R U OK? research has underscored the impact a genuine conversa on can have on someone who is struggling with life.

The research found more than four in five people who engaged in a meaningful conversa on felt be er about managing their situa on having talked it through and felt supported, heard, and safe during the conversa on.

However, the research also found that when asked if they were OK, two in five people (38%) who said they were OK actually were not OK. These respondents told us that important factors to encourage an honest conversa on are: Trust: they need to know the person they speak to is someone they trust, and, for many, someone they are close to.

Authen city: they want to know the person asking them genuinely wants to hear an answer.

Environment: people would prefer to have these conversa ons in a rela vely private space with enough me to share what they want to say.

Katherine Newton, R U OK? CEO said,“Posi ve experiences revolve around feeling heard, validated, and receiving empathy. By making the me and space for an R U OK? conversa on and listening with an open mind, we can help the people in our world feel supported and, if needed, encourage them to access professional support long before they are in crisis.”

Recent new data from Beyond Blue shows almost 1 in 3 people with a mental health condi on that impacts their life, are unlikely to reach out for support.

The results of Australia’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Check, a survey of more than 5,000 people commissioned by Beyond Blue and carried out by the Social Research Centre, reveals the main reasons why people don’t reach out. The research found: 30% of people living with a mental health condi on were unlikely to seek support from anyone; 39% of people delay seeking support due to costs; 30% delay seeking support due to waitlists; 27% think they’ll get be er without support and 24% think their problem isn’t serious enough.

Beyond Blue CEO Georgie Harman says the data is concerning, given the deep impact of poor mental health and suicide on people, families and communi es.

“People need to know accessing support early, before they reach crisis point, can help alleviate stress, worry and isola on, and prevent depression and anxiety from ge ng worse. My message is don’t wait, don’t hesitate” Ms Harman said.

Nearly 80% of people who contacted Beyond Blue’s Support Service reported an immediate reduc on in distress, and ongoing feelings of reduced distress two weeks later.

Let the people in your world know you’re here, to really hear, because a conversa on could change a life.

You can find FREE resources at ruok.org.au to help you know when and how to ask, ‘Are you OK?’ For support at any me of day or night, Lifeline provides free and confiden al crisis support.

Dear Editor, And Hello to all Tarnagulla Golf Club Members, Supporters, Friends and Families, We had a fun me at the Tarnagulla Vintage Fair last Sunday. There were lots of really good stalls and ac vi es as well as vintage cars and caravans all about.

Victoria Park Oval had been beau fully mown and the Tarnagulla & District Golf Club encouraged children and adults to try their hand at hi ng prac ce golf balls (plas c and foam) in the free "Hole in One". Everyone was rewarded with lollies, chocolates or popcorn and den sts all over would have loved that! Ha! We couldn't get over how children are just so natural in their enthusiasm to whack that li le ball! Good on them all.

Well done to all who arranged the day and the events. It was such a success. I'm sure everyone (and more) will be back next year.

Well, there were 5 very commi ed gardeners that turned up on a very wet Thursday!

We actually managed to achieve quite a bit before the rain set in.

Ric took charge of turning the compost and Lisa harvested some of it to ‘top dress’ our fruit trees.

Anna managed to get through quite a bit of whipper snipping, while Mick weeded the raised beds.

I decided to venture to the far side of the garden and discovered we'd actually missed pruning a few fruit trees!

S lI managed to get the Nashi somewhat under control, but more work will be needed - It was a mess - branches crossing over everywhere. Finishing this job is definitely on the ‘to do’ list!

Over the last few months Lisa has been busy trying to secure a grant for us.

Hopefully soon, I will be able to share more informa on about this and our plans.

As part of this we have also arranged to install some citrus trees at the Dunolly Neighbourhood House.

This season, our lemon tree produced its largest crop and the Share Table has also received generous dona ons of lemons and limes from gardeners.

Lemons like well-drained soil, as opposed to the heavy clay soils that Dunolly and the Goldfields region specialises in, and citrus don’t appreciate frosts either.

Anna very focused and expertly wielding the whipper snipper!

The lemon variety which is the most frost resistant is Meyer, that produces an annual crop over two months or so of the year. This is the variety we have planted at the community garden, up against a bessa-block wall which retains heat.

Eureka is another lemon variety and although requiring be er protec on from frosts, produces over 10 months of the year.

