Welcome to the first official episode under the new FELLOWMAN banner! I'm joined by another great fellow man, Mr Andrew Newton. Andrew is a mental health champion and men's coach who I met recently through a regular Thursday morning workout / men's group here in Austin called the MPOWERED Brotherhood. Aside from how similar our interests, history and approach to mental health are, what I love most about this conversation with Andrew is the way in which he shares his own mental health journey and specifically the role that men's work has played in this. We get into some detail on mental health diagnoses, the complex area of psychiatric medications, taking ownership of your lifestyle and much more.  You can follow Andrew here on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewnewton/ Links to other resources mentioned in this episode: My interview with Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Cecelia Howard.

How to become a mental health champion At a recent event in Sydney, a presenter, a renowned psychiatrist, said something that struck a chord with me: It's not about the tools, it's about who will take us through them. In other words, it's not about resources – it's about who will use them, how they will use them, and importantly, what happens to the information the resources provide? For example, the ‘5 Facts about Me' resource available on my website is a really powerful tool that allows you to get to know the elders in your care. But once you've used the tool, what do you do with the information? Pop it on their file? What is the process in dealing with the information? The big question is, how will you use what you have learned in your day to day interactions? It's great to have information about how to improve the quality of experience for the elders in your care, however, having the resources and information alone won't enable you to be a mental health champion. It's what you do with the information that really counts. Mental health champions work collaboratively, involving others in the process as needed to help older people identify and achieve their goals. We are never too old to achieve goals, and many of my workshops and resources are centred around helping elders realise what their goals are so they can identify steps to achieving them. When I think about tools for enhancing wellbeing in elders, it's about uncovering the process of taking them from A to B. How do we help them get what they want in their life? How do we help them achieve those goals? The people who help them this process are mental health champions. So, who are they? It's not necessarily someone with a degree or someone specifically employed in a lifestyle or health professional role. A mental health champion can be anyone who is dedicated and committed to improving mental health outcomes in an older person. It could be a carer, nurse, lifestyle personnel, a chaplain, physio, or anyone who uses the information they have gathered from interactions and tools to improve their engagement. So, how can you become a mental health champion? If you are able to use your knowledge and personal attributes to enhance the lifestyle factors of the elders in your life, you are suitable to be a mental health champion, whether you are a family member, friend, allied health professional or any other person in their life. In my experience, some people might do a 2-hour workshop (like my ‘Grief and Loss in Late Life' program) and that might provide them with all they need to be able to recognise what's going on for the older person, and understand when they need to escalate concerns further or access additional support. For others, they might choose to do my 6-hour ‘Enhancing Emotional Wellbeing in Late Life' workshop, to further expand their learning and mental health champion toolkit. In recent times, the pandemic and natural disasters have affected access to many aged care settings. Global events such as wars and climate change have also caused triggers in some. In these times, we also need to understand how we can best support residents when so much is happening. This is not about being unrealistic, or trying to make them happy. Instead, as mental health champions we are looking for ways to improve social connections and minimise the risk of disengagement. Mental health champion moments happen in your day to day interactions with elders. Even if you feel like you have no more time and capacity available, if you are already communicating with clients, you have an opportunity to lead by example in your approach and interactions. You don't need a badge, you just need a commitment to promote the wellbeing of our precious elders. In this episode you will learn: What is a mental health champion? Why are they important in aged care? Who are they? How can you become a mental health champion? Where can you find the tools to support you?

Episode #91:   This was such a special and unique episode. We have never had a podcast like this before. Jared and Robert talk mental health as men and also do something that has never been done before on Louder Now. Jared and Robert take 7 things you may have heard others say to you when you are suffering and struggling.  They go back and forth with discussion.   Language is so important when we talk about mental illness and mental health. We can easily assume and say the wrong thing to those who are suffering. Having empathy when times are tough is really important.    Here are 7 phrases/ sayings we discuss on this episode:   1.      Don't tell someone to snap out of it..that is not possible...something like that.  2.      Have you ever read any of the books written by ____________ ( author )? He/she has written great stuff about _____________ ( ie. mental health ) 3.      I'm not sure if I can help you because I've never really experienced what you are going through. 4.      Have you ever tried Meditation? 5. Things could always be worse..by trying to compare it minimizes the struggle/ dehumanizes the person. 6. It is all in your head..This is first of all not accurate because depression and mental illness is also in the body..it affects everything. It can't be this simple.. 7.

