January 2020.
I had just finished internship and had recently been accepted onto the Basic Physician Training program after months of hard work preparing my application and interview. I felt on top of the world. Having spent 3 weeks on the family trip of a lifetime, I was fully rested with a palpable excitement to come back to Perth and start my specialty training.
Being a medical student has been a journey both academically as well as personally in mental health. Generalised anxiety is something that has been with me since a young age and it will likely continue by my side lifelong.
Bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment is unfortunately commonly experienced by medical students, but it is never acceptable.
WAMSS and the Medical School collaborated to produce a resource for students about bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment.
This is aimed at a general population and is not tailored to those who have a specific diagnosis of e.g. depression, anxiety, or even non-mental health related conditions.
WAMSS has been running a number of events throughout this time to facilitate ongoing social connectedness while we have all been online.
Welcome to the COVID-19 edition of WAMSS’ I need help! page. The content here is based on the results of the COVID-19/Mental Health Survey.
We went to collect all the different COVID-19 resources we had seen floating around the internet, and found Life in Mind Australia had already done it for us!
It’s a very comprehensive list. It includes general info about COVID, mental health information sheets, in a time of COVID, online help services, specific help services: eating disorders, rural health, LGBTI, children’s mental health, and much more!
