There aren’t many songs that evoke the meaning of ANZAC Day better than ‘I Was Only 19’ by Redgum which was written and sung by John Schumann. John is returning to the music scene with the Vagabond Crew and their latest song is called Fishing Net in the Rain. John Schumann told Luke Bradnam on 4BC Breakfast, "This [Fishing Net In The Rain] came out of the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide." "I've got a long interest in mental health, which I learned about when I wrote I was only 19 and I put Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I suppose, back in the national conversation, not deliberately, just quite unconsciously." "So I became a bit interested and I watched the Royal Commission into Veterans Suicide and it's always something that's harrowed me," Mr Schumann said. "We send these people away to do jobs, to wear our uniforms overseas and when they come back, they'll come back with physical injury sometimes." "Often they'll come back with psychological injuries, which aren't visible, but they are injuries, none the same." "We have to tell these stories," John Schumann continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

⚜️ In this episode of our podcast, we are joined by Shane Crutchten, also known as The War Rhino (@war_rhino). Our conversation centers on Mr. Crutchten's personal journey with suicidal thoughts and the significant role that his faith has played in navigating and overcoming those challenges. We delve into the depths of his experiences, exploring the factors that contributed to his brush with suicide, the coping mechanisms he employed, and the ways in which his spiritual beliefs provided solace, guidance, and ultimately, a path towards healing and resilience.

If you're a bloke, or have a bloke (young or old) in your life - this is a conversation not to be missed. Once you've listened to it, share it far and wide, as Dr. Zac Seidler, a clinical psychologist and Director of Research at Movember, has the most comprehensive view I've ever come across on what positive masculinity and good men's mental health looks like. The conversation focuses on not just the psychological aspects of men's mental health, but the societal framework that shapes masculinity. The discussion traverses through topics of men's mental health awareness, therapeutic approaches, toxic and positive masculinity, and how we can foster healthier male communities. What You'll Learn: Deciphering Masculinity: We delve into how the traditional concepts of masculinity can be both harmful and beneficial and discuss the need to redefine masculinity in more positive, flexible terms. Therapeutic Approaches: Explore why traditional therapy might not resonate with men and how 'gender-sensitive' therapy can be a more effective approach. Social Connection: The vital role of social networks in men's mental health and how a lack of these connections can lead to severe psychological issues, including suicide. Preventative Measures: Understand the importance of getting ahead of mental health issues through early interventions and community-based programs. Breaking Down Stigmas: Discuss the societal changes needed to address mental health proactively instead of reactively, and the importance of redefining spaces for men to safely express themselves. Key Takeaways: Masculinity Redefined: Emphasising the value of attributes like stoicism, altruism, and service when appropriately contextualised. Supportive Networks: Highlighting the significance of building and maintaining strong social connections throughout life. Therapy Reimagined: Utilising flexible therapeutic practices that consider men's socialisation and comfort levels. Community and Connection: Promoting the idea that safe, non-judgmental spaces are crucial for men's mental health. Early Intervention: The critical role of incorporating mental health teachings and practices from a young age to build resilience. Resources: Engage with Movember's initiatives focusing on men's mental health. Explore gender-sensitive therapy training programs like "Men in Mind" to better understand how to engage men in therapeutic settings. Connect with organisations like "The Man Cave" and "Top Blokes" that offer programs to support young men. Support and Share: Listening to this podcast could inspire not just awareness but also actionable steps towards building better support systems for the men in our lives. This conversation sheds light on the core issues impacting men's mental health and explores innovative solutions designed to uplift and support men in maintaining mental health wellness.

In this episode of the DAV Podcast, we shift the focus on veteran suicide from despair to action. Join DAV's Jonathan Kaupanger and Dr. Russell Lemle, a leading expert in firearm suicide prevention, as they discuss lethal means safety - a practical approach to saving lives. Learn how simple steps can create crucial distance between a veteran in crisis and the means to harm themselves.

