Back on Dry Land – Ep#1: Starting a conversation
Welcome to our Back On Dry Land podcast series that looks at the mental health pressures impacting the commercial fishing industry and others in our regional communities.
We named the series ‘Dry Land’ as it’s a safe and stable place to stand after you have had a rough time at sea.
In our first episode we catch up with the team from Stay Afloat to introduce mental health as a topic and talk about how everyone is impacted by it at different times, and in different circumstances.
We also discuss the special challenges faced by fishers and regional communities before looking at different ways to open a conversation with a friend or colleague.
We have a number of other episodes being rolled out over coming weeks that look at a range of mental health topics, along with some simple ways to engage or support yourself and those around you.
We also take a look at business stresses and how to manage those, so check them out each week here.
