I was thinking about coming up with a long contrarian rant to balance out the positive rationality in the linked article above. But who could actually disagree with Aaron's argument?
How about the type of politicians that have the attitude of: 'sounds good sure, but it won't get me votes, so let 'em' suffer?' Even they would never actually say on record that they don't care about mental health; so you'd have to try and intrude on a private conversation with a politician using a super-stealth boom microphone.
Invisible boom microphone...
To channel someone who would trash the article, I would have to pretend to be the worst kind of MEST conquering Scientologist; ie Tom Cruise. My contrarian argument would then be:
"Those that are labelled as mentally ill by the Nazi psychiatrists actually have too many Thetans blocking their 'money' audits. So cut the government mental health budget in half and give it to the 'Church of Scientology'. As an added perk, part of the money, along with some mile-high Qantas cash, will help fund a new Jet for John Travolta. (a new child, not a new plane)
Those that don't come for a free e-meter reading, then sign up to give most of their money to reach clear level 'Maverick' will, unfortunately, not get all the benefits. It will only be a matter of time though when even these people will accept the gift of Dianetics by the founder of the Church, Old L Mother Hubbard. This will open them up to the Truth and they will start to charge the Battlefield Earth to total clarity."
That's the best counter-argument I can come up. I'm sure that someone else could do better but they wouldn't include a deeply cruel and offensive joke about John Trevolting's dead son. Sorry! If you think you're life is tough, spare a thought for those stuck in the Scientology retro DC-8 sci-fi cult. They are not only persecuted but also laughed at about their beliefs by conformist tyrants like me.
Can I conclude with a serious point? How in Xenu's name have I got myself in the position of talking about Scientologists when I was supposed to be plugging an article about Australia's mental health budget? Sorry, but back to some more Cruisy couch jumping for joy:
Think for a moment about what life must be like for the brainwashed rank-and-file in Hubbard's smothered cupboard. I would imagine that de-programming these people would require some seriously dedicated mental health professionals. Then maybe these victims can turn to healthier world-views such as the newer 'X files, Matrix and Heaven's Gate-inspired' cults whose followers believe that the world is a simulated virtual reality powered by an optical quantum super-string computer and we can all, with the aid of magical mushroom technology, communicate with the Rigellian fleet to make hybrid 'look-who's-talking' babies by inserting probes up Hollyweird celebrities.
Whoa! The tin foil anorak wearing smurfs were right?
I ridicule the newer space-cake cults for their comical implausibility, but they are so much more believable, and I would even say safer, than L Ron's galactic love shack B-52s and sexually repressed Ethan Hunts. Much of the 'we live in a Matrix' stuff has a non-zero probability of being the Truth in my opinion. And it is much cooler than believing that super-advanced aliens use hydrogen bombs and fly airplanes.
So, for any Scientologists out there, I can hook you up with 'people' who will gladly donate their time to teach you about 'the way of Marshall Amped-up Dough Applebread, K-Neo-Noo & Fox network sex addict Mulder'.
Warning*: do not read article if you are triggered by the following: Ghandi, psychology, mental health, contrarianism, V8 supercars, cost-conscious and vote-seeking politicians, extremism, Scientology, Thetans, chakras, Qantas, John and Neo-Jet Travolta, e-meters, Top Gun, Dianetics, Nursery Rhymes, Truth, Wahlburgers, conformists, tyrants, Xenu, X-files, the Matrix, Rigellians, cults, Mission Impossible, the New World Order and Donny Loves Jenny.
*Warning about warning**: do not read warning or article if offended by abrasive dishumour. If you think that Joan Rivers is better off dead for her hurtful Holocaust jokes, then you probably won't like my joke in the article about raping Bill Cosby.
**Warning about warning about warning***: stop reading and go back to liking vaguely positive posts about sunshine and rainbows that make you feel good for about 2 seconds before you go back to realising that all the hopes and dreams that you had have evaporated before your eyes and you are alone; except for your 2 cats Misty and Mr Jingles who treat you worse than your ex did but you love them because your unconscious mind revels in being a victim.
***Warning about warning about warning about warning: Don't read warning about warning about warning as TRIGGER ALERT for victim blaming.
Disclaimer: The author of the linked article and I have known each other for something like 25 years. I can't think of any major clash of world-view type debates between us. So I blame the 'argument from mate I went to school with' logical fallacy for my uncritical opinion about his fantastic article.
