The role of social identity in the MATES in Construction suicide prevention program. In this study we look at how social identity, mateship and live experience impact volunteering in the MATES program.

The MHLEPQ is calling for the elimination of seclusion and restraint in the Queensland mental health system. Seclusion and restraint is both a failure of care and limiting basic human rights of consumers.

We have just published a systematic review for the MATES in Construction program. It found the program effective in improving mental health and suicide prevention literacy, improving helping intentions and reducing stigma. Possible reduced suicide rates. https://t.co/YLwlNhLRZ4

I just left the District Court of NSW where @NSWAmbulance service has been criminally convicted of a charge under Sec 33 WHS Act in relation to the suicide of my Uncle, paramedic Tony Jenkins. It will be 5 years this Sunday since he died. Paramedics deserve better @SafeWork_NSW

@waterssarah56 Good time to tell @H_S_E it should introduce RIDDOR reporting requirements for work-related #suicide

@MikeCarlton01 My dream is to pay $1M in tax at the top marginal rate one year. I would feel I really contributed to society then.

@fairysatellite You are such a gift to the rest of us. Take your time to catch your breath, reconnect with what is important.

[Jorgen Gullestrup @GullestrupJ]

It is fundamentally right but it is something we have been talking about for 15 years and it requires the clinician to give up some power in the relationship and that is hard to come by in a risk focused system.

[Jorgen Gullestrup @GullestrupJ]

@Fabion1992 @9NewsAUS Perhaps the point was that it almost never happens in Australia?

[Jorgen Gullestrup @GullestrupJ]

@Fabion1992 @9NewsAUS Well if workers are treated really bad then there is even more reason for workers looking after each other. MATES is workers looking after each other - not really able to deal with the employers that is perhaps more of the Unions role?

[Jorgen Gullestrup @GullestrupJ]

@MHResearchUniSA Wow it will be fun!

[Sally Spencer-Thomas @sspencerthomas]

So excited to have @GullestrupJ here sharing his story and the journey to @MATESConstruct at the #Construction Working Minds Summit in Denver.

[Jorgen Gullestrup @GullestrupJ]

@fairysatellite @SuicidePrevAU And yet you truely nailed it! Great presentation!

[Jorgen Gullestrup @GullestrupJ]

I think in the helping professions generally - it's scary but true. #elevatetheconvo

In my experience some of the worst work places are in healthcare and mental healthcare, anyone else have this experience? #ElevateTheConvo #MentalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #WorkplaceSuicidePrevention #TherapistTwitter #MedTwitter #PsychTwitter #OpRussia #OpMentalHealth
