October is Mental Health Month and the the theme is ‘Let’s Talk About It’. If you feel you’re experiencing a mental health issue, the first and most important step is to reach out for help.
This could be speaking to someone you trust, such as a close friend or family member, to share how you’re feeling. It’s also essential to consult a healthcare professional—whether it’s a general practitioner (GP), psychologist, or counsellor —who can assess your situation and guide you toward appropriate treatment or support options.
Acknowledging that you’re struggling and seeking support early can make a significant difference in managing and improving your mental health.

What do you see here in this image? It might suggest an eco-friendly or green burial. In Australia, perceptions of death and dying are shaped by a blend of cultural, religious, and social influences.
There has also been a growing interest in alternative approaches, like eco-friendly burials and death literacy movements, which encourage open discussions about death, dying, and planning for the end of life. The overall trend in Australia is toward greater acceptance and personalisation, with more people seeking to have a say in how they and their loved ones are remembered, and less reliance on traditional, religious-driven practices.
A good friend, Olivia Andrews has written a very special and meaningful piece on ‘Doing Death Differently’. Olivia has shared her experiences so far working in end-of-life support and death care and this article reflects on the way our society perceives death and dying, and some practical tips for thinking outside the box.