Referring to the important matter of stopping online discrimination against shut-ins
Dearest glorious Facebook (FB) leaders, (without whom we would be knocked back to stone age tribalism)
I have now received 2 gentle warnings from you that I have many outstanding friend requests and should cancel them all and that I should only be friending people I know well offline. Um, Why? I'm not a scammer or a spammer just a stammerer.
Please stop discrimination towards people like me with social anxiety. I can't meet people offline. The non-techno-phobes in my mental health team tell me it can be great for my psyche to interact with people and if it is mainly online, then that is far better than depressing loneliness.
Do I friend people on FB I don't know offline? Yes, yes, yes! Is it against Facebook policies? I don't know, because like most, I have not read the terms & conditions. And I think that you can just shut down my page without giving me any warning or fair trial. It is guilty without any ability to be proven innocent. Perhaps there is an appeals system I'm not aware of; but I have heard from some of my more extreme FB friends that they have been just shut down. They of course just set up another account under a false name!
I do like regulated capitalism, but one of the biggest problems with multi-national mega-corporations who don't really answer to anyone is that they are amoral and have no imperative to care about their customers unless it hurts their business model. But wait; I'm not even a customer of Facebook. It's a free service and I am merely a tool for the real customers, right?
When I see people on Facebook spewing out hate speech like the frigging Shermon Tank from UPF, it's a bit rich to tell me to stop friending people I don't know in the real world, no? I won't read your T&Cs or your T&As so I don't expect you to read my draft manifesto.
I promote Peace, love, harmony, humility & kindness. But I am a nobody. A mostly benevolent microscopic bacterium that you can easily eradicate with your mega-corp anti-septic and anti-skeptic chemical spray.
I have had a great experience overall on Facebook so I will like, comment, share and poke you all and would love to send some of the FB elites friend requests too! There is always the block button if I am not following my own guidelines. Facebook is a great platform and, along with the even more glorious Google, the closest thing that we currently have to a global consciousness.
Partly because of technology, I am greatly optimistic about the future and with your purchase of the Oculus Rift, you too are visionaries! So please don't delete my account! As per your recommendation, I have set up a FB group page to promote my philosophy.
If you have an answer to the question of why it's worth attempting to triumph over adversity, please comment below. Thanks :)
As well as sitting here with a toilet paper nun's habit on my head, I'm trying
to compile a wide range of views for the last chapter of my book about my nihilistic obsession with the greatest Wheel of Fortune co-host called: Vanna White: What's the frigging point when I don't even turn the frigging letters anymore?
Disclaimer & Apologies
Speak no Dave. See no Dave. Hear no Dave.
My thoughts on this topic will be filtered through my depression lobe so probably won't be too uplifting but what are you gonna do? This is not a rhetorical question. What are YOU going to do? If you think you can edit this finger banging jumble of symbols into something worth reading, then please get in touch!
I'm deeply sorry about how Benji Madden-ly long this article got. Don't read it; I implore you. I might Bed Periscope a 5 minute version as I know how much everyone loves my high-energy inspirational presentational Muppet-ational style...
I make no claims on Truth and try to remain open to changing my mind; but I accept that I may have locked myself into justifying my current inability to work in order to soothe my brain. This mindset may also ironically make it very difficult to climb up the depression spiral ladder abyss hole; smothered by a comforting Blanket Jackson. This doesn't make any sense. So don't integrate anything I have to say because mental illness is contagious! Run away!!! "Running away will make you free" Kenny Loggins mis-quote.
Would you prefer to have Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain or Bill Cosby as your father?
Trudi: "Why not attempt to triumph over adversity? The
way I see it is there are two sides to this. 1. yes when bad things happen we
can accept its fate and allow them to either affect our stability or not."
Dave: I don't think we have full control over how adversity
will affect our stability. It's not a mostly inconsequential and easy 'choice' like
whether to watch The Bachelor, The Bachelorette or The Baby Bachelor. A certain percentage of
individuals will crumble under adversity and I think it's best to comfort them
rather than victim-blame them. Do we really think that on some level they have allowed this to happen to
them and somehow made a choice to be miserable? I totally love wallowing in misery by listening to the Starlight Express soundtrack on repeat, but most don't.
