Podcasts about suicide call back service

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.

A message by Peter Weckert. It is said many people dream of winning cross lotto and the amazing lifestyle that it would allow them to enjoy. The abundant life that Jesus offers is quite different because it provides us with an eternal joy starting now AND Peace, satisfaction and contentment at the very deepest level of our soul. While it is possible to enjoy both at the same time, it is more likely that a choice is made between one or the other. The question is, what abundant life are you pursuing? Are you focusing on one at the expense of the other. Which one gives you a glorious abundance? Only you can answer that.

Jackson Tozer embodies the essence of The Imperfects podcast. Well, that's what Ryan thinks, and we're pretty keen to agree. Hugely successful and outrageously talented, Jackson, from the outside, is living the dream. Behind the professional success of acting alongside Shaun Micallef, John Cena and Zac Efron (and Ryan, can't forget Ryan), Jackson found himself learning how to be a high-functioning addict (literally high) at rock bottom. Sharing his experience with grief, the loss of his best friend and marijuana addiction, which contributed to his battle with bulimia, anxiety and depression, we thank Jackson for being so bloody generous with his vulnerability.This episode with Jackson Tozer includes a discussion about eating disorders, marijuana addiction and suicide .

Please note this episode and topic may act as a trigger for some people, and this episode is not suitable to listen to within earshot of children. In this episode, we are joined by Wayne Holdsworth, who shares his heart-wrenching story and important mission. On Tuesday, the 24th of October, Wayne's life was forever changed when he discovered that his son, Mac, had taken his own life at home in Victoria. Faced with the unimaginable task of telling his daughter, Daisy, that her brother had died, Wayne has turned this personal tragedy into a powerful crusade to prevent suicide. Wayne is now dedicated to raising awareness about the alarming rates of suicide in Australia. Last year alone, 801 people took their own lives in Victoria, with more than 3,200 across Australia. Wayne points out that these numbers are on the rise, creating an epidemic that surpasses the impact of COVID-19 in its devastation. In honour of his son, Wayne founded the charity "Smack Talk" and now travels the country sharing his story. Through his talks, he educates parents and communities about the warning signs of suicide and provides essential tips for supporting mental health. Wayne's mission is to spread awareness, educate others, and offer practical advice on how we can all contribute to supporting children's mental health and recognising the signs of distress. We talked about:  Wayne's story about how his son passed. How Smack Talk was started after his son passed away. Statistics and the impact of social media to children's mental health and brain development. Reasons some kids take their lives. Sextortion in social media. How the government could be an ally in making legislative reforms on social media usage. Warning signs of suicide and tips for helping people. How we can help. I hope you find this episode not only inspiring, but also educational and informative as Wayne shares his invaluable insights and experiences. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. Together, we can make a difference and support each other in preventing such tragedies.

BE AWARE: This episode discusses the topic of suicide, which may be particularly difficult for some listeners. Summary: In this conversation, Stewart speaks with Megan Lehmann about her experience of losing her husband to suicide. They discuss the challenges of facing life's storms and the importance of learning from other people's journeys. Megan shares the moment she received the devastating phone call and the impact this news had on her hopes and dreams. She speaks about how she managed her own pain and the emotions that came with it, as well as balancing the needs of her three children and navigating significant changes in her role within the family. Stewart and Megan explore the stigma surrounding suicide and the necessity of more open conversations about mental health. Megan also discusses the loneliness she felt as well as the support she received from friends and family. She shares her ongoing experience of grief, the challenges people face in knowing what to say and do, and the importance of talking about the person who has passed away. They discuss the need for practical resources and support, particularly around key dates in the first year of loss, and emphasise the importance of reaching out for help and finding hope amidst difficult times.   In this episode you will discover: 1.    That facing life's storms is challenging, but learning from the experiences of others can provide valuable insights for navigating our own difficulties. 2.    The stigma surrounding suicide and mental health that can make it difficult for people to talk about their experiences and seek support. Open and honest conversations are crucial. 3.    That grief is a complex and ongoing process that can be triggered unexpectedly. Having a supportive community is essential for navigating through it. 4.    How the provision of practical support, such as meals or help with daily tasks, can make a significant difference for someone going through a difficult time. 5.    That talking about the person who has passed away, sharing stories of them and using their name is important for healing and keeping their memory alive. 6.    Finding hope and gratitude in the midst of difficult times can aid in the healing process. … and more!   Links to getting help: In Australia Lifeline – click here or call 13 11 14 Mental Health Triage Service - 13 14 65 Beyond Blue – click here Suicide Call Back Service – click here or call 1300 659 467 For overseas links Help section on the Resilient Souls website here Links to: The Resilient Souls ⁠website⁠ Get hold of Stewart's ⁠book⁠ The Resilient Souls ⁠Podcast⁠ The Resilient Souls ⁠Blog⁠ Support the podcast: ⁠Donate⁠ Book ⁠Stewart to speak⁠ Links to socials: ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Stay connected with the Resilient Souls Community: Sign up to keep informed ⁠here⁠ Contact Us: Click ⁠here⁠  

