Matt Berriman Resigns from his position as Chair of Mental Health Australia

In recent news, the resignation of the Chair of Mental Health Australia, Matt Berriman, has brought to light glaring issues within Australia's mental health system.

What's more alarming is the revelation that the Prime Minister of the country has never held a meeting with him throughout his three-year tenure.

This raises serious questions about the government's commitment to addressing the mental health epidemic plaguing our nation.

Berriman's departure comes with a candid admission: despite the influx of funds into mental health initiatives, he felt stifled in his role.

He expressed frustration at not being able to voice what needed to be said.

Moreover, stating that Labour has not adequately supported mental health efforts.

But let's take a broader look at the Mental Health situation here in Australia….

We have veterans who have sacrificed for our country, yet struggle to access the help they desperately need.

We have individuals reaching out to helplines in crisis, only to find themselves turned away or left waiting for assistance that never comes.

Meanwhile, significant sums of money are poured into large organisations, yet the public continues to hear the same refrain: "We need to do better" and "More funding is going into research."

The disconnect between the allocation of resources and the tangible support received by those in need is staggering.

Why is it that the public feels compelled to pour donations into organisations already receiving substantial funding, while individuals struggling with mental health challenges are left without access to essential services?

It's time to demand accountability and transparency from our leaders.

It's time to ensure that every dollar allocated to mental health is spent effectively and reaches those who need it most.

It's time to prioritise action over rhetoric and prioritise the well-being of our citizens above all else.

Unveiling the Silence: Understanding the Stigma of Mental Health in Asian Countries

In many parts of the world, mental health has gradually emerged from the shadows of stigma, finding its place in public discourse and policy agendas. However, in several Asian countries, conversations around mental health remain conspicuously muted. This silence is not merely a cultural quirk but a deeply ingrained societal issue with far-reaching consequences.

Cultural Stigma and Shame

Asia is a mosaic of diverse cultures, each with its own set of values, norms, and traditions. Despite this diversity, many Asian societies share a common trait: a deeply entrenched stigma surrounding mental health issues. Mental illness is often perceived as a personal failure or weakness rather than a legitimate medical condition. Consequently, individuals and families often choose to suffer in silence rather than seek help.

Cultural Factors at Play

The reasons behind this stigma are multifaceted. Confucian values emphasizing harmony, collectivism, and saving face play a significant role. Mental health problems are often viewed as disruptive to familial and societal harmony, leading individuals to suppress their struggles to avoid bringing shame upon themselves and their families.

Moreover, the emphasis on self-reliance and perseverance in the face of adversity discourages seeking external support for mental health concerns. As a result, issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma are frequently internalized rather than addressed openly.

Lack of Awareness and Education

Another contributing factor is the lack of awareness and education surrounding mental health. Misconceptions and myths about mental illness abound, perpetuating fear and misunderstanding. In many Asian countries, discussions about mental health are conspicuously absent from school curricula and public health campaigns. Consequently, individuals may struggle to recognize symptoms or may dismiss them altogether, further perpetuating the cycle of stigma and silence.

Access to Mental Health Services

Compounding the issue is the limited availability and accessibility of mental health services in many Asian countries. Mental health resources are often concentrated in urban centers, leaving rural populations underserved. Additionally, the stigma surrounding mental illness discourages individuals from seeking professional help even when services are available.

The Toll of Silence

The repercussions of this silence are profound. Untreated mental health issues can lead to a myriad of negative outcomes, including impaired functioning, strained relationships, and even suicide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 60% of suicides worldwide occur in Asia, with suicide rates notably high among young people.

Furthermore, the economic burden of untreated mental illness is staggering. Lost productivity, increased healthcare costs, and the impact on caregivers exact a heavy toll on individuals, families, and society as a whole.

A Call to Action

Addressing the stigma of mental health in Asian countries requires a multifaceted approach. Efforts to raise awareness, educate the public, and promote culturally sensitive mental health services are essential. Initiatives that engage community leaders, religious institutions, and schools can help challenge entrenched beliefs and foster supportive environments for those struggling with mental health issues.

Moreover, integrating mental health into primary healthcare systems and expanding access to affordable services are critical steps toward breaking down barriers to care. By destigmatising mental illness and promoting a culture of acceptance and support, Asian countries can pave the way for brighter, healthier futures for all their citizens.

The silence surrounding mental health in Asian countries is a complex issue rooted in cultural stigma, lack of awareness, and limited access to services. However, by acknowledging these challenges and taking proactive steps to address them, Asian societies can begin to break the chains of stigma and usher in a new era of openness, understanding, and support for mental health issues.

This is something the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign is trying to take an active approach on in taking our conversations in to many of these countries that still don’t openly speak on Mental Health

The Importance of Year-Round Mental Health Conversations: Beyond Awareness Months

The holiday season often paints a picture of warmth, joy, and togetherness, but for many, it can also be a time of increased stress, loneliness, and emotional turbulence. While awareness months and designated days play a crucial role in initiating conversations around mental health, it's imperative to recognise that these discussions should not be confined to specific times of the year. The need for ongoing dialogue becomes even more critical during the holiday season.

