This week on Well Well Well, we explore the power of play and life-saving health interventions. Dr Phoebe Toups Dugas from Monash University joins us to discuss how games can be more than just entertainment—they can be spaces for identity exploration, community building, and inclusion for trans and queer players. We dive into what makes a game truly inclusive, how queer and trans gamers are shaping the future of game design, and why representation behind the scenes matters. Then, we turn our focus to harm reduction with Linda Cowan from Thorne Harbour Health, who breaks down everything you need to know about Naloxone—how it works, how to access it, and how this simple intervention can save lives in the face of Australia's ongoing overdose crisis.

A new VicHealth survey has revealed that 3 in 5 consumers find it difficult to know if they can trust the health claims made on the foods they are buying, so how much will a government mandated health star rating help people make more informed choices in the super market aisle? Also, how much are sales of Tesla cars being impacted by public perceptions around Elon Musk? We also talk the importance of making music accessible in schools and how much Victorians are spending at their school canteens.

Div Pillay is an inspirational leader. Growing up under apartheid she watched her adventurous parents navigate barriers and limitations and at six months pregnant when she migrated to “the lucky country” she found out that the Australia people see from afar is not as lucky as she imagined. Together we discuss building a life led by social impact, being carjacked at knifepoint and leaning in to solve the problem rather than running away. Div Pillay leads MindTribes and social enterprise Culturally Diverse Women (CDW). She is also the Chair of the D&I Committee at the American Chamber of Commerce, Australia and is a Board Director at VicHealth. Div's impact is well recognised - she is one of the 100 women of influence, named by the Australian Financial Review in 2018 and in 2021 she was named one of two Australians in a Global List of 25 Influential leaders, by AACSB, the world's largest business education alliance. Highly intelligent, direct and authentic, all the qualities we love in a Brave Feminine Leader. Listen to this.
Dr. Shane and team speak with Dr Sandro Demaio, CEO of VicHealth and a globally-renowned public health expert, with a passion for food, health and wellbeing, about the harms of vaping, particularly on young people. The pandemic has isolated young people, and the vaping industry focuses on this group, with advertising, including using social media like Tiktok. Additionally, vaping devices are often shaped as everyday items like highlighters or hoodie toggles. Dr. Demaio explains how these devices should be restricted, and that we already know that they can cause infections in the lungs, which can lead to chronic problems, including cancer. The chemicals can also damage the heart and brain.Dr Demaio shares how he is also pushing for a national agency for independent health advice, or an ‘Australian CDC'. Australia is the only OECD country without such an institution to coordinate, manage, inform, and direct health advice. The team also talk about scientific dogs with Dr Linden, and the optimal strategy to calm a crying child with Dr Stacey.Program page: Einstein-A-Go-GoFacebook page: Einstein-A-Go-GoTwitter: Einstein-A-Go-Go

It is 2030 and every Australian is healthy. That is the vision at the centre of a new manifesto put forward by a group of public health experts this month. The authors argue this dream is possible and they say the bridge to get there is not better medicine, or more doctors, or a miracle cure for disease, but a shift in policy around things like housing, education, and welfare. Is their dream 'pie in the sky'? Or could it become a reality?

Salt: as a natural resource it's found everywhere from our tears, perspiration to the ocean Would you believe the earliest evidence of humans producing salt dates back to 6000 BC in northern China? So, it's been part of our lives for thousands of years. Much like sugar, however, salt is also hidden in so many of our everyday foods. Without knowing it, three-quarters of the salt we eat is already in everyday foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, and ready meals, so for this reason, it's very easy for us to exceed our daily intake without knowing it For better health, we all need to limit our daily salt intake to the recommended amount, because as we know, the side effects of too much salt are detrimental to adults, but we also need to take into consideration the impacts it has on children and babies To help talk to us about some tasty and healthy salt alternatives we welcome back our special guest Siobhan Boyle, CEO of Jamie The Good Foundation We ask Siobhan questions including: How important is it for parents to reduce salt content in their household diets and home-cooked meals to the recommended amount? How much salt is the right amount? Is it true that some foods with a high salt content won't taste very salty at all? Why is too much salt bad for both an adult and a child's diet? What are some easy alternatives to ensure meals still taste delicious? What are your go-to herbs that every parent should have in their kitchen to flavour up meals? For Siobhan's full article, please go to: https://kiddipedia.com.au/salt-alternatives/ For further information, please go to: https://www.jamiesministryoffood.com.au/ You can visit the Heart Foundation and VicHealth's website Unpack The Salt See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sugary drink and fast food sponsors have become almost inseparable from sporting superstars and major events like the Olympics. But why are these epitomes of health and exercise aligning themselves with products linked to obesity, heart disease and diabetes? Simon Tulett explores the reasons for this relationship's long history and hears about the damage it could be doing to young, impressionable fans. If this sponsorship is a problem, whose job is it to end it, and can it be done without leaving event organisers, athletes and grassroots sport facing a financial black hole?

