Unspoken Conversations

"Unspoken Conversations are the topics that are often swept under the carpet, whispered amongst the closest of friends and bitched about by many. I want to create awareness about difficult things that people face in life; grief, mental health, money, illnesses, family troubles, relationship difficulties and putting yourself first. I want to tell the truth about things that really matter."

Unspoken Conversations is a collection of personal stories shared by Kirsty Traeger, the light behind Mentally Fit EP. Kirsty's blog continues to assist others - you didn't need to know Kirsty to learn from her teachings.

Behind the Mind

Behind the Mind was the brain child of Cummins locals, Olivia Dickinson and Amelia Dahlitz – two girls, with a passion for creating a happy, courageous, and resilient community. They saw an urgent need for more education and awareness on mental wellness. Behind the Mind is an informal platform to read, write and learn about mental wellness. They aim to bring you evidence based education, personal stories from real people, and the perspectives of our local professionals.

Climbing to Contentment

Sally is a passionate and energetic wife and mother to three children living in outback South Australia (Eyre Peninsula) on a farm. Well, Sally says "that is how I would have described myself if I could ignore the elephant in the room… Depression. So follow me as I try and overcome the black dog that has plagued me as Post Natal Depression. Now with my youngest getting older I would call it Depression and Anxiety. Surely if we talk about Mental Health it will reduce the stigma and also allow more to be understood and more of us to speak out and support each other and our family and friends who support us."

Hey Sigmund

Because sometimes the only diagnosis is ‘human’.

Every day there are stunning new insights into the human mind and the way we work, love, play, behave, relate, think and feel. We are learning more and more about what it means to be human, and how to master the art. Now more than ever, anybody who is any version of human has something to gain from the science of psychology.

This website contains the latest research and news in psychology. It attempts to bring psychology into the mainstream, unfolding the brilliance that happens within the scientific realm. We will explain what it all means and why it matters.
