So @MrBeast spends a shit tonne of $ granting wishes for 100 kids with cancer to put smiles on their faces, then donates US$6 million+ to cancer research only for some moronic people tee off on him for not doing more or only doing it for clicks...peak imbelicic behaviour!

Stoked that we (@code9ptsd) have released another book. My Mum, My Hero tells the story of a mum first responder who was mentally injured at work. Written for the 3-8 age bracket, it is a brilliant educational tool for kids to learn about mental health.

The semicolon doesn't exactly say merry Christmas, but before I get on to what the message is to it, I want to wish you a very safe and merry Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful day, you eat well and spread some cheer. The message of the semicolon is this.

The semicolon is representing to those that are hurting, that you are taking a pause but your story is not over, it is not a full stop. You need to do what you need to do to get through the next few days, your story is not over. Not by a long shot.

Imagine being the type of person who is present at a mass shooting, gets the phone out, takes footage of deceased people and those being worked on only to upload it to social media. Proper vile scum act.

Had the distinct pleasure to have a chat to the crew from Collingwood Police Station today at their training day. Was slightly anxious about it as my triggering incident occurred a few hundred meters up the road during my time working at this station, some 22 years earlier.

Talk went well, anxiety well under control & an engaged audience. Much respect to the current crop of members of this awesome station. The other note to this is my management. Pure leaders. They allow me to travel around Melbourne & deliver chats to our colleagues without fuss.

Knowing im going to be away from office, not doing my core duties, but encourage it anyway because they know it helps our colleagues understand mental injuries. That is leadership, pure leadership, Im grateful to be supported like I am. #BeWell #PTSD #depression #anxiety

Replying to @jk_rowling
@jk_rowling I have no issue with you protecting women's spaces and rights, I actually admire how strong you are in your convictions about this subject, however the video that you have just shared is unacceptable.

Kids will see that video and many will have nightmares about it, people who do not have coping skills will see that video. You should have put a warning up or even better, describe it in words then people have a choice to read or not read or best of all, delete it.

You do not get to choose what people see and don't see. That is a persons own decision, not yours.

After I attended my triggering incident, I missed the symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety. I was uneducated. Do yourself a favor and have a working knowledge of what poor mental health presents as and what it looks like. Australian mental health resources, a 🧵
