The issue of Mental health is only getting bigger. I've been in education for over 20 odd years and in that time the attitude has gone from "Just get better will ya and cheer up" to having a multitude of supports on site for both students and staff. The number of kids who have psychologists etc. is amazing. I still believe that the parents of our students don't allow the kids to build the necessary resilience to get through everyday issues as they hover over them and tend to believe every word that comes out of the kids mouth.
Anyways a good thread to have and I hope all on here are doing well despite the horror show of last week!!

Everyone here that has and interest in learning more about mental health , might be wise to have a listen to Nicho in our Podcast thread
I'll paste like here too
( BONUS , hearing about some Sharks Players too )

My exam is done. I did my best. I hope it was enough.

There were no Cronulla-style capitulations, so that may be positive.

Spoke with a therapist yesterday. Been a ****ing **** 6 weeks.

Just remember guys, it ain't weak to speak. No matter what age you are or whatever you may be struggling with. If it's important to you then it's important to talk about it.

Hope everyone on here is doing alright.

I was seeing a councillor for quite a while a few years back. Can't tell you how much it helped me, definitely worth it.

100% agree mate. Glad it worked for you buddy.

Thanks mate. Stick with it for as long as it takes, if you have a good councillor you will come out of it well.

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

I'm thinking about talking to a professional. I did a few years ago, it helped a lot.

The one I’m speaking too is absolutely brilliant. One session in and I’ve already turned a corner it feels. Highly recommend him. If you’re interested let me know and I can give you his details buddy.

If the bloody thing wasn't writing properly every sentence, a few weeks in the pencil case would sort it out!

Good on you mate. Just having someone hear those heavy things can lighten the load a little.
The wife and I have a family councillor person we chat to regularly... mainly so we can blame her if the kids don't become well adjusted adults. And she's kind of hot. I'm not sure I'm doing this right...

I’m 50/50 if I think the woman in the last couple sentences is the councillor or the wife

Next thing you need to do is get your cheese grater in for some counselling sessions

I passed that Exam.

They must have felt sorry for me. I'm not a smart person.
