We are delighted to welcome Dr Ozgur (Oz) Yalcin, Clinical Psychologist and Director of ANIMA Health Network, as our next presenter for the Mental Health Professional Network. Dr Yalcin is an Adjunct Research Fellow at Curtin University’s EnAble Institute and was recently named Australian Psychologist of the Year 2024 at the Allied Health Awards. His research has made significant contributions to the field, most notably his Phd developing YSQ-R, an internationally used questionnaire for assessing early maladaptive schemas in schema therapy.

This presentation provides a concise overview of Schema Therapy, an integrative approach for understanding and healing deeply ingrained, self-defeating life patterns. We'll explore core concepts, assessment tools, and fundamental treatment options.

By the end of this presentation, you will be able to:
* Define Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMSs) and understand their origins in early life.
* Recognise Schema Modes as the emotional states and coping styles that activate these schemas.
* Identify key assessment tools, such as the YSQ-R, used to map these life patterns.
* Explain fundamental treatment strategies aimed at healing schemas and promoting healthier coping mechanisms.

This is a chance to learn from a very knowledgable individual in the field. You don't want to miss this event!

Saturday, December 6th @ 9pm. Light refreshments provided. RSVP on the Connections WA event page.

Back to school- "under the hood of wellbeing'- Carole Ryff’s 6-Factor Model of Psychological Wellbeing.

What an incredibly meaningful way for the Mandurah Baptist College staff to start their term break—focusing on collective and personal wellbeing across the whole school with a focussed well-being day!

The College’s commitment to its staff was evident throughout the whole day, starting with wonderful community engagement: supporting local groups, a beach clean-up, and even dancing with local seniors! Followed by a well-deserved lunch, staff had the opportunity to choose from a variety of sessions, from painting and meditation to my talk: "Under the Hood of Wellbeing."

We dove deep into Carole Ryff’s 6-Factor Model of Psychological Wellbeing, using both my clinical experience and lived experience examples to explore the core components that truly drive a long and healthy life. It was inspiring to see so many educators engage in such a reflective and powerful session.

A huge congratulations to MBC for their proactive and holistic approach to workplace care. As Term 4 kicks off—the busiest time of the year—we at Connections WA wish all the amazing teachers and staff a brilliant and successful start to term four.

Side note from me: To those who attended: I hope those journal books got a good workout over the holiday! What's one small commitment to your own wellbeing you're taking into Term 4?

A huge thank you to Tucker Christou from Gambling Counselling for his insightful presentation, “Problem Gambling," at our most recent Mental Health Professional Network event!

Tucker Christou is an accredited gambling counsellor with GamCare. His workshop shed a light on the significant challenges of gambling harm, and critically, how it is impacting people today.

This presentation introduced a person-centred therapeutic approach informed by cognitive-behavioural strategies, trauma awareness, and motivational interviewing. It outlined practical tools for engagement, relapse prevention, and the development of meaningful alternatives to gambling behaviour.

Participants attending gained:
* A deeper understanding of gambling as an emotional regulation strategy
* Insight into the cycles of addiction and uncertainty about change
* Therapeutic frameworks that support recovery and self-agency
* Strategies for addressing co-occurring mental health challenges

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another important and engaging session!

She's attending presentations from renowned speakers like Donald Kalsched, Margo Leahy and Robert Tyminski, on topics ranging from Remembering the "Unremembered: Work with Early Trauma" to "Gender Fluidity in Contemporary Adolescence".

This experience will allow Andrea to deepen her understanding of core Jungian concepts, stay current with the latest research, and learn new, effective therapeutic techniques.

With the busy lives we live, it's easy to feel drained. It's crucial to take time out and prioritise the things that support our mental health. It's about intentionally filling your cup with what truly nourishes your soul.

Here are some powerful ways to do just that:

Nourishment: Cook a balanced meal, make your favourite comforting drink, hydrate well.

Reflection: Check in with yourself, write in a journal, express gratitude.

Connection: Call a friend or family to check in and connect, join a local group that aligns with your interests.

Creative expression: Drawing, painting, playing music, writing poetry.

Movement: A walk, gentle stretching, yoga, dancing or any movement that suits you.

Rest: A 15-20 minute power nap, read a book, listen to a podcast, rest WITHOUT guilt.

Time in nature: Do some gardening, observe nature - trees, the ocean, clouds, animals, walk barefoot on grass or sand to connect with the earth.