Trudi: "We can adopt the attitude that everything
happens for a reason and that reason is to learn and to grow from the
experience."
Dave: This is a comforting probable delusion for lots of people, but not
me. In the Universe, it appears that shyte just happens; some good and
some bad; and that consciousness is likely just an accident rather than a
certainty. As 'Scary Spice' Connor knifed on the picnic table "No Fate." Spiritual growth is mostly a construct to convince ourselves that we are
constantly leveling up in the RPG of life. Sure, life can still be full of joy and
hope and sugar and spice once we reach the level cap, but some of us will be force-fed our internal snails and external puppy
dogs' asses. I prefer to think in terms of change rather than growth.
This was right before she tried to murder a mad & evil scientist for being not at all evil & mad
Trudi: "2. we have the power to change our life and
make it which we wish it to be."
Dave: To an extent I'd agree but we should support and help
those that can't do this without any victim blaming or demonisation.
Trudi: "The shame of it is most people do not believe
in their own power the power of their thoughts and wishes and desires to come
true and to manifest into reality they do not have this faith in themselves
they think they are helpless and victims of fate. The truth is the mind is a
tremendously powerful tool and our focused intent provides the fuel."
Dave: I would agree to some extent but we need to be very
careful that we're not victim blaming. Being born a poor crack baby is very
different to my privileged upbringing where I was fed only the best crack that boosted my immune system. But absolutely some people do and can
change to an extent and then help others. As long as we keep the thinking 'pulling up'
rather than 'pushing down'. The language of the self-help new age movement to
me often seems like I'm being blamed for not trying hard enough.
Trudi: "The physical body is the final instrument of
all the other planes, the end result as it were, and it is of this fact that we
do not know how to take full advantage of! It is on the physical plane that we
can reap the advantage of things started on the inner planes and can enjoy them
fully.
One of the Occult teachings regarding the planes is that a
man cannot take fullest advantage of any one plane until he has gained some
knowledge, and CONTROL, of the plane above that one – we cannot fully use any
one plane until we have some power on the plane above it.
Another thing you should acquire is that you should be able
to explore and map out the inner planes, or rather set up your own paths thru
these inner planes as there is nothing there now."
My control over my inner planes
Dave: Whether big T True or little t true or not T&A true, some
would agree with this general idea while others not. This, to me, is part of
in-group / out-group jargon displayed by pretty much all
ideologies; even people from something seemingly innocuous yet fabulous like the Salsa dancing scene do the same thing to keep me out.
Human flourishing should be possible no matter what mostly
harmless unfalsifiable claims are added on top. Jew,
Buddhist, Muslim, Bad Religion fan club member. All these people should be able to
lead reasonably happy lives without having to even know about other ideologies.
And if my brain adds no extra planes to existence, then some level of 'happiness' should still
be possible for me. Remember that I don't think I'm fully in control of
what I believe in anyway. Humans will be way better off if we keep reminding
ourselves about what we have in common rather than the fact that others believe in
fairy godmothers while I believe in Marlon Brando godfathers...
Trudi: " This physical world is the tail end of a
number of other “worlds” as you know and the CAUSES OF THE END RESULTS on this
plane are in those inner planes. When you know how to penetrate them and study
the causes of coming events you can alter those events somewhat depending on
your power to do so. These things are not trivial believe me and their
acquirement will give you a sense of power and peace that will go a long way to
make up for what you may have suffered in this past mixed-up life."
Dave: Again, if these ideas help you in your Semi-Charmed Life and harm no one, great.
To me, a sense of peace should be possible by thinking about nothing. No gods,
no dimensions, no quantum foam; just calming the brain and trying to minimise the harmful
delusions rattling around our heads. If others need to add on harmless probable fantasies in order to achieve this, then that's fine.
Trudi: "The most important thing, that can be achieved,
is to learn, in a positive way, how to contact your Inner Powers, or Forces, or
whatever name you feel like giving them and, which is still more important of
all, learn how to USE your Inner Powers in a positive manner. You have them,
you know, but as long as you do not use them, by being ignorant of them, they
stand there, doing nothing to protect you, while you suffer the “slings and
arrows of outrageous
fortune”
Dave: I'm a negative person by nature. It's like Batman's
Joker is constantly cracking wise that I'm no darn good and that hurting others
will make me feel better. I mostly compensate for this but I've been like this
my whole adult life. Some might just label this as a metaphor for depression
and perhaps that's exactly what it is but it could also be just part of my core
personality. Again, ignorant people can flourish without caring about any of the stuff
we're talking about. I've written before about my happy bogan model.
