Aurora Healthcare Australia Proud to Support "Movember" and Perinatal Mental Health Week
It's that time of the year again where we get hairy - with purpose! This November, Aurora Healthcare Australia is proud to support "Movember" to help raise awareness for men's mental health - and hopefully help save more lives from suicide.
The "Movember" movement, a global campaign started in 2003 in Australia, aims at raising money, making a difference in mental health suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Not only is it loads of fun – it also brings people together for a great cause.
We are currently losing one man every minute of the day to suicide across the world - 60 men every hour. It's a cause close to our hearts that is worth talking about and doing everything we can to reduce this number and bring back mental health for all.
Perinatal Mental Health Week also falls in November (6th to 12th November), reminding us to create understanding, reduce stigma and provide education and support for new parents in this most vulnerable time.
Belmont Private Hospital and The Brisbane Centre for Postnatal Disorders (BCPND) partner this year to get more people involved and help them to find the right support for their loved ones, so that they can struggle less during the challenging transition into parenthood.
Data show that 1 in 5 mums and 1 in 10 dads will experience depression or anxiety, and that will infect their babies and families. Perinatal Mental Health Week was created in 2005 to help the community and health professionals to better understand perinatal mental health, and it has become a powerful, national collaboration of 45 organisations united to support new parents and families.
Overall, “People First, People Always” is not only the mission of Aurora Healthcare, but also what we are devoted to do every day. By caring for and helping different groups of people, we aim to bring mental health support and better life for all.
Mindfront Health Launches New Online FBT Workshop Series
After nearly half a year of preparation, Mindfront Health’s new online BT workshop series went debut on 26th October with the support of Shanghai Mental Health Center.
This workshop focuses on family-based therapy (FBT) for adolescent eating disorders, which is currently the first-line therapy for adolescent anorexia in the world. Adhering to the original intention of helping psychiatric professionals to master FBT treatment tools and go deep into the theory and practice of FBT, Mindfront Health hopes to empower professionals through the seven-day training to bring cutting-edge, evidence-based therapy to patients and families in China.
Dr. Chen Jue, Head of Psychosomatic Medicine – Eating Disorder Collaborative Study Group, China Medicine Association, gave an opening speech and systematically sort out the diagnosis and treatment framework for eating disorders and related treatments.
Dr. Kim Hurst, Senior Psychologist and ex-Executive Committee (Treasurer) for the Australian & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) who specializes in child and adolescent and young adult eating disorders was the tutor of the whole workshop. She led the audiences into the theoretical development, evidence-based foundation, three stages and treatment arrangements of FBT.
In addition to a solid and systematic theoretical foundation, the workshop also disassembled the specific practical operation step by step, accompanied by a practical DEMO video demonstration. The audience was split into groups, sharing and discussing the cases, and had a circular questioning practice guided by the tutor.
Two hours passed in a flash. With rich and detailed content and interactive practical exercises, the study continued. Students and teaching assistants actively exchange ideas in online chatting room.
The success of the new workshop convinces us that every coming Wednesday will be amazing with the workshop series. The well-designed course, with real-time simultaneous interpretation and after-school exercises, will break down the language barriers and benefit a lot for those who want to pursuit a career in mental health field.
In the past two years, the “Mindfront Academy” has launched two online workshops on the themes of "group therapy" and "teenage DBT", which have won wide acclaim for their structured and practical content. In the future, the team will present more online workshops from theory to practical operation. Please stay tuned!
