Self Care is Not Selfish (Pt2) - How to support others, while looking after yourself - Jenna Robinson

* *COLLAB SERIES WITH LET'S TALK**A conversation can save someone's life.So, when someone you care about is not OK, how do you start the conversation? And just as importantly, make sure it leads to that person taking action (such as talking to a GP).In Part 2 of this series on "Self Care is Not Selfish," we look at how to foster deeper conversations about mental well-being, while also knowing your own limits and boundaries in helping someone else out.Jenna Robinson,  a running coach based in Birregurra, VIC and volunteer for the Let's Talk Foundation shares her own experience of post-natal depression. She describes how a conversation with a friend, was the beginning of her journey to recovery.We're also joined by Abbi Power from Let's Talk, as co-host, along with regular host, Kirsten Diprose. Both women have also experienced post natal depression and remember the conversations that led them to take action and ultimately get better.This is a conversation about having important conversations. It's full of different strategies about how to validate feelings, listen and employ the campfire analogy (that one is so you don't scare away the blokes with  too much eye contact!). We also discuss mental health first aid training and what to do if you're helping someone in a crisis situation.Are you interested in a collaboration series? Or sponsoring an episode?
