You may remember Joey Brogden on the podcast mid-last year (listen here if you haven't already: https://apple.co/3TeiVt9), discussing the BHP Foundation's Right care, first time, where you live program with Brain and Mind Centre (BMC) for Canberra.
Joey and Elian discuss core learnings that have come from this research program, the increasing youth involvement, and what their newly appointed positions on the National Youth Reference Group means.

You may remember Andrew Shim appearing on the podcast mid-last year (listen here if you haven't already: https://apple.co/40gU2OS), breaking down the history of advocacy over the years with fellow Brain and Mind Centre (BMC) Lived Experience Working Group member Rachel Laidler.
Andrew returned to open our consciousness to the prevalent interrelationship of mental health and autism. Andrew proudly identifies as a queer autistic person of colour who uses their voice to share and normalise the experiences they had. Intertwined with this identity are Andrew's experiences of mental ill-health and service access– which you will hear about in the episode.
If you're like me, my knowledge surfaces in the statistics, lives of individuals, and adversities faced by those with autism. When it comes to the prevalent mental health diagnoses among autistic people, I was horrified to hear the stark facts and figures faced by people with autism in our communities.

Smart tech is forever improving, more accurate, intuitive, personalised, and accessible. However, evidence of the helpfulness this technology can be to the individual is scarce.
These improvements mean clinicians can better deliver and support you and your mental health. Particular smart tech can track/ record core health aspects like sleep, activity and exercise, overall movement, light exposure (natural and digital), and menstrual cycles.
Dr Frank Iorfino’s research interests are in youth mental health and early intervention, specifically focusing on how digital health can change how services assess, manage and treat youth mental health problems.
Frank is head of the Digital Mental Health research program for the Youth Mental Health and Technology team at The Brain and Mind Centre. This program focuses on building sophisticated digital technologies through co-design that permit young people, their families and carers to be at the centre of clinical care and equal partners with clinicians in crucial treatment decisions.

This week I spoke with Dr Haley LaMonica on the Minderoo Foundation’s project Thrive By Five. The Brain and Mind Centre has been working closely with the foundation to change the lives of so many families by employing the proverb that "it takes a village to raise a child" through evidence-based research in early childhood development. This program aims to give every child a chance to reach their full potential and thrive by age five– ensuring they meet every neurodevelopmental and emotional marker.Thrive By Five has been rolled out in 9 countries, working closely with each country's, community's, and leader's local requirements and laws to ensure the program has the best possible outcomes. This has included the translation/vehicle of the delivery of the program.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afuturemeproblem/support

On this podcast I speak about my experience taking ketamine—don’t fret, in a clinical setting—for my mental health.I try to briefly explain how it works, why I am doing it, and my experience. It has been an episode I have recorded many times as I have wanted to get it right. However, I figured that this episode is an opener; therefore I am open to record and discuss more. Biting the bullet, here it is.

I 👏🏻 AM 👏🏻 BACK 👏🏻The second half of 2022 was equal parts a touch-and-go shit show, an absolute privilege, and a great teacher.When it comes down to it, I overcommitted, and as a result, I became quite unwell, let people/ teams down, and learned a lot about not being an island (constant journey). In this new first episode of 2023, I briefly go over the last 6–8 months, the new year ahead, and a slight change in rhythm. I am excited to reintroduce the podcast under the new title (I know, again!!) of a future me problem. A quintessential me term vis-a-vis overcommitting, saying yes and working out later—think Confessions of a Shopaholic scene, ‘good angles on APRs’, knowing I am going to do it but don’t have the space to right now, and finally working on this currently to solve a future me problem—early interventions.I’m keen to hear your feedback, topics you want me to discuss, and people you want me to chat to. DM me or email the pod at [email protected]. Tom from Podlike is continuing his editing prowess, proud to have my brother’s band’s music mixed in, and the exciting new addition of Carolyn’s illustrations 🤘🏻.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afuturemeproblem/support

Rounding off this year we have an episode from University of Sydney’s research program, right care first time where you live, funded by the BHP Foundation. We are checking back in with ACT Health– chatting with Joey Brogden (mental health advocate) and Sam Huntley (BMC). These two women have worked hard to change the inclusion narrative of health service design and delivery within ACT Health. I get to ask what have been the challenges, successes, and the learnings from being a research program site.EDITING | PodlikeMUSIC | Sampson--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afuturemeproblem/support

This week I was joined by the world's first Minister for Loneliness Tracey Crouch.In 2018 the UK announced a new ministerial position within, then Prime Minister, Theresa May's cabinet; this was the result of late Labor MP, Jo Cox's extensive advocation to address the threat their nation was facing in loneliness. In 2016 Jo Cox was horrifically murdered in a shooting and stabbing in Birstall, UK. Tracey Crouch was elected to carry this portfolio through, on behalf of her late friend and colleague.We clearly define loneliness and it's independent relationship to mental ill-health; noting that each have the ability to be the antithesis for the other.MUSIC | SampsonEDITING | Podlike--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afuturemeproblem/support

If you haven't had IG's algorithm suggest the account @sitwithwhit I suggest you write a letter. The woman behind, and in-front I guess, of this account is Dr Whitney Goodman.Whitney is a therapist who uses her platform to help us understand and identify things that impact our mental health, often when we don’t even realise it. The concept I got to dive into with Whitney was toxic positivity.Whitney has written the book titled 'Toxic Positivity'. This book was birthed during COVID and is the culmination of her years as a therapist and what she has personally witnessed on social media in regard to toxic language, inspiration quotes, greener grass, and the constant search for good vibes only. Whitney walks us through the understanding, identification, and impact toxic positivity can have on not just our own mental health and self-esteem, but that of those around us.MUSIC | SampsonEDITING | Podlike--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afuturemeproblem/support

I feel confident in saying that we have all been affected to some degree by the horrific events unfolding in Ukraine. It feels surreal to be witnessing a pivotal world-event through the palms of our hands. Last week I shared an article published by Mashable, 'Watching footage from Ukraine? Here's how to protect your mental health', written by journalist Rebecca Ruiz; a frequenter of many large publications like Mashable, Forbes, NBC News, and Al Jazeera America. I had the great opportunity to sit down with Rebecca and dive deeper into her article, its research, and how we can practically support ourselves and those around us as Russia continues to invade Ukraine. Rebecca and I talk specifically about current research from Dr E Alison Holman and Dr Roxane Cohen Silver on the trauma responses we as removed individuals can have to confronting reports of events/ subjects.EDITING | PodlikeMUSIC | Sampson--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afuturemeproblem/support