Vol 214, Issue 8: 3 May 2021. Dr Sandro Demaio is CEO of VicHealth. He discusses pathways to a stronger, more equitable health care system for all Australians by 2030, to accompany VicHealth's MJA Supplement and his own MJA editorial. With MJA news and online editor, Cate Swannell.
In the next decade, we could create a society where everyone is in good health. According to a group of public health experts, this goal is achievable, and the remedies are less about increases in health care staff or medicine and more about policy changes that address housing, education, and income.
It is 2030 and every Australian is healthy. That is the vision at the centre of a new manifesto put forward by a group of public health experts this month. The authors argue this dream is possible and they say the bridge to get there is not better medicine, or more doctors, or a miracle cure for disease, but a shift in policy around things like housing, education, and welfare. Is their dream 'pie in the sky'? Or could it become a reality?

On The Down Lola is breaking down the topic of Diversity & Inclusion in a series of episodes. In this episode of OTDL, Lola is joined by a good Pride Judy, Tiffany Hanson. They broke down the often over looked topic of barriers to inclusion due to language. Tiffany works for LUNA Language Services, and Indy Pride here in the greater Indianapolis area. She is also a member of the Diversity Round Table of Central Indiana. We looked at a few barriers to inclusion due to language and some starter solutions to bridging the gap. Some of LUNA's services: On-site Interpreting: Ensure that larger meetings, community forums, and education and outreach events are accessible to all community members Phone Interpreting: Use for quick interactions to facilitate assessment conversations and discussions containing sensitive information On-site ASL Interpreting: Manage ongoing communication and engage new Deaf or hard of hearing constituents Video Remote Interpreting (VRI): Use for brief discussions with your Deaf or Hard of Hearing constituents such as question answering and appointment scheduling Document and Website Translation: Expand the exposure of your outreach by translating your written materials into common languages found in your area (via website, outreach and education materials, social media posts, and surveys) Training for Bilingual Staff: An introduction to industry best-practices for your multilingual staff to act as informal interpreters when appropriate Cultural Training: Create a more welcoming and inclusive workplace Some Possible Solutions To reach the deaf and hard of hearing groups, ensure all video announcements are accessible with a trained ASL interpreter. Provide a transcript of all video messaging with each announcement to support Deaf and hard of hearing employees. If a transcript is provided, you might also consider translating that into other major languages in your workforce. Announcements shared via social media can be quickly and easily translated or made into a quick ASL video to ensure accessibility and reach. Facebook is heavily utilized by the Deaf and multilingual communities in Indiana. Having a live event, Know who your multi-lingual workers are and have ASL interpreters in key areas: Front Gate Information Booth Bar STAGE! Ask performers prior to show for lyric sheets for interpreters Give copy of hosting notes. Benefits of Multi-Lingual societies Marc Ettlinger, Ph.D. in linguistics, “…language may influence implicit cultural attitudes toward a gender, race, or other named entity. Language can also affect how stories are reported and may even influence the art of a society.” “…a broader vocabulary can allow you to think faster, which there is ample evidence for.” A Forbes study found that a diverse and inclusive workplace is a major driver of innovation and growth. A study from VicHealth provides evidence that cultural diversity can enhance business performance and productivity, increase creative thinking, save time and money, reduce risk and promote staff health and wellbeing

Diversity has become a catchcry, a battle cry and an umbrella term for opportunity and access—but is it holding us back? Does the framing of diversity in conversations about our cities and institutions continue to keep minorities and the underprivileged at the margins? How can we move beyond a focus on otherness, and to where do we move? As political and economic forces create rapidly changing populations, engaging design to respond to these changes is not only essential but also urgent. From the ways we house and educate to how we socialise and celebrate heritage, there’s much to consider in building the global city. Listen back to the distinctions and possibilities of the global city with a line-up of esteemed guests in a lively tag-team conversation as part of our annual MRelay series. Hosted by social change campaigner Nevena Spirovska, speakers include Farah Farouque, chair of Social Studio; Filipino-Australian writer and emerging curator Andy Butler; MPavilion 2018 Writer in Residence Maddee Clark; visual artists and co-director of A Centre for Everything, Gabrielle de Vietri; openly gay Imam, Nur Warsame; Immigration Museum general manager Rohini Kappadath; Moroccan Soup Kitchen owner and Speed Date a Muslim organiser Hana Assafiri; artist Stanislava Pinchuk (aka Miso);Leah Jing of Liminal magazine and photojournalist and Asylum Seeker Resource Centre volunteer Norman Katende.

