1) 5 Little Ways To Show Your Kids The Importance Of Mental Health
When children scrape their knees, they know it’s an injury that needs to be treated. But when they suffer from something mentally, they might not know it’s just as important to have their minds cared for too. Maintaining good mental health should be considered a lesson not only for adults but for children as well.
2) Learn from me: speak out, seek help, get treatment
Almost exactly 30 years before, as an intern in the central Queensland city of Rockhampton, I had tried to kill myself. Three decades later, I am now President of a specialist college, but I had kept the entire episode to myself and tried to forget it. I am deeply ashamed of not learning from my own experience and using it to help others.
I hope it isn’t too late.

5) Depression: The Strongest Predictor of Impairment of Work, Social Life, and Family Life
