Here are six evidence-based strategies to help you maintain balance and protect your mental health at work:

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do” - Brené Brown 🧘‍♀️

Courage shows up in small, powerful ways - in honesty, vulnerability and self-compassion. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to own our story without judgement and accept our unique path and story 👩🏼‍⚕️💫

This National Carers Week (October 12–18), we pause to honour the quiet strength, compassion, and resilience of Australia’s carers. Whether you're currently a carer, know someone who is, or may one day step into that role, this year's theme — “You Are, Know, or Will Be One” — reminds us that caregiving touches all of us.

Carers are the backbone of our communities. They provide essential support to loved ones facing illness, disability, mental health challenges, or ageing — often without recognition, rest, or reward. Their work is deeply personal, emotionally demanding, and profoundly impactful.

This week, we celebrate their dedication and raise awareness of the challenges they face. We also encourage everyone to take small but meaningful actions to support carers in their lives:

✔️ Check in regularly
✔️ Offer help with errands or tasks
✔️ Acknowledge their efforts
✔️ Step in when support is needed
✔️ Encourage time for self-care

Let’s come together to show our appreciation and ensure carers feel seen, supported, and valued — not just this week, but every day.

💙 To all carers: thank you for your unwavering commitment. You make a difference.

“Thought-Challenging: A Practical Tool for Cognitive Restructuring”
Negative thinking patterns can significantly impact mood, self-esteem, and overall mental health. Cognitive restructuring techniques, such as thought-challenging, help individuals identify and reframe these patterns.
This process involves:
✅ Recording your thoughts – Capture automatic negative thoughts and associated emotions.
✅ Identifying thinking styles – Recognize patterns like labeling, catastrophizing, or black-and-white thinking.
✅ Finding evidence – Weigh facts for and against the negative thought, as if in a courtroom.
✅ Creating balanced thoughts – Develop a more realistic perspective based on evidence.
✅ Using structured tools – Thought diaries and worksheets guide this process for lasting change.
These strategies are widely used in CBT for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. By practicing thought-challenging, you can reduce emotional distress and build healthier thinking habits.
