As I mentioned on RUOK? Day, I have suffered the comorbidity of anxiety and depression.
Unfortunately, I come from a family background where mental health is not acknowledged. It is considered as a “crazy person” issue; seeing a psychologist means to them that you belong in an asylum… Having gone through what I have, it makes me want others to know that you’re not alone even if it feels like it. That we are so lucky and fortunate to live in a country with so many resources and access to assistance if you need it.
Hence, I am so grateful that I was offered to be a partner supporting October Mental Health Week with the SAHMRI Wellbeing and Resilience Centre. As both an individual and a business, I am committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our people and community. To successfully navigate life’s demands and challenges, continuing to build your resilience and support your mental health is key.
It is for this reason that we are promoting an important initiative for October Mental Health week with the SAHMRI Wellbeing and Resilience Centre who are offering their online mental health survey tool to individuals; the Be Well Tracker. The tool contributes to advancing important mental health research here in South Australia.
I strongly encourage you to register for the survey and participate to learn more about how you can support your mental health and wellbeing and that of those around you.
What is in it for me?
The Be Well Tracker provides you with the opportunity to confidentially learn about your personal levels of wellbeing, resilience, mood, stress and anxiety symptoms as well as perception of physical health. You will receive a free in-depth report upon completion of the assessment pointing you to areas you are doing well in, areas you can improve on, and areas you should consider to action. The tool also gives you access to a library of resources designed to support your journey toward improved wellbeing.
