What do you do to chill out? It’s so frikkin easy for us to get caught up in our busy lives, checking our phones from first thing in the morning right up until our head hits the pillow, with a whirlwind of getting-shit-done in between. Do you find yourself waiting until your holidays to properly chill out? Or hanging for each weekend? Do you get so caught up and so busy that by the time you do actually make it…

Broken window theory basically states that wherever there is a broken window, criminals are more likely to swoop in on that area to cause more damage to property, tag with graffiti and continue to trash the place.

But in among all of this, there are just some days where you feel like shite. And when that happens, and you know so many different tools and techniques…
On 3 September I attended the First Responders Suicide Prevention Forum in Perth, leading up to World Suicide Prevention Day next week on 10 September. The theme was One World Connected. While this isn’t my usual happy post, I posted something similar last year. This topic is a really important one and needs to be talked about openly, by everyone.