Historically people have wrongly assumed that victims would resist, fight back or have injuries from a sexual assault or rape. Research and victim accounts tell us otherwise, turning on their head any notions of 'typical' or 'normal' reactions. In this episode, we speak with a senior researcher for ANROWS about a 2013 study conducted by VicHealth, Carolyn Worth for SECASA, Dandenong SOCIT Detective, Joanne McDonald and Di, a victim-survivor who was tragically abused by her father from the age of nine.
The reason that people come to your community impacts how you manage that community. It is one of the factors that guides the choices you make and the strategies and processes that you deploy. If people come to your community because they have cancer, your approach is going to be different than if they were coming because a product broke or because they enjoy a particular hobby. That’s exactly the type of community that Cosette Paneque of Breast Cancer Network Australia is responsible for. On this episode, we discuss the unique circumstances around managing a community that connects around breast cancer, including: The first thing Cosette wants new members, who may have just received the worst news of their life, to see Creating processes around death in our communities How cancer survivors continue to contribute to the community Big Quotes “The first thing I want [new members, who may have just been diagnosed with cancer] to see is that they’re not alone. … If they live in a rural place, they may be the only person with breast cancer. They may have never met someone with metastatic cancer. When they go on the [BCNA] online network, that’s the first thing I want them to know, is that they’re not alone, and they don’t have to go through this alone.” -@CosettePaneque “What we do, [when a member passes away, is] close the account, but we change the role from member to dragonfly, which is a very special symbol for us at BCNA. We also put a little image of a dragonfly next to their photo. So, people will often go to their profile or start a thread and talk about how wonderful this person was and how they helped them and how they knew them. [Before doing this, we asked our members.] They thought it was just lovely and very respectful. They loved the image of the dragonfly, because they know that it’s got special significance to our organization.” -@CosettePaneque “[Members who have faced breast cancer can] become community liaisons. … We help them learn how to share their story, how to speak to the media, how to speak at special events. We also use them in our campaigns and our commercials, because we only use real people in anything that we do. We always use our people. We never hire actors or anything like that. That would just not be appropriate at all when we have this amazing network of incredible, brave, courageous people who are more than happy to share their story. Some of them go on to become consumer representatives, which is a specialized training. They sit at the table with decision-makers and help shape the future of how breast cancer might be treated and supported in Australia.” -@CosettePaneque About Cosette Paneque After years of dying of dysentery on The Oregon Trail and playing Jeopardy! on a Commodore 64, Cosette Paneque took to the internet like a duck takes to water. Being a community member led to working in community. In 2010, she moved into the community management space with the US-based moderation company ModSquad and got to work with cool companies such as Warner Bros., Animal Jam, Kabam, Second Life, U.S. Army, Konami, The Playforge, ReachOut and Pathevo. Cosette moved to Australia in 2012. In 2014, she joined Quiip, Australia’s leading social media and online community management and moderation company. While there, she worked with ReachOut, SANE, The Line, AMP Capital, VicHealth and NSW Health. Currently, Cosette is the online community manager for Breast Cancer Network Australia.

Interview with - Frank McManus who for well over 40 years has encouraged everyone to eat at least AN OUNCE OF SALT PER DAY to stay in OPTIMUM HEALTH! Frank's "highly skeptical world view," simply a form of having a DEEPLY CONSPIRATORIAL MIND, is laid out here in this interview. "One of the symptoms of being a well balanced man is to have a fully functioning brain; one that is capable of engaging in excellent criticical thinking, reproduction of of that same process over and over again, animation and controlling yearning flow. From this thought comes the title of this blog." "So important is salt to humans that our taste buds are specifically designed to detect its presence in our food...Unlike sodium, however, the importance of chloride to the human is far less well documented. In fact, at the time of typing this note, 12 July 2015, there has NEVER been a medical study undertaken to establish the optimum levels of chloride intake for maximising human health...The covenant between man and The Creator, according to the Old Testament, is sealed with salt. That same text tells us that The Creator specifically requested that offerings to The Almighty be well seasoned with salt...Despite our total dependence upon adequate levels of salt in our bodies to maintain our life function, we are told by the various public health authorities that salt is bad for us and that we should restrict our salt intake to as low 5gms per day (WHO and VicHealth for example)." "The readers are given notice that I have had no medical training, and nothing written here shall be construed as medical advice." ~Frank McManus FRANK MCMANUS, AN OUNCE OF SALT PER DAY http://www.big-lies.org/salt/ HE SELLS SALT, BUY SOME SALT FROM HIM!!!!!!!!!
