We regularly witness someone who has become defined by illness, beginning to remember who they are beyond it.”

From tiny patient to big giver: seven years later, giving back to the Special Care Nursery.

Seven years ago, mum Carmen and daughter Kaiya received care and support from the Special Care Nursery at Eastern Health. Recently, they returned to visit and donate clothes for premature babies, like Kaiya.

“The clothes will help all the premature babies at the special care nursery because a lot of the mums aren’t prepared when they have a premature baby.” – Ally, Associate Nurse Unit Manager, Eastern Health Angliss.

Thank you Kaiya and Carmen for the wonderful donation, and to Eastern Health Foundation for helping make this possible.

“A reminder to pause and reflect on how we’re going.”

As mental health workers dedicate themselves to caring for others, it is equally important for them to take care of their own wellbeing.

This year’s Mental Health Month theme is ‘Together we Thrive’.

Sara, Clinical Nurse Manager at the Older Adult Mental Health Inpatient Unit, shares how small gestures like checking in with colleagues can make a difference.

“When somebody else takes the time to check in with you, it can be a reminder to pause and reflect on how we’re going.”

This year's theme, "Connection Changes Outcomes: In BPD, Every Interaction Matters," highlights the critical role that relationships and human connection play in recovery for people living with BPD.

For many people with the complex mental health condition known as borderline personality disorder (BPD), experiences of stigma, misunderstanding, rejection and invalidation can contribute to shame, distress and social disconnection. Conversely, empathy, safety, consistency and understanding can reduce crisis, strengthen hope and support recovery.

The headline event for BPD Awareness Week, is a webinar with Swiss child and adolescent psychiatrist, Professor Michael Kaess on Monday 5th October at 6pm AEDT. Bringing together evidence and clinical perspectives to strengthen understanding and support earlier, more effective intervention.
