Media, emergencies and mental health

Overconsumption of media information can create a strain on us. This can compound during emergencies and other unexpected events because of the 24-hour news cycle. We now have more access to news than ever before, even in the palm of our hand.  This episode outlines the strategies we can take to get the information we need, remain connected with our community and safeguard ourselves on the path to recovery.  Credits: Host: Sophie Gunther-Vale Guests: Therese Fitzgerald, Anne Leadbeater and David Younger Road to Resilience acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Wurundjeri people and Boon Wurrung language of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation.
