MENTAL HEALTH MONTH

October 2011

www.mentalhealth.asn.au

Good mental health is an important issue for our members, with their job presenting them with stressful, emotional and demanding situations throughout their career. It is also a growing issue for the community more broadly and this is why for the month of October organisations, including the FBEU, across Australia will be working together to raise awareness about good mental health.

On the following pages members can find lots of information about mental health, mental illness and the vast network of support that is out there.

Former President of the Fire Brigade Employees’ Union (2009-2018) and a professional firefighter with more than 30 years experience. I live and work on the NSW South Coast, Australia. I am a strong advocate for firefighters and emergency service workers with an interest in mental health issues and caring for those around me. I am a former Director on the NSW Fire Brigades Death and Disability Super Fund and work with charities including ‘The Movember Foundation’. As a leader and activist I have long been active in the campaign for action on climate change. I am a Station Commander in the fire and rescue service in NSW and have 30 years experience fighting fires, both rural and urban. I am passionate about highlighting the impact climate change is having on fire preparedness and fire behaviour in Australia, and the risks associated with inaction on climate change. I am also a spokesperson for the Australian Climate Media Centre.