Warning: This podcast discusses suicide A curious child who grew up with an older brother, Julie Adams OAM started challenging gender stereotypes at an early age. “I felt empowered to speak up if I thought I was being treated differently because I was a girl,” said Julie. It was this curiosity, she says, that led to her success as an entrepreneur as the co-founder of Chemo@home -  which offers cancer patients the convenience and flexibility of receiving treatment in the comfort of their own home - and in 2024 being awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to pharmaceutical oncology. Julie was working as a Cancer Services Pharmacist in1994 when she recognised the need for home-based chemotherapy while her Dad was dying from emphysema. After being shown how to administer antibiotics for her father's chest infections, Julie's Dad was able to spend his last Christmas at home.    Over the next 6 years July researched ways to treat cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at home, and in 2013 took a calculated gamble to co-found Chemo@home with business partner Lorna Cook.  Despite being told their business would “never survive without a male company figurehead” Lorna and Julie grew their operation to become a multi-award winning health service, employing more than 80 people across the country. The company has since been widely recognised, winning nine business awards, including Julie being named the 2016 Telstra WA Business Women's of the Year. Then in 2022 Julie's world was rocked when her 22-year-old daughter Molly died by suicide related to intimate partner abuse. In this podcast Julie shares her personal story of losing Molly, and how she hopes to expand her purpose beyond home health care and put her “out-of-the-box thinking”, entrepreneurship - and now OAM - to good use, to improve outcomes and provide support services for other women in abusive situations. “I still very much feel passionate about my business, and there's still a lot of work to be done. But I feel that all of my knowledge has now come together, and I can use it in a different area to improve outcomes for women, and also to for men who choose violence.” Podcast Host: Claire Braund OAM, Women on Boards Executive Director and co-founder.

In this Women on Boards Honours series, WOB Executive Director Claire Braund talks to the 12 WOB members who were recognised in the 2024 Australia Day Honours. In this episode Claire speaks to Warrnambool cattle and sheep producer and founding member and chair of Food and Fibre Great South Coast, Georgina Gubbins, who was awarded an OAM for service to primary industry, and to the community. As she tells Claire “I wouldn't probably be sitting here having received this award if it hadn't been for Women on Boards!.” Georgina started her career as a nurse then moved to Victoria's Western District in the mid-90s to help on the family farm with husband. After he walked out, Georgina stayed with her two daughters and built Maneroo into a well-known prime lamb and beef cattle property. “I call myself an accidental farmer because I only stayed on farms so that my two children could have continuity of life. Their life had been ripped apart. That's why I took on the farming, to have stability for the children.” In this podcast she talks about the challenges she faced becoming an independent and successful female farmer while raising two daughters and about the tragic death of her brother Simon, who died by suicide. Known as one of Australia's best and most innovative sheep and beef producers on his farm Murroa, Simon shot himself in 2003. His death sent shockwaves across rural Australia and Georgina's family determined from the outset that there would be no pretence about the manner of his death. As Georgina wrote an article in The Age later that year: "Things happen for a reason and are sent to teach us a lesson” In 2012 Georgina's family established the Simon Gubbins Scholarship to study agricultural science at New Zealand's Lincoln University, aligning with her deep passion about affording career opportunities to young people in agriculture and agribusiness in Australia.  Content warning: This podcast discusses suicide.

The time we spend with people and places doesn't determine the impact they can have on our lives. That is so very true for todays guest, Pip Bain. Although her family sold Mt Clere Station when she was just 8 years old, those 8 short years shaped Pips life and love of the land. The same goes for her mother, who passed when Pip was just 18 years old. In this episode, Pip recalls memories of her time at Mt Clere and how she found her way back to the land. She also speaks candidly about losing her mother through suicide and how it influenced her views on mental health. For our long term listeners, if any of this sounds familiar, that is because this episode was recorded and published in 2020 when the podcast was fairly new. Pips story is so compelling that I thought it deserved a second run. Be sure to tune in next week for a follow up episode with Pip. If you are experiencing depression or are suicidal, or know someone who is, help is available.

