The festive season may be a time for family and celebrations for many people, but for others it can be a period of loneliness and desperation.
For those doing it tough, you are never alone.
A plethora of resources and help is available to assist the most dire circumstances â including the Royal Flying Doctor Service Small Talk, Big Difference campaign and the Federal Governmentâs Head to Health website.
RFDS Outback Mental Health clinical lead Dr Tim Driscoll said the campaign website contained podcasts, webinars and downloadable resources which aimed to promote better connections to support mental health and wellbeing.
Exclusive: A government-sponsored social media campaign will urge Australians to Make Time this summer to tend to their mental wellbeing after being battered by bushfires, drought and the pandemic. Australians are being asked to share photos, videos and messages about how to overcome mental distress on a new website launched today (Wednesday) aimed at promoting resilience. Or, people can post anywhere on social media using #MakingTime, and their stories will automatically be incorporated into the conversation. The discussion on the website will be about sharing helpful advice and strategies with others to help them cope, even during their toughest days.
