Food For Thought - the Podcast
The Healthiest Podcast on the Internet! We talk about all things Health Promotion, particularly as they relate to the CAF - in essence giving you a little "Food For Thought" on topics that range from stress, sleep, the impact of the built environment, how to be an HP Ambassador (even if that seems hard and somewhat terrifiying), we'll talk about inclusion and othering and why the latter needs to be avoided. We have conversations with different health and helping professionals and we even have some military members drop in with their insights. So if you are ready to get healthy(er) then pick an episode (short or long) and let's get started!
Food For Thought - the Podcast
Do You Know When to Fold 'Em? Mental Health and You.
How do you define mental health? Mental Fitness? Resilience? Do you know when to fold 'em and when to run - and I'm not talking about if you've got nothing but a pair here? Mental Health is more than a buzz word, but are we really getting the message and doing what we need to do to be there, offer help, know where to go for help or perhaps hardest of all, ask for help. Join me and my guest, Skylin Herba from CAF Mental Health Services as we dive into this topic and talk about practical ways that we can double check that we are doing right by our mental health.
