Health & Wellbeing
As Iron Sharpens Iron
How many men face mental health challenges due to work or life stressors but feel unable to talk about it? Statistics show it is a lot more than we may even realise.
Anxiety
‘The term anxiety covers a lot of fearful conditions. Things like phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorders. A certain amount of nervous energy and fear is actually healthy and quite normal.
Depression
We hear a lot more about mental health these days and that it’s an issue for many people.
Journeys: Navigating the winding path of life
‘For me, reconciliation is about how do we better ourselves as a community? How do we right that path? How do we become more inclusive?
Finding focus: Living with ADHD
‘I’m always thinking about lots of different things and even reflecting back as a teenager, I worked really, really hard to make sure I did well, which caused a lot of stress and definitely anxiety. So yeah there’s kind of pros and cons to something like ADHD.’
Hot and thirsty
Do you have a past you want to forget? Trying to ignore it by covering the pain with something else sometimes seems to be the only way, but the guilt and shame stick around.
Called to serve
Do you ever feel inspired to make a difference but feel too small and insignificant?
‘I sometimes find I get a bit overwhelmed when I start looking at how many different ways that we could be helping and serving.
Don’t underestimate the power of being friends with someone, being a neighbour to someone, visiting someone who doesn’t get out of the house very often. It might be your grandma. The needs could be closer to you than you think. Making a difference for one person is making a difference.’
Listen as Eloise, a young person inspired to make a difference in the world, talks about the call to serve others.