Clancy Martin (professor of philosophy, multiple suicide survivor) has tried – unsuccessfully, obviously – to depart this mortal coil a dozen-plus times and has just published a book, How Not to Kill Yourself, that explores the complexity of one the most fundamental question we can ever ask – why live? Clancy teaches philosophy at the University of Missouri, is a Guggenheim Fellow, bestselling novelist, a father and… “suicide addict”. In the wake of having lost one of my closest friends to suicide, I reached out to Clancy to get his insights and wisdoms on this challenging topic. He shares the mindsets that can change a despairing person's mind, how to deal with the sense of betrayal and anger after a loved one takes their life and how his own “suicidal addiction” started at 3. This beautiful conversation is mostly a reminder to live fully and wildly and… to care (particularly for those who care so deeply they despair).Get hold of Clancy's book How Not to Kill Yourself: My life in suicide.If you or someone you know is struggling, the suicide and crisis lifeline can be reached by diallingIn Australia, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 and the Suicide Call Back Service on1300 659 467In the US, call 988 and you will be connected to the National Suicide and Crisis LifelineIn the UK, contact the National Suicide Prevention Helpline on 0800 689 5652If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my “about” pageFor more such conversations subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it's where I interact the most!Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious LifeLet's connect on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the ifa podcast, host Maja Garaca Djurdjevic is joined by Philippa Hunt, director at AFSL Artemis Investments, to chat through her thoughts on QAR and the need for added focus on the wellbeing of advisers. Ms Hunt speaks about her support for Minister Stephen Jones taking his time to get things right, given the “catastrophic” outcomes for the industry resulting from the rushed implementation of the royal commission's outcomes. She emphasises the importance of considering the human and social cost of legislation and the mental health of advisers, which, she says, were severely impacted by compliance requirements. The conversation concludes with Ms Hunt's views on the future of the financial advice industry and the need for a more holistic approach to advice.

TRIGGER WARNING. This episode discusses the 2002 Bali Bombing and involves content that some might find disturbing. ‘Macca' is a knock about Aussie guy who 20 years ago at 19 years old played some pretty sub amateur footy at Kingsley Football Club in Perth. In October 2002, they won the team's first premiership and 20 people flew to Bali for an end-of-season trip to celebrate their victory. But only 13 of the teammates made it home. The remaining seven were killed in the Bali bombings, a terrorist attack which claimed the lives of 202 people, including 88 Australians.  Macca remembers seeing and hearing the blast. He was sitting around a table in the Sari Club with some mates and some girls they had befriended that night. What happened in the aftermath, including his response, and the selfless response of his teammates is quite remarkable. This episode is powerful, but it also shows the caring side of Macca who has been profoundly affected by the incident. But it also shows his commitment to his own post traumatic growth.   07:30       Elite research on our guest 08:00       About Kingsley Football Club 08:30       Kingsley Football Club really sucked in 2001! 11:00       The win the Grand Final… and off to Bali they go! 14:00       Into the Sari Club….

This podcast is part of a powerful two-part series that explores the history of LGBTIQ+ military service in Australia, produced by award-winning podcast maker, Megan Spencer. It begins in 1982 with the unsuccessful attempt of five gay ex-servicemen to lay a wreath at the Shrine of Remembrance on Anzac Day, to honour their “fallen gay and lesbian brothers and sisters”. Forty years later, on ANZAC Day 2022, the story comes full circle with the annual Rainbow Wreath-laying service by DEFGLIS uniformed members and allies, in the Shrine's hallowed Sanctuary. In between these two landmark moments, the story of LGBTIQ+ service unfolds through the voices and lived experience of current and former ADF service members, pre- and post- the 1992 ban on “homosexual service” in Australia's military. The Power of the Wreath podcast accompanies the Shrine's new exhibition, Defending with Pride: Stories of LGBTQ+ service, on from August 1st 2022 - August 2023.

Warning: This episode discusses suicide and may be triggering for some people, so it may be best to listen in the company of support.Veterinarian's are one of the most loved professionals in Australia – they're the superhumans who keep our best mates and fur babies healthy, and step up to save them if the unbearable occurs.So, why is it that veterinarians have almost four times the suicide rate of the Australian population? This equates to a veterinarian taking their own life on average every 12 weeks in Australia.In this episode, Dr Campbell Costello, who you'll remember from last week's episode, discusses his perspective on the retention, renumeration, and mental health crises plaguing the Australian veterinary industry. Make sure you stick around as Cozy also shares insights into the major biosecurity threats Australia is currently facing, and why we needs our vets now more than ever.If you are experiencing depression or are suicidal, or know someone who is, help is available.Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467Lifeline: 13 11 14 www.lifeline.com.auBeyond Blue: 1300 224 636 www.beyondblue.org.au/Mindspot: 1800 61 44 34 http://mindspot.org.au/Men's Shed: www.mensheds.org.auVirtual Psychologist is a free service that offers qualified and experienced counselling via phone, chat, email and text.

Mental Health Australia is calling on the federal government to set a national target to reduce the country's suicide rate by 25 per cent in three years. It's the leading cause of death for young people aged between 15 and 24. In 2020, there were 3,139 deaths by suicide in Australia, an average of 8.6 a day.  The reduction target was launched by Mental Health Australia chief Matt Berriman, who has also bravely shared his story of trying to take his own life two years ago. He says attempting suicide was the worst decision of his life, and he wants others to have the hope for recovery that he found. Today on Please Explain, Matt Berriman joins Bianca Hall for this special episode.