One thing to watch with citrus fruit is they can harbor fruit fly who over winter in the crop, so it is worthwhile checking your fruits.

Fruit fly traps are available from the community garden if you would like one.

We meet Thursdays 3.30pm, 94 Maude Street Dunolly.

Come join us!

NewÊHeartÊHealthÊPilotÊÊ-ÊAÊLifesaver A Heart Founda on pilot program that recalls at-risk Australians via a text message from their GP clinic, is seen as a poten al lifesaver.

The Heart Health Check (HHC) Recall pilot study was rolled out in more than 200 GP clinics across the country, where about 42,000 at-risk Australian pa ents received an invita on from their GP to come in for a HHC via SMS, which led to a 14-fold increase in HHCs compared to control prac ces.

Heart Founda on Healthcare Programs Manager Natalie Raffoul said “This is the most robust Australian evidence we have that shows a targeted Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) screening program could be both effec ve and feasible in general prac ce.

“Just like Australia has dedicated screening programs for many cancers, we need to consider one for Australia’s leading cause of death, heart disease.”

New South Wales GP, Dr Raya Grishina-Gunn said the pilot program allowed her to treat pa ents at high risk of having a heart a ack or CVD event, unbeknown to them.

One of those pa ents was grandmother of two, Katrina Wilkes who responded to an SMS invi ng her to Dr Raya’s clinic for a HHC, as part of the HHC Recall pilot program.

The proac ve 59-year-old has spent her adult life commi ed to keeping her heart healthy, a er she lost her dad to a massive heart a ack when he was 47.

“I have always been physically ac ve, followed a healthy diet, looked a er myself and felt well.

If I had not received that SMS invi ng me in for a Heart Health Check, the situa on could be very different today.” Katrina said.

A er comple ng the 20-minute Medicare-subsidised HHC as part of the pilot program, Katrina was shocked to find that she had high cholesterol and high blood pressure; and both needed to be treated with medica on.

Katrina believes programs like the HHC Recall pilot can change lives. Being at high risk of heart disease can be almost completely symptom-less un l it’s too late.

Quite o en, the first sign of heart disease is a heart a ack.

HEART HEALTH CHECK

The Medicare-subsidised Heart Health Check is a 20-minute check-up for people aged 45 years or over, or 30 and over if First Na ons.

Almost half a million Australians have seen their GP for a HHC since the item was introduced in 2019.

During the check-up, a GP checks their pa ent’s blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and asks

key ques ons about nutri on, exercise, medical and family history.

All of these factors allow the GP to use a validated risk predic on equa on to accurately assess their pa ent’s risk of having a heart a ack or stroke in the next five years.

Using the Heart Founda onsupplied Heart Health Check toolkit, the GP can then develop a preventa ve ac on plan to help that person take the necessary ac on to reduce their risk of a heart a ack or stroke.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in Australia, responsible for over 18,000 deaths.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart a acks, ischaemic strokes and peripheral vascular disease, is largely preventable, with modifiable risk factors accoun ng for up to 90 per cent of the risk of a heart a ack.

Find out your risk of heart a ack or stroke by using the Heart Age Calculator. To find out about the Heart Founda on’s research program or to make a dona on, visit www.hear ounda on.org.au

B

een a bit breezy and cool this last week.

Went and bought one of those planet-saving reusable coffee cups a couple of weeks ago.

I had no trouble using it for my favourite brew at one of the bakeries in Maryborough last week.

However, when I tried to do the same, later in the week at a different place, I was told that I couldn't.

The health inspector had told them they could not, for hygiene reasons---"You don't know where they have been".

Is this true or is a new inspector flexing his muscles?

I went back to the first place and they said they knew nothing about it.

When I did my seat belt up lately, I had one of those random thoughts - how do people do their belts up ?...

I bend my right arm up and pull the belt over and do it up with my le hand. Others reach over with their le hand and pull the belt down across their body.

How do you fasten yours?

While having a snack on the back verandah, I no ced a magpie ge ng very interested in me.

It hopped up on the table and sidled up doing that ‘throaty talk’ that Maggie's do.

Then I realised it was not interested in me but my snack.

Saw a cream and pastry lover’s dream in a bakery in Marong … a bee s ng cake about the size of a bakery sponge and oozing cream.

Could not taste as Ýum’ as our local ones but it was a sight to behold.

Forget about Easter eggs adver sed on the day a er New Year. A furniture shop is adver sing a Christmas sale!
