Mark MI words

I have spoken to 3000 people in 170 different schools, academies and workplaces about mental illness.

For this work I have been nominated for a Westfield Local hero award. This is for the work I do with MIEACT.

In my time at MIEACT I have spoken to over 170 groups about mental illness to increase awareness and reduce stigma.

If I get enough votes MIEACT will get $20,000!

From the outset, none of our diggers should feel shame that they need help with their mental health.

For those of us that have never been in the military. The idea that a soldier a sailor airman could have a mental illness is not something that we see as being that big a deal.

On the 18 August we will be commemorating 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War.

On that day I will be honoring the service of my father (ret. WO2 Kevin Brosnan '67-'98' 17 Contruction Workshop) and my maternal grandfather (dec. WO2 Cliff Curran 105 Feild Regiment HQ '66).

This is a time where perhaps we can right some of the wrongs committed against our servicemen and women and show those that are still with us the respect they deserve.

Today I interview my dad when he reflects on service and how we see our new crop of veterans.

I've stood over a hospital bed looking at my daughter - who'd attempted suicide - not knowing if she was going to live.

She did. But to this day the pain of that event will not go away. I think about it pretty much every day.

I can't even imagine what my life would be like if she had succeeded. I don't know that I would have been able to recover from that.

The message that I want to get to people contemplating suicide, is that it's Iso easy to be focused on yourself.

The truth is this... your death will never make anything better.

A student asked me today 'what is it like after a suicide attempt?'

It's a critical time for the survivor, but it's confusing and lonely. However hopefully it's a time of rebuilding and renewal.

I have no data to share on this time, only my own experience.

I share that today on STP.

A student asked me today 'what is it like after a suicide attempt?'

I share that today on STP.

Thousands of Veterans' have lived through the modern equivalent of The Vietnam War.

They served in war that was not popular, for obscure reasons, and that seemed destined to end in failure.

Our Veterans' need to be acknowledged and we as a nation need to understand the trauma and ongoing needs that these people have.

So, to honour my father, and maternal grandfather, who both served in Vietnam todays episode (August 18- Vietnam veterans' Day) is for our veterans'.

To help us do this, we welcome to STP, Mr Craig Ball - a seasoned professional speaker, consultant, and mental health mentor whose specialization in men's mental health and empowerment sets him apart. A veteran of the Australian Army with two tours of duty in Afghanistan under his belt, Craig's experiences have made him keenly aware of the mental health challenges many face, particularly under intense stress.

The topic today is the most uncomfortable conversation I can have at this time.

I'm going to share my journey through my daughter's suicide attempt to help someone else understand that there is hope on the other side

I am fortunate that my daughter survived her attempt. I can't even imagine what would have happened if she had have succeeded.

We're going to unpack that today on STP!