In this episode we have the honor of sitting down with Australian researcher, Ms. Carolyn Heward, lead author of “A Scoping Review of Military Culture, Military Identity, and Mental Health Outcomes in Military Personnel”. Listen in as we discuss the complexity of military culture's impact on military identity and its effect on mental health. We'll dig into the Military Identity Model (MIM) and types of identities such as loyal, warrior, hidden and disrupted. But most importantly we'll consider the clinical benefits of including military identity into case formulation, treatment planning and EBP work. As Heward says “identity work is clinical work” and we couldn't agree more. Carolyn Heward is a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at James Cook University in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, where she teaches in the Master of Psychology (Clinical) program while conducting research on military identity construction and its implications for psychological wellbeing. As a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working with the Australian Defence Force (ADF), she brings valuable insights to the intersection of military culture and mental health, particularly through her perspective that identity work is fundamental to clinical practice. Her recent scoping review on military culture, identity, and mental health has contributed to understanding the unique challenges faced by service members, while her current doctoral research explores the construction of military identity within the ADF and its clinical implications. Drawing from her clinical experience, Carolyn's work focuses on developing integrated approaches to clinical psychology that move beyond cultural formulations to address individual identity construction. She has also contributed to public discourse on military mental health through The Conversation, publishing articles on military identity and providing analysis of the Australian Government's response to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide.Resources mentioned in this episode: Carolyn Heward, Wendy Li, Ylona Chun Tie, Pippa Waterworth, A Scoping Review of Military Culture, Military Identity, and Mental Health Outcomes in Military Personnel, Military Medicine, Volume 189, Issue 11-12, November/December 2024, Pages e2382–e2393, https://doi.org/10.1093/milmed/usae276Practical for Your Practice voice mail: speakpipe.com/cdpp4pPractical for Your Practice email: cdp-podcast-ggg@usuhs.edu

Two Marines and a Sailor walk into a podcast... the rest was simply my honor to witness.In this engaging conversation, veterans share their personal journeys into military service, reflecting on the influences of family, community, and personal choices. They discuss the structure and discipline of military life, the camaraderie among service members, and the evolving landscape of military recruitment. The conversation also touches on the importance of physical fitness and mental toughness, drawing parallels between military training and civilian life. In this conversation, Dr. Dan and his guests discuss the challenges faced by veterans transitioning to civilian life, the importance of mental health support, and the unique skills and perspectives that veterans bring to the workplace. They emphasize the need for open communication, the value of human connection, and the pride that comes from military service, which shapes their work ethic and approach to leadership. Takeaways- Thank you for your service on Veterans Day. - The structure of the military can be a perfect fit for some.- Family influence plays a significant role in choosing military service.- Recruitment experiences can vary widely among individuals.- Branch rivalries often lead to humorous banter among service members.- College is not the only path to success for young people.- The spirit and toughness of recruits remain strong over the years.- Physical fitness is crucial for mental toughness and resilience.- Pain can be viewed as an annoyance rather than a barrier.- Handling stress calmly is a valuable skill learned in the military.- Life is too short, and we must live it to the fullest.- Veterans often face unique challenges when transitioning to civilian life. - Mental health support is crucial for veterans.- Human connection can be a lifeline for those struggling.- Communication styles differ significantly between military and civilian environments.- Attention to detail is a key strength for veterans in the workplace.- Veterans can adapt and take charge in unfamiliar situations.- It's important to reach out and talk to someone when in need.- Pride in service influences work ethic and commitment.- Leadership in the military is different from civilian leadership. #mentalhealth #veteransuicideawareness #veteransuicide #mentalhealthawareness #psychology #logotherapy #counseling #viktorfrankl

We're dropping this episode a few days early in honor of election day. While The American Legion is a non-partisan organization, we have, since our earliest days, believed in the right to vote. Our "Get Out the Vote" program encourages all Americans to register and vote in all elections. In addition, Legionnaires, posts, districts and departments are encouraged to fully involve themselves in the electoral process by serving as poll volunteers, poll workers and by encouraging and assisting others to register and vote. This week, our guest is Anil Nathan, is co-founder and co-chairman of the board at We the Veterans, and Vet the Vote - which is a national campaign to recruit veterans and military family members to become poll workers. Anil, who is a first-generation American and second-generation Air Force veteran, shares his own military story, and how he began his mission to foster civic engagement for veterans and their families.