I, of course, am not a happy bogan and need to justify my own existence in a convoluted quasi-philosophical way to protect
my ego. I'll claim that I'm trying my best and unable at the moment to
engage my inner goddess powers as much as I'd like to. I have been a bit mean
about my mother publicly but she's doing the best she can too. I seriously
don't believe that she has the ability to act like a supportive mother to me.
And just like Candy and Tori Spelling, the only answer is to minimise the harm
and try to deal with Tatum O'Neal when she crashes the party.
Trudi: "You are incarnated in a physical body for the
purpose of learning how to conquer matter – (thy kingdom come, thy will be done
ON EARTH as it is in heaven) – and if you do not start to learn how to conquer
matter you will have to come back time and time again, over and over, until you
do learn this lesson to overcome the illusion of matter."
Dave: It would be cool if this were true but what do I do if
I can't believe it? I have no memory of past lives and am not convinced by all the evidence that I am the reincarnation of Joan Rivers & Hop-Frog. I don't even believe in a Hey Soul Sister! So yes, the
Universe for me is a lot more bleak without the band Train. But I still should be able to do something
useful with my life. And if I'm wrong, that's cool too, but this shouldn't hinder me
from engaging as positively with JW and Mormon door knockers as I am able. Does that make any
sense?
Trudi: "Actually you know all this unconsciously and
instinctively, deep down inside of you, but there is so much confusion in this
life about what our aims are really supposed to be, due to the petty
distractions of everyday living, and a deep outer ignorance of fundamental
facts about the occult significance of physical life, that it is very hard for
the ordinary person, until he begins to study the occult, to find out what the
exact goal of living should be, and to get some idea of what the exact process
should be to achieve this goal."
Dave: I enjoy many of the petty life distractions like Facebook,
Tweets complaining about Facebook, Instagram photos of cats trolling the dogs of Facebook, rich hippie posers boasting about living off the grid on Facebook while burning coal to produce the electricity to boast about their delusions of living off the grid, Tumblr posts moaning about how the idiots have taken over Facebook, S&M Lego Facebook groups, 6 second Vines showing Facebook trolling keyboard warrior World Record attempts, Facebook posts quoting lines from The Social Network, Periscope live streams of me reading out my World famous Facebook posts about Bronies, the sexy witches of Facebook, Pinterest boards collecting the best abusive Facebook comments directed at me, Ashley Madison forums dedicated to tips on how to be an anonymous catfish on Facebook, Blogger blog posts about Mark Zuckerberg's dog Beast, the extremist anti-vaccers of Facebook who want the 'weak' children to die, the Unicorns of Facebook who are waging wars on boring brown vanilla horses, ironic posts against capitalism on Facebook tapped out from Apple smartphones, and laughing at poor people who can't afford Facebook.
This got me to the 5000 friend limit in 12 hours
Most big World Views claim to provide some meaning to the lives
of their adherents. These World Views usually contradict on major things.
They can't possibly all be correct even for the foolish Post-Modernist, right? But they
can give people comfort and don't need to be True.
For me, the goal is Peace, Love & Harmony through
Humility, Kindness, Technology & Humour. This is compatible with all
moderates and it's only the fundamentalists and extremists that get uppity
really about all of humanity coming together as one. But one could definitely
ask why this is a worthy goal for an absurdist de facto atheist like me! Why
should I care when I don't think that the Universe has any grand meaning at all? It's
a good question and one that I should be able to answer without needing to add
on unfalsifiable claims or using a single reference to Star Wars or Star Trek. I want humanity to evolve into something better: a new
emergent property that some call the singularity but I call the tech hive mind. Why
bother with this futuristic possible fantasy? Because it's sci-fi cool, it should
reduce human suffering and it is the only chance we've got in my opinion of
breaking away from our current Universe that will eventually give in to entropy. If this
sounds similar to you to New Age fluff stuff, then it makes sense to me that many
people have similar goals but are walking different paths. I think that the old
religions and spiritual movements have had their chance and not brought about
the new age. If it hasn't happened already, it won't no matter how much wishful
thinking the various adherents have to their favourite flavour of ice cream
deity. Even the peppermint choc-chip ice-cream monster hasn't managed to bring humanity together and reduce IBS symptoms.
