The newspaper is full of the Adam Selwood tragedy and the Eagles win and the value of a ‘mental health round'.   Everyone knows a hashtag or a football round might make us feel a bit better but the issue is way deeper than that.   Asking RUOK? is a touch better but way more needs to be done.. Research into what works and what to do when some things don't work.. Answers -- practical, science based, proven strategies Healing stories, not just problem stories. Too many mental health talks are on the problem and the problem stories, and not enough on the stories of transformation and healing..   Topics to teach, train, coach and mentor people of all ages in:   Destigmatisation Resilience building Mindfulness training Internal and external ecosystem management Etc etc   The recent podcast I did with @Bryn Edwards, where he said ‘this is not a mental health crisis, it's an emotional health crisis'   The acknowledgment, expression and processing of emotions'   From an NLP point of view - state management..   Dr Peter Symons and his book Brain-Fuel Depletion and the recent seminar I MC'ed with Peter and Dr Clyde Jumeaux plus the many calls and discussions I have had with old mate and long-term mental health researcher and advocate Neil Cole and our great work with BlokesTalk BeachSide and the work with Paul Litwin and Mens Talk AU shows how men in particular need to feel OK about talking to someone about how they feel on the inside..   In a recent conversation with a past client who is involved heavily with Veterans and PTSD.. as he says, 'asking RUOK is not the Question.. asking on a scale of 0 to 10 how are you feeling?' is a far better question..     If you are under 5... let's talk about it..   We go into much further detail in this podcast including the structured Holistic Psychosocial Lifestyle Audit & Action Plan based on Rapoport's lifestyle dimensions—Family, Work, and Leisure—with integrated areas including Emotional Intelligence, Rumination, Stress Load, and Internal Chemistry.   This self-assessment helps evaluate key domains influencing mental health and offers tailored recommendations based on the results..   Find out more about Blokestalk Beachside here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2264593520407275   What number should you call if you have depression?     In life-threatening situations, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
