Community Broadcasting Suicide Prevention Project - May 2022

What's in this month's segments?

This month we reflect on new research that reveals almost two thirds of Australians are not open about their mental health with others, and talk with veteran and nurse Brodie Moore about why it’s important for us all to share our mental health concerns.

We learn about new research by youth mental health organisation ReachOut which has found that stress about the future is having either a moderate or major impact on the well-being of nearly 55 percent of young people.

We remind ourselves that depression is a serious condition that can affects our physical and mental health, and look at some of the signs and symptoms that could indicate we’re depressed.

We take a look at how stress is impacting on our lives, and ways we can manage our stress and get the support we need to avoid negative coping mechanisms.

And we find out about Beyond Blue’s NewAccess for Small Business Owners program, which provides support for the mental health and wellbeing of small business owners.