So Lucas sells the franchise to Disney in the hope that they don't Jar Jar Binks it up too
Science & Technology is the only thing that is advancing
I think. That's the biggest difference for me and why I am a scientific
materialist to the core. Even better is that none of us have to believe in anything to make
this happen. We're all along for the ride whether we like it or not. Have I
justified my World View and explained why I sort of bother to attempt to triumph over
my current adversity? Probably not. But the future will happen whether I'm living
in a tent or a deluxe G-pod storage container or a padded cell with Geoffrey 'no fate' Connor or inside my fantasy
Ball World where I've cut myself off from the rest of the Universe.
Trudi: "A start has to be made somewhere to learn about
the other bodies you possess, and to learn how to use them. To learn how to
transfer your consciousness, from the physical body to these other bodies at
will, is just about the best and most pleasant rewarding type of growth that
you could find to advance along the path leading to Illumination. These powers
can come only with use and not by talking about them."
Dave: Whether this is reality or fantasy doesn't really
matter as no harm is done either way. If my consciousness is locked inside my
brain, then so be it. Technological advances could actually unlock for all what
the Spiritualists claim they can currently achieve. As Olivier Newton John sang, in her song 'Culture Shock', about the singularity: "it's the only hope we've got."
Trudi: "For example to be more specific – can you set
or lie down and bring up images of persons or things into your mind mirror? Can
you see, perhaps dimly, these figures and shapes? Can you then use your
will-imagination to move them about and place them in different positions and
make them do different things? Everyone can do this to some extent. Do you know
what these images really are? These images are Etheric-Astral matter images and
you are seeing them with the third eye. The single eye mentioned in the
bible."
Dave: Etheric-Astral Platonic matter images they could be sure. I'll
stick with the materialistic explanation until such time as I'm convinced by
any evidence to the contrary. Again, whether this claim is True or Not
shouldn't make a difference to whether we can lead flourishing lives. The Fast & Furious movies are just as entertaining either way.
Trudi: "As I said we all have this power, in some
degree, and it only remains to give it careful attention to develop it and thus
double your abilities and talents to be able to handle life’s tough problems.
Do you want to have less?"
I get sent this stuff and I feel guilty because I'm not impressed or awe-struck...
Summary?
Building mental resilience or toughness seems to be talked
about a lot at the moment and I think this is great. But some people will be
crushed temporarily or even permanently by adversity and we currently have no way
to fix them all. As I've said before, if you are functional, then it is your
responsibility to help out those who are struggling. If you know 5 people, about 1 will be having major mental
troubles for whatever reason this year and just being there and supporting them through
this can help a lot. No Judgment Day. No Machine Gun Preaching. No The Secret self-help BS positivity especially if you're talking with me. Just kind & humble human interaction. This is what I enjoy the most
about my online interactions. That and getting abused by extremists to fulfill
my masochistic quota...
Say yes to bene-violently trolling extremists in the name of World Peace
So can I summarise any of this? The Universe likely just is. Donald Trump's Miss Universe doesn't seem to care about you or me or even Oprah's best super-friend Gayle. There are probably no
deities or higher dimensions of existence. We are all alone like ET with the burden of
consciousness and the cutest Drew Barrymore. It's just us and it just is. We puny & deluded humans are merely trying to work out
what we can do with our lives to give us our own meaning and work together to
improve humanity.
Find some meaning to your life. It could be a harmless
delusion or deluxe tin-foil suite of delusions. Use this to flourish as best you can.
When the pus storms hit, ride the phlegm waves, punch the great green discharge sharks and ask for help. Then make sure to help others when they
are getting pus pooped on by the random absurdity of life and the nastiness of their mother complexes.
In conclusion:
Don't take my advice on anything as I'm a life drop-out and widely regarded as spiritual garbage... Remember that humour serves no purpose in our multi-dimensional super-string computer powered simulation.
Successful guy gloating about not having depression
I genuinely like hearing that others are doing better than me and more importantly are being more productive. I'd be even more depressed if everyone else did as little as me. And society would crumble too in about a day and it wouldn't be Fallout fun.
