Mental Health is a killer. Too often it is a Silent killer, without words and feelings being expressed. Perhaps that is why I like my music Loud. And on this day, the Anniversary of Eddie Van Halen's passing, I will celebrate his achievements amidst his own adversities. Because he has given so much to people like me ... he was with me on my daily Mental Health Walk to the local barista today. 🖖🤘

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?

In fact, every day in Australia, 9 people will die by suicide.

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them.

This October, I’ll be taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of mental illness and suicide.

I'm walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute, so that they can put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education, and digital services into the hands of the people who need them most.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.

My Updates

Big day of walking today ...

Not being at work the last 7 weeks - it's now holidays here in Tassie - can be misconstrued as 'easy'. It's not. I want to be at school - I'm a Teacher, and for the most part, really enjoy the young people and colleagues I work with - but unfortunately am unable to. Who knows what the future holds. But it's finally taken me to 'Take a Break before I Break.' to realise the importance of Mental Health, strangely not really supported by workplaces; I asked my HR if they would support Relaxation Massage to help address the Stress that had impacted me ... and it was a "No". I've now probably upset them by pointing out that the Act ('governing' such stipulations) is from 1988, 36 years ago, and "needs updating"...
