It was wonderful to host our Inaugural Hand-n-Hand Networking Event in Melbourne last evening, in recognition of Mental Health Month and World Mental Health Day. We had some great presentations by our founders Dr Kym Jenkins and Dr Tahnee Bridson as well as special guest speakers Senator Hollie Hughes and Noria Letts. The event served as great opportunity to promote the importance of mental health in workplace and the role that peer support can provide as an effective pre-clinical intervention for all health related staff. Thank you to everyone who attended and we look forward to seeing you at the next event: Dr Katie Allen Western Health Adriene Lee Allen Xiao Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) Angela O'Connor (Magarry) Angus Clelland Mental Health First Aid International Dr Anita Munoz Dr Bhavi Ravindran Bindiya Sethi Candy D'Menzie Gavin Bunshaw Catherine N.

✨Facilitator Highlight✨- Karin Jodlowski-Tan "I feel honoured and humbled to be able to give back to my profession and colleagues, to be a part of the fabric of connectedness. It helps us all to feel a part of the whole, and that we are not alone in how we feel. Sometimes we ride on top of the tides, and sometimes we feel washed out - that's when having our peer group helps us stay grounded. I learn so much from our sharing, debriefing, finding solutions - it's the togetherness that's foundational to feeling supported." #personalgrowth #mentalhealth #worldmentalhealthday #healthcare #mentalhealthmatters #selfcarematters #selfdevelopment #peersupportworker #mentalhealthrecovery #peersupportgroups #healthcareworkers #healthcareworker #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #peersupport #peersupportgroup #endthestigma #mentalhealthsupport #workplacedevelopment #healthcareprofessionals #supportnetwork #healthcareheroes #doctor
