The Mic Drop Club

This podcast we have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Victoria CAMHS Service Manger to shed some clinical light on the things we need to do and to cut through the frenzied hysteria surrounding COVID-19. Many people have never gone through a period of quarantine or self-isolation; however, this is increasingly becoming a reality for millions of people around the world due to the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Self-Isolation presents a great risk to their mental health and wellbeing. Yet could it be an opportunity to reflect - Self Isolation a Gift or a Curse?

We discuss this and so much.

Follow the advice and links below and help keep yourself and others safe, good luck!

When to self-isolate

Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

• a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home.

Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you're staying at home.

How to avoid Spreading it

• wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds

Note:

• Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean

Health & Wellbeing Apps are fast becoming the de facto mode in which we receive and input health information. This demand fuelled by work pressures of being mobile with very little down time.  

In this exclusive interview that took place at the Royal College of Nurses Head Quarters, I had the chance to discuss with Michael Lawrence CEO and COO Jake Adams COO & Co Founder the ‘Wellspace’ App journey from concept to implementation, its target users and its unique enabling featuring to empower individuals to manager their health and wellbeing.  

The location could not have been better as 2020 is the Year of the Nurse and Midwife. 2020 is Florence Nightingale's bicentennial year, designated by World Health Organisation as the first ever global Year of the Nurse and Midwife. Nurses and midwives make up the largest numbers of the NHS workforce.

Wellspace is on a mission to reduce work-related stress, anxiety and wider health issues by using cutting edge, intelligent data to revolutionise health and wellbeing. The Wellspace B2B model works through a cleverly designed smartphone app, an online portal for usable health trends & insights, points & rewards for engagement, face to face behaviour change training, workshops and events over a 12-month subscription. Wellspace’s aim is to reduce absenteeism and presenteeism, increase movement and improve mental and physical health and wellbeing.

Thanks to Michael and Jake for sharing their insights and their brilliant App. Check it out!

Kobe Bryant's Awful Death Exposes Shocking Life lessons on Grief 

First, at foremost we would like to send our heartfelt condolences to the families of all the victims of the fateful helicopter crash. Stay Strong may your loved ones forever Rest in Paradise X

John Altobelli and his wife, Keri, were on board the helicopter with their daughter Alyssa, who played on the same club team as Gianna Bryant. Christina Mauser, 38, Ara Zobayan, 50

Sarah Chester, 45, and Payton Chester, 13 Mother and daughter Sarah and Payton Chester were among the nine victims of the helicopter crash. (More details to be added when the full report is released) 

Kobe Bryant, 41

Bryant was an NBA MVP had a 20-year career with the Lakers that began when he was 18.

He had a 19-year marriage with his wife, Vanessa, and was a father of four daughters, including 13-year-old Gianna, who died along with Bryant on Sunday morning.

By the end of his basketball career — all of it spent with the Lakers — Bryant was a five-time world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist with the U.S. team and 18-time All-Star. He ranks fourth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Over the weekend, he was surpassed for third place on that list by Lakers star LeBron James.

In this show, we discuss the process of grief and explore with real-life examples using The Kübler-Ross model, or the five stages of grief. Details available below.

The Kübler-Ross model, or the five stages of grief

•    Denial

Grief touches the hearts of all human beings and our discussions using examples from many cultures so that you can learn techniques to help you move forward from the loss of a loved one. From African Wailers to talking therapy there is something we all can take from this podcast.

Kobe’s death can be used as a beacon of hope to spark conversations that should be taking place in everyone homes, preparing for loss can sometimes not be planned so if you do have time have that discussion with your loved ones. 

Anyone that is currently going through grief there is solutions out there, even if denial seems like an option and detachment from reality appears to be the only feasible option – speak to someone that cares, counselling be it from a family member or professional is strongly advised.

Failing to process grief effectively can result in people expressing loss in various ways.

Anger people go through whilst grieving. A few of them is they can lash with acts of violence towards themselves, objects or others. they feel about the circumstance the appropriate way and being immune to anger. Children, in particular, should be equipped with the tools to help them manage grief, as unresolved mourning can result in poor health, economic, personal outcomes as adults.

We also discuss
