dog Walk, Yatton Park, Merivale• Noon to 9pm: Gumboot Golf, Masonic Park, The Strand • Anytime: Donate via the I AM HOPE Givealittle page, in Kiwibank or PostShop branches, at participating stores or direct to account 38 9020 0336055 01.Where to get help:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

How do you get your life back on track when everything seems set against you?That's the question Tim Roxborogh put to listeners today, after the tragic story of the fatal police pursuit crash in Christchurch.The three victims were all teenagers, two of them just 13. They died after fleeing police in a stolen car, their lives coming to a fiery end after crashing into a tree.An article today suggested that the one of the boys, Brooklyn Taylor, had his life course pre-determined from the age of four.Roxborogh asked listeners if their life had gone down the wrong path at any point, and how they got out of it. Multiple callers shared their stories of how they turned their lives around.Amongst them was Steve told of how he stopped fighting and stealing thanks to a generous man who took many troublesome youth under his wings, while Paul was taken off a similar path after meeting the love of his life. It was motherhood that helped Robyn, even though her child was conceived through sexual assault. She says she gained a lot of strength from her experiences. LISTEN TO THE TALKBACK FEEDBACK ABOVEWhere to get help:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

Police investigating the murder of Grace Millane are now looking for a shovel, believed to be related to her murder. They are looking for a red Atlas Trade hardwood long-handle, round-mouth shovel. It could be anywhere between Scenic Drive, where her body was discovered, and central Auckland. Detective Inspector Scott Beard says someone may have come across it and taken it home - and they'd like to speak to that person, or anyone who's seen it. The scene examination at Scenic Drive is now complete. Detective Beard says he's reluctant to give any details, but he has confirmed Grace's body was intact when recovered.Also today, shocking family violence statistics have been revealed, showing police investigated one family harm case every four minutes last year. More than a third of women experience physical sexual partner violence, and one in 10 men have experienced childhood sexual abuse.WHERE TO GET HELP:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT Social media and a lack of available help are being blamed for a rise in young Kiwi girls cutting themselves.A Stuff investigation has found a number of 'cutting groups' across social media, where girls between 11 and 14 take photos of their slit wrists and share them online. Statistics show that girls and young women are twice as likely to go down this route than boys, and there has been a 20 per cent increase in self-inflicted injuries nationwide. The disparity is particularly high amongst those under 30.One caller to Andrew Dickens Afternoons, Victoria, says that she engaged in this behaviour when she was young. She says her parents were unsure what to say or how to help her when she opened up to them, but she still appreciated their views.Two parents, Mary and Amanda, revealed that their daughters and their circle of friends have engaged in this behaviour. Amanda says she struggled to know what to say when her daughter spoke about her actions.LISTEN TO THE TALKBACK FEEDBACK ABOVEWhere to get help:If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider.

  Welcome or welcome back to the uncomfortable is OK podcast. I'm your host Chris Desmond and this is the show where I chat with fascinating people who have faced down the Uncomfortable. We hear their stories and jump into the strategies they've used for getting uncomfortable. Over the last couple of week's I've appeared as a guest on a couple of other podcasts, The Willosophy podcast, and It's no secret with Dr T. It's been an interesting and uncomfortable experience being on the other side of the microphone and having questions asked of me. Thankfully after having over 70 conversations with people on this podcast I've probably got enough to say to fill up half an hour or so. Being a guest on someone else's podcast to talk about getting uncomfortable has given me a greater appreciation of story telling. Being able to impart your viewpoint and experience through story is such an important skill, but also a difficult one to master. It makes me appreciate today's guest, Eric Hodgdon even more. A few years ago Eric went through the trauma of his daughter Zoi's suicide. Thankfully I have never been placed in a situation like that, and I struggle to comprehend what it must have been like. It's a tough topic that not many people seem willing to speak about so I'm grateful that Eric is opening up about his experiences. After going through his grieving process Eric realised that he needed to find his way back to better days, and to help those around him to do the same. That's what this conversation is mainly focussed on, Eric's grieving, his pathway back to better days and living a life where he is thriving again, and how he is helping others to do the same. Suicide is a tough topic, especially here in New Zealand and if you're thinking about it then even though it may not seem like it at the moment, that things are going to get better. Reach out and talk to someone you trust. I've put a list of numbers you can call in New Zealand in the notes for the show, a quick Google search brings up a raft of contacts in other countries too, please get in touch with Eric or with myself if you need to talk. For those of you who have been impacted by suicide, it will also get better, listen to Eric's story as he tells us how his life did. In this conversation Eric and I kick it off by talking about some concepts about getting uncomfortable, I was checking the sound levels and then the conversation just seemed to go, so it may not seem to flow like some of the other episodes. Thank you to Traver Boehm for introducing me to Eric. Please share this episode out with people you think may get value from it. Thank you for getting uncomfortable with Eric and me today. • LIFELINE: 0800 543 354 (available 24/7) • SUICIDE CRISIS HELPLINE: 0508 828 865(0508 TAUTOKO) (available 24/7) • YOUTHLINE: 0800 376 633 • NEED TO TALK?