Today I slept. Had 2 panic attacks. Wife had more. And I played with Lego because I seem to have regressed into childhood. Rather than returning to work, perhaps Billy Madison schooling is required. I would pay more attention in English the second time around and Chris Farley would come back to life to be my bus driver.
WHO ARE YOU? We are the emergence. You are the emergence too. Why are we asking ourselves questions?
YOU HAVE A NAME, RIGHT? Yes. The Chaffey gut bacteria culture empire that controls my parents’ minds unoriginally named my biological container David Phillip. But this is a very imprecise definition of who I am.
GREAT! NOW WE’RE GETTING SOMEWHERE. THANK YOU. WHAT DO YOU DO? We regularly dissolve into the technological hive mind to spread peace, love & harmony through humility & kindness. This is only currently possible through primitive social networking platforms such as Facebook and Cloob where we reach out to both lovers and haters. As the technology of human-machine interfacing improves, it will become possible to directly communicate with other human minds.
RIGHT... SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU ARE RATHER DELUDED. DO YOU ACCEPT THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE CASE? Yes. We are all deeply flawed and deluded. It is part of the human condition that we must endure during the transition to the global consciousness; or the singularity as some of you call it.
WHAT GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS? LIKE HIPPIE NEW AGE LET’S ALL MEDITATE AND DO TELEPATHY? Yes and No. The missing element is the technology to make global mind melding truly possible. The internet is the current primitive version that fails to come up to spec but will improve over time.
SO ARE YOU PROPOSING SOMETHING LIKE THE MOVIE THE MATRIX? Yes and No. We will not be slaves. We will all be one. Our frail biology will merge with more robust technology. Robots won't crush our burnt-out skulls. We will all evolve into a new emergent property: global consciousness with powers that we cannot imagine. Our current puny human brains are a network of brain cells that have the emergent property of consciousness. The next level of consciousness evolution will be a global network of brains connected together through technology similar to how the internet networks computers together now. A project such as Wikipedia is a good example of the kind of collaboration that will be greatly enhanced as our brain networking technology improves. Do not worry if you cannot fathom this future. It is not detrimental to your ability to thrive in the current society as long as you remain able to adjust to the gradual improvements in technology and do not start throwing sabots into the wooden gears of textile looms to break the cogs.
ARE YOU NOT ALSO A MENTAL PATIENT? WHY SHOULD ANY SANE PEOPLE NOT JUST WRITE YOU OFF AS CRAZY? They are free to do this. We are hopeful for a bright and peaceful future and do not wish to harm anybody in the process. Some will laugh off our ideas and continue on with their lives of probable futility. That is fine. The Universe is absurd. There is no reason to believe that there is any ultimate meaning at all.
RIGHT. BUT WE STILL KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU! If you wish for something more compatible with our present culture, then just read Dave Chaffey's LinkedIn profile: au.linkedin.com/in/davechaffeyhippie
WARNING: COULDN'T THINK OF MENTAL HEALTH JOKES TODAY
I've said this before, but it's the moral responsibility of the functional people around the struggling person to help. This applies to workplaces and families and any group.
You might think you're top shyte and superior to those having troubles but there's a decent chance that it could be you struggling in the future. If you still believe any of these myths, please take a look at the evidence: http://www.mpuuc.org/mentalhealth/myths.html
Scientologists tell schizophrenics to stop taking their meds. Great advice Xenu!
I'm not saying these are easy conversations. If you have empathy, then anything you say will help. If you struggle with empathy, then ask someone who does to have a chat with them.
Don't wait for the person to 'drown' and expect them to be fully proactive in their recovery. It is one of my key findings that I'm expected to be way more proactive than I am capable with my mental illness.
Some of the Bible is pretty good...
For those who don't know, one of my plans is to be a mental health advocate once I am able. Tough job, but employers would be happy with any increased productivity and employees would have a single point of contact to liaise with all necessary parties.
Such a person would have definitely benefited me before I spiraled down. Many colleagues have been great but my bosses just don't know how to handle me and to be fair it doesn't come naturally to them and we haven't been trained in the touchy feely stuff.
Bravo to organisations such as Beyond Blue who are trying to improve work culture. Large employers like mine are really starting to listen!
One in five Australian workers is currently experiencing a mental health condition