She relocated to California and started working at PEERS, a consumer-run mental health nonprofit. At PEERS, Kelechi supervised mental health programs, led communication operations, and partnered with Dr. Patrick Corrigan, on a project which provided mental health recovery story-telling trainings across 41 California counties. She also managed a Columbia University research project examining mental health stigma in the Chinese community with Dr. Lawrence Yang. Kelechi transitioned to research and evaluation work at Resource Development Associates where she was a senior project manager, wrote grants, and conducted community-based participatory research spanning the fields of mental health, child welfare, education, and criminal justice. A popular keynote speaker, Kelechi worked at CalMHSA as the Statewide Peer and Community Engagement Manager for a large technology project to bring digital mental health solutions to California counties. At CalMHSA, she conducted community outreach and engagement and facilitated listening sessions with over 250 stakeholders to develop digital mental health literacy programming. Kelechi also has a large body of work in suicide prevention, and published the book We've Been Too Patient in 2019.

She also helped co-create the Discussions that Matter program with Heliana Ramirez, which placed peers and clinicians as co-facilitators of affinity groups to support important dialogue emerging in 2020 around race, mental health, radical healing, and moving toward liberation. In 2021, Kelechi was named a Mental Health Champion by the Steinberg Institute. ABOUT KELECHI'S BOOK We've Been Too Patient: Voices from Radical Mental Health, Kelechi's book with co-editor L.D.

Shantal - Writer and Mental Health Champion - finds that writing down her thoughts and setting aside time for herself to think and recharge helps her mind stay in check.

In this week's episode we are revisiting an interview with Carla Carlisle, Mental Health Champion, Author & Speaker. When we talk about work/life balance seems like employees are expected to get it right and managers have little to do. What would be different if we recognized we live integrated lives? There's no leaving our personal life at the door. What kind of workplace is needed to achieve high performance and support the needs of high performing employees. My guest Carla Carlisle shares a very intimate story of her journey to find work life integration for herself and her team. Be sure to check out her upcoming book for children coping with the emotional stresses of adoption, My Big Notebook: It's About Me with a Little Help from my Friend JC.

In 2011, fresh-faced German sprinter Marcel Kittel exploded onto the world of cycling. He won a stage on his Grand Tour debut at La Vuelta a España that season, and from there his rapid ascent to the peak of his sport saw him considered a revelation. Marcel was completely adored by fans, thought to enhance his sport as a whole by his peers, and took 14 Tour de France stages and 89 professional wins. So, when he announced his retirement in 2019, cycling fans were stunned. He was just 31. The all-encompassing psychological pressures had become too much—the time away from family and friends, the remorseless training—and this episode is about the complexities of becoming burnt out by the thing you love the most.

Stephen Clements was my ‘on air husband', a best friend, co-worker, brother and tormentor all rolled into one. For over 4 and a half years we hosted Stephen and Cate at Breakfast which meant 4am alarms, no social lives and a chemistry that brought much mocking and laughter. I don't know if I've ever felt that connected to anyone else, he knew my best and my worst and ridiculed both. In June 2019 he left the show. In January 2020 he left the earth. My heart broke both times. I've been left with so many questions and much confusion. A large part of my identity was tied up in our partnership and now I'm trying to figure out who I am as Cate, not ‘and Cate'. In this first episode of The Cate Conway Podcast, I chat to Professor Siobhan O'Neill (Ulster University and Mental Health Champion for NI) about mental health and suicide. The mantra “It's OK not to be OK” is bandied about all over the place. We encourage people in distress to ‘talk to someone'. But what if you ‘are' the ‘someone' they speak to? How do you handle ‘that' conversation?

Jonny Benjamin is an award-winning mental health campaigner, film producer, public speaker, writer and vlogger from London.

At the age of 20 he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar, and later began making films on YouTube about the condition that have since been watched by hundreds of thousands of people.

Debra and Mandana sit down with one of their best friends, comedian and author, Ali Wentworth, for an enlightening and hilarious conversation about activism at home, parenting in the age of social media, and fighting mental health stigmas.   Produced by Dear Media.