Beyond Awareness Campaigns: A Year-Round Commitment

While mental health awareness months and days serve as valuable catalysts for starting conversations, they should not be seen as the sole periods to address these crucial issues. Mental health is a complex and ongoing journey that doesn't adhere to a calendar schedule. Waiting for designated awareness periods may inadvertently contribute to the stigmatisation of mental health discussions during the rest of the year.

The Holiday Struggle: A Silent Battle

The holiday season can be a challenging time for many individuals, bringing about heightened emotions, financial pressures, and increased social expectations. Conversations around mental health during this time are not only relevant but also necessary. It's essential to acknowledge that for some, the holidays magnify feelings of isolation, grief, and stress. Engaging in open conversations during this period can provide much-needed support.

The Danger of Seasonal Support: A Call for Consistency

Posting supportive messages on social media during awareness campaigns is commendable, but it's crucial to extend this support consistently throughout the year. Many individuals who struggle with mental health concerns find it disheartening when the focus shifts away after awareness periods end. The sporadic nature of these conversations can make them seem insincere and, at times, overwhelming for those in need.

A Reminder of Imperfection: Authenticity in Action

It's essential to acknowledge that nobody is perfect, and supporting mental health isn't about getting it right all the time. Authenticity in conversations, even during the holiday season, fosters genuine connections. Understanding that everyone faces challenges and that ongoing support is more valuable than sporadic gestures is key.

Breaking the Silence: Encouraging Open Dialogues

To truly make a difference, we must break the silence around mental health consistently. Engaging in open, honest, and empathetic conversations throughout the year creates an environment where individuals feel heard and supported. This approach not only helps in destigmatising mental health but also encourages those who are struggling to reach out for help.

Shifting the Narrative

As we navigate the holiday season, let's collectively commit to fostering year-round conversations about mental health. It's not about being perfect or having all the answers; it's about genuine, ongoing support. By extending our understanding and compassion consistently, we can create a world where mental health is a topic of conversation every day, not just on awareness months or days. Together, let's shift the narrative and build a community that uplifts and supports one another in every season.

Join our Global Volunteer Teams

You know, it's amazing how we often see people coming together to help those who are struggling, especially when it's the public, the community, that steps in to make a difference.

I was just reflecting on this recently in a conversation I had.

The Imperfectly Perfect Campaign movement has always been about people helping people, paying it forward, sharing our stories to help others.

I started wondering, what more can we do to give back and make a positive impact?

It's funny how the universe ( I say God ) seems to respond when you ask that question. As I was walking to the shops, I turned a corner and saw a man sitting on the ground with his dog, with little belongings, holding a sign that said "hungry and homeless."

It was not only a stark reminder of the challenges some people face daily but clearly I know when something is put in front of me.

So as the public, as a community, as a collective we have the power to make a difference.

What if the imperfectly perfect campaign could mobilize our global community, with dedicated team leaders creating an "Imperfectly Perfect Task Force" of volunteers?

Reach out to the public, those who are able and willing to donate spare towels, bedding, clothes, toiletries, food, or anything that might provide some comfort to those who find themselves on the streets.

Imagine the impact we could have if we all came together, each contributing what we can, to support those in need.

If you share our passion for helping others, we invite you to be a part of our volunteering team in your own country.

To join this movement and be a force for positive change, please reach out to our team today at generalenquiries@imperfectlyperfectcampaign.org in showing your interest.

In the next fortnight, we will be holding an online meeting regarding this mission.

Your compassion, your willingness to give, and your desire to make a difference can create a ripple effect of kindness that can change lives, so join us.

Are you ready to share YOUR story?

Sharing your story can be incredibly important and impactful for several reasons:

1. Inspiring and empowering others: By sharing your story, you provide a source of inspiration and motivation for others who may be going through similar experiences. Your journey, struggles, and triumphs can show them that it is possible to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Your story can give them the strength to keep going and not give up.

2. Creating a sense of connection: Sharing your story can create a deep sense of connection and empathy among people. When others hear about your challenges, they may realize that they are not alone in their struggles. This sense of connection can be comforting and reassuring, fostering a supportive community where people can come together, share their experiences, and provide support to one another.

3. Breaking stigmas and reducing isolation: Many individuals face societal stigmas and discrimination related to their experiences, such as mental health issues, addiction, or personal trauma. By openly sharing your story, you challenge those stigmas and help reduce the isolation that individuals may feel. When people realize that others have faced similar challenges and are still leading fulfilling lives, it can encourage them to seek help and support without fear of judgment.

4. Educating and raising awareness: Sharing your story can educate others about various issues, shedding light on topics that may be misunderstood or overlooked. It can raise awareness about social, cultural, or health-related issues, promoting understanding and empathy. Your story can also help dispel myths and misconceptions, contributing to a more informed and compassionate society.

