| 5/9/20 | Encore: Strengthening mental health outcomes for LGBTIQ+ Australians – BeyondBlue | Now seemed like a good time to revisit this great interview we did in June 2019 with Dr Grant Blashki, the Lead Clinical Advisor for BeyondBlue. We hope you are keeping well, and that you enjoy this encore podcast. Grant joins us for a chat about the myriad ways that BeyondBlue provides support to all Australians, and shares his views on the value GPs can add to our mental health, and we identify the options available for engaging with BeyondBlue. Grant also explains that BeyondBlue advocates strongly for the LGBTIQ+ community because improving LGBTIQ+ outcomes improves mental health outcomes. Is there a connection between anxiety and addiction? What does it mean to develop a mental health or suicide prevention strategy? What might a visit to your GP about mental health issues look like? How can you support a friend as they deal with their anxiety or depression? BeyondBlue provides dedicated resources for lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex, and bodily, gender and sexually diverse people. We recommend you explore them all. We learn about some powerful and effective online tools: BeyondNow App (for suicide safety planning), myCompass (online tool for managing depression and anxiety), and MindSpot Clinic (online assessment and treatment for anxiety and depression).

Later, Nadine (FARE Board Member). He’s then joined by FARE Board member, Associate Professor Nadine Ezard to discuss drug use factors that interest the research community at this time. Are people drinking more right now, or are they simply transferring their bar drinking to home? Does an extra glass a night matter? What are some of the steps we can take to address stress and anxiety without having a drink? How might this pandemic impact our drinking habits and consumption of other drugs of addiction?

In our first episode for 2020, we have a great chat with Jeremy and Daniel from Q Health, a free counselling and support service for people who would like to talk about the concerns or impacts of their alcohol and drug use in a confidential, non-judgmental and queer-affirmative space. It’s for LGBTIQA+ people, couples or families living in the Moreland, Brimbank, Darebin, Hume, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, Wyndham or Yarra areas. Why is it important to have counsellors who are from our community? How does this service complement other addiction support programs? Is it really free and unlimited?! And we hear from a listener about the joys of marching ‘Clean and Sober’ in the Midsumma parade.

| 7/23/19 | Changing Australia’s drinking culture – DrinkWise and The Smashed Project | This week we interview two organisations established by alcohol producers to change the way we drink … for the better. Simon Strahan, CEO of DrinkWise, joins us to share how DrinkWise is working to develop a safer and healthier culture around drinking in Australia. DrinkWise is an independent, not-for-profit organisation funded through voluntary industry contributions across the alcohol sector. How has Australia’s drinking culture changed over the past decade? Why are DrinkWise’s campaigns to improve the drinking habits of young people so effective? What messages resonate for different age groups as we learn to drink for quality, not quantity? Tim Watts joins us on the phone to discuss The Smashed Project, funded by Diageo (a British multinational alcoholic beverages company). This project uses educational theatre to break the culture of underage drinking and reduce alcohol related harm amongst young people around the world. Tim is the head of Gibber, a drama-based education group delivering the training in Australia. They have trained in 268 schools in Australia as part of the aim of The Smashed Project to reach 500,000 students worldwide. In the news, we hear about a new app to help realistically gauge our drinking habits. We share details of a report that the rates of drug-induced deaths are on the rise in Australia. And we look at medicinal cannabis. A study suggests it can be used to treat cannabis addiction. New clinics are opening up in Australia for people to access medicinal cannabis. And we remember Olivia Newton-John’s conversation with Charlie Pickering about its medicinal benefits.

| 7/18/19 | Addressing the specific challenges for lesbian women in recovery – Casey Lucarelli and R12 | In May, we interviewed Stu Fenton about the work he does at R12, a rehabilitation facility dedicated to LGBT+ clients. We now chat to Stu’s colleague – Casey Lucarelli – about the support she provides for lesbian women. We explore the struggles with addiction and shame that are specific to the lesbian community. What is the impact of internalised homophobia? In what areas are lesbian women most likely to develop addictions? How does R12 work with clients when in Thailand and then as alumni once they have returned home? In the news, we review an article that captures personal stories of those effected by gambling addiction. We look at the online advertising practices of opioid manufacturers, and a story describing one woman’s personal experience of opioid addiction driven by her GP relationships. And we review a further update coming out of the coronial inquest into music festival overdoses.

| 7/10/19 | Autocannibal – Exploring why do we do things that we know are bad for us | Mitch Jones is the creator and performer of Autocannibal. It is an experimental new work of solo physical theatre that explores ideas of resource depletion, environmental exhaustion and social decay through the metaphor of the performer’s body. Mitch shares with us the show’s creation story, which had its genesis in Mitch’s reckoning with the death of a friend due to addiction. We explore the challenges of working in an industry where drug and alcohol consumption is common. Mitch shares his experiences of sobriety (it makes him funnier). And we learn about the importance of focusing on what you’d rather be doing with your life. How does physical expression support emotional exploration? What are the parallels between consumerism, addiction, and environmental destruction? What might we expect from Mitch’s show? In the news, we review a shocking report of a death from caffeine toxicity. We reflect that the news stories about Joe Biden’s son have kick-started the conversations we need to have about addiction, and demonstrate that addiction can affect anyone from any background. And we look at Callum Brosnan’s story from the NSW coronial investigation into drug-related deaths at festivals.

| 7/2/19 | 10 years sober – Will’s journey, and his suggested tools to support recovery | Will Lanting, from The GLLO Show, joins us as guest and co-host to reflect on his 10 years of sobriety. Will shares his journey from drinking 12-18 cans a day to his first experience of rehab, the pain of withdrawal, and the ongoing struggle that is sobriety. Is 10 years of sobriety something to celebrate? How do you celebrate without alcohol? What are the tools that can help you stay sober? And why should you look for friends who are more like ambulance drivers and less like rock climbers? Will wants you to know that overcoming addiction is possible. In the news, we review community responses to the presence of safe-injecting rooms in Richmond, Victoria. We reflect that addiction can affect anyone, as demonstrated by Bomber Thompson’s confession that he is an ice addict. At a time of rising global opioid use, we note that June 26 is the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. And we ponder about the effectiveness of a new treatment for video game addiction, an addiction only recently classified as a disorder by the World Health Organisation.

In the news, we share some ABC news stories about the link between the colour of your alcohol and your hangover, the semi-synthetic drug Krokodil appearing in Australia and the AFL’s alleged gambling problem. And we shine a light on the example provided by Faye Lawrence, who founded her own non-drinking social group to support her sobriety.
