Watch all 5 parts of our Mental Health series.
PART 1
It’s estimated one in five Australians is experiencing a mental health issue – and for those of us who are well, chances are it’s a close friend or relative who’s struggling.
This is the first part in a special series as part of World Mental Health month, looking at a subject that’s become so prevalent in society.
First up – the people who are fighting – or have fought – a difficult, personal battle.
PART 2
In part 2 we look at a new training program, designed to help those who help us.
It seeks to aid police in identifying mental illness while on the job.
PART 3
Part 3 looks at the media’s role in its approach to reporting suicide and mental illness.
PART 4
Acquired brain injuries from contact sports are on the rise across the world – and they’re causing elite sports to revise concussion protocols.
But for some players who plied their trade in a different era, the effects of playing on from a knock to the head, are now coming back to haunt them.
PART 5
Support services in the community form a vital part in helping many get through day-to-day situations and it’s not just those affected by mental illness that need a helping hand at times.