5. Fostering personal growth and healing: Sharing your story can be a cathartic and healing experience for yourself. It allows you to reflect on your journey, process your emotions, and find meaning in your experiences. Through sharing, you may gain new insights, perspectives, and a deeper understanding of your own journey. Additionally, hearing positive feedback and knowing that your story has helped others can provide a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

Overall, sharing your story is a powerful way to create positive change in the lives of others, promote empathy and understanding, and contribute to personal growth and healing. It allows us to learn from one another, support each other, and collectively strive for a more compassionate and inclusive society.

Evan Carmichael gets behind the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign's Global Efforts.

‘Being Imperfectly Perfect is looking at yourself with kindness and recognising that the mistakes you made in the past, you did the best you could with what you had. We just are constantly living with regret of what we wish we should have done or feel or judged ourselves or should have done. And so it’s looking back with kinder eyes to say, you did the best with what you had, but now it’s ok. You are awesome and you can create something amazing and the fact that you’re imperfect is the greatest gift of all’. - Evan Carmichael

Gary Vaynerchuck called him the DJ who inspires people and Ed Mylett called him the modern day Napoleon Hill. At 19, he built then sold a biotech software company.

At 22, he was a venture capitalist raising $500k to $15M. He now runs a YouTube channel for entrepreneurs with over 3 million subscribers and 500 million views, wrote 4 books, and speaks globally.

He wants to solve the world’s biggest problem, people don’t #Believe in themselves enough.

Forbes named him one of the world’s top 40 social marketing talents and Inc. named him one of the 100 great leadership speakers and 25 social media keynote speakers you need to know.

So what a privilege and honour to get Evan Carmichael behind our global efforts of having those all too often hard conversations and sharing his story on an upcoming episode of our show.

Angelica Bridges gets behind the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign's Global Efforts.

‘There is no such thing as perfection. To me, it just means being yourself and not worrying about creating an image or having to prove anything to anyone that you are a certain way or anything. People I find will love you more for your honesty, for being who you are, not trying to be someone else because you’ll never align if you are trying to be someone else. The more authentic you are in this life, in this world the easier it is and like you said the more you let go of things, things then get easier and they start to flow and that’s about being Imperfect’ @angelicabridges

‘Imperfectly Perfect to me means being able to show up as yourself unapologetically. It also means just calling it out loud. Speaking it into the room. When you are feeling that you are not yourself or something is out of alignment. What happens and I learnt this in a very real way. When I got to the end of that medical journey that I had mentioned that I was telling you about earlier in the podcast, I decided for the first time in my life that I was going to take holiday for two weeks and do no work. The unintended benefit and the lesson I learnt from that is when I returned to work, I’ll never forget a comment from one woman on my team. She said, ‘I’m so glad you finally trusted us enough to leave us here in charge and to take a break’ and I though Oh My Goodness, in trying to show up as perfect and do it all, I had unintentionally set a very damaging expectation with my team, that they needed to be perfect to. I started showing up differently with that team. We got to break through results that would not have been possible because for me it was like, they know I’m not perfect and they know I need a break, because we are human.’

Karen is not only an incredible advocate with whom we are truly grateful for her getting behind the IPC & sharing her story, but an internationally-recognized thought leader whose TEDx appearance, keynotes, blogs and books reach hundreds of thousands of business leaders each year. She is the author of Working from Home: Making the New Normal Work for You, Listen UP! How to Tune Into Customers and Turn Down the Noise and also Success With Less.

A prolific blogger and sought-after media interview, she has been featured in Forbes and regularly contributes to Thrive Global and ZDNet.

As Vice President of Customer and Market Insights at Salesforce, she engages current and future customers around the world. She serves on the company’s Work from Home Taskforce, where she is helping the company’s 50,000+ worldwide employees to better adapt to a work-from-home environment.

Passionate about diversity and inclusion, she also serves on the company’s Racial Equality and Justice Taskforce.

‘Imperfectly Perfect means everyone is perfect the way they are. In a world of social media and appearance, we’re afraid to post a picture without a filter on. Be yourself. Be that imperfect person.
If you constantly put out this fake highlight reel of yourself, you are only going to attract people who don’t really care or don’t realise they don’t care, about you.
If you put your imperfect self out there, whatever size, shape, age, look, belief whatever it is you are into, put your true self out there. We are all unique, we’re all from different backgrounds, we’re all different builds, ages, sexual orientations, religions, beliefs. We’re all special.’ - @rickywhittle

The minute I just went, This is Bullshit, I am not perfect. Some days I’m a complete mess. For me, my social media is being authentic to who I am. There will be days when I just show up and I’ll go into my group and I’ll be like; I don’t feel good. I am this ball of energy, but I’m also like this little softie as well. Don’t be afraid, it’s not a weakness. When you acknowledge it, that’s the first step to change.
