    3: Being a Lived Experience Speaker with Hugh Flanagan

    Sweaty Pod is a podcast series about lived experience of mental ill-health and the mental health sector. Across several episodes, I will be interviewing psychologists, psychiatrists, and youth workers, as well as those who have suffered from mental ill-health. I met Hugh Flanagan in 2018 when we both volunteered with headspace Hawthorn's Youth Advisory Group. Since then, Hugh has gone onto join headspace's Youth National Reference Group, speak on multiple panels, pursue a university degree in psychology, and become a lived experience speaker with Batyr, an Australian not-for-profit that aims to normalise conversations about mental ill-health through storytelling. In this podcast interview we speak about: Hugh's childhood The onset of Hugh's mental health difficulties in adolescence Managing difficult thoughts and emotions: the "flag pole" and "passengers on the bus" analogies Finding a mental health specialist who is a good fit Normal experiences of sadness vs. clinical depression The upsides of having lived experience Being a lived experience speaker with Batyr Hugh's next chapter Helpful resources (see links below) Counselling supports: Lifeline (crisis counselling): 13 11 14 Beyond Blue (depression and anxiety): 1300 224 636 eheadspace (12-25 year olds): 1800 650 890 SANE Australia (complex mental health): 1800 187 263 Resources: Smiling Mind app: https://www.smilingmind.com.au/ All In The Mind podcast: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/allinthemind Batyr: https://www.batyr.com.au/
