I have been working in a variety of mental health settings since I commenced training as a Psychologist in 1994. Since the completion of my training, I have worked in Adolescent and Family Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug rehabilitation, private psychiatric hospital settings, and private practice. In 2011 I moved into higher risk/first responder mental health settings, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service (both the Queensland and Victorian division), Indigenous Primary Health Care, a Centre of Excellence in trauma treatment, and the Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board (then the "MFB", now Fire Rescue Victoria) in Melbourne. I also consulted for a global Health and Safety organisation as a Senior Psychologist, where my focus was on pro-active organisational strategic interventions into mental fitness and wellbeing. In 2018, I was awarded the MFB’s Chief Officer/Chief Executive Officer’s Special Recognition Award for “Outstanding contribution and leadership in mental health in the MFB”. This award was given in in recognition of my strategic and operational role in bring best practice mental health literacy and resiliency based training into the MFB, for all employees. This was an Australasian first for any first responder organisation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fb74e4677174709e226fe0/1627174129995-YN0B79VYC2AEIESKBXNZ/5YcHayTL.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fb74e4677174709e226fe0/1627268233989-SKCIJX3TXBC1RE1C2F85/APS_Member-Logo.jpg About https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2021-07-25 https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/work-with-me daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/testimonials daily 0.75 2021-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Testimonials https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/mental-fitness daily 0.75 2021-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fb74e4677174709e226fe0/ef1d1f9a-3b54-4b22-a3f0-3952532f2d6c/MF.png Mental Fitness - The mental fitness roadmap Essentially, when it comes to mental health and wellbeing, there are 4 key domains. The first is GREEN, which is where a person is mentally healthy. Here they are taking good care of their mental fitness with things like daily self-care, exercise, healthy boundaries and good social connectedness. Maybe they have always been here, but it’s more likely that they have been down the road map at some point, and learnt what they needed to do to get back to the GREEN. The second is YELLOW, where a person is reacting to life’s stressors, but still coping. When someone’s in the YELLOW, they’re usually able to contain their distress – that “mask” that we feel we need to wear, to remain professional, is still in place. It can feel hard at times to do it though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fb74e4677174709e226fe0/1627183586410-0E2QY0YTMLR4Z96Z7KGM/Red+brain.jpg Mental Fitness The third is ORANGE, where a person is being more significantly impacted, and is really struggling to cope. This is where the mask is slipping, and people are probably noticing that things aren’t going well. Maybe they are also being impacted by the person’s mental state. In the ORANGE can be experiences like burnout, chronic/high stress, grief and loss, and loneliness. These are not mental illnesses, but can have a major impact on our wellbeing. The last is the RED section, where someone would meet the diagnostic criterial for a mental illness, and essentially their whole world is now being negatively impacted. Wearing the “mask”, if even possible to do, will probably just add to the overall exhaustion. Others are probably aware of their distress, and possibly getting burnt out by it themselves. People can and do go up and down the mental health continuum, depending on what is going on for them. However people don’t just ‘dip’ into the RED – this is a space where mental illness has been going on for some time. https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/course-welcome daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/course-welcome/week4-9ra9d monthly 0.5 2020-11-11 https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/course-welcome/week1-z4264 monthly 0.5 2020-11-11 https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/course-welcome/week2-2lt6l monthly 0.5 2020-11-11 https://www.actmindfullyconsulting.com.au/course-welcome/week3-hytnk monthly 0.5 2020-11-11
