C3 Collaborating for Health | Nursing Minds: Mental health toolkit for nurses

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Nursing Minds toolkit is a free online tool designed by nurses for nurses through support from the Burdett Trust for Nursing.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An evidence-based approach to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children in the classroom, school and home environments. Choose the implementation option to suit your school.

For a limited time, Australian primary schools can apply for a funded place and receive the Primary School Program at no direct cost to the school.

Smiling Mind is Australia's leading digital-led, prevention focussed mental health not-for-profit. Smiling Mind has been helping minds thrive for over 10 years and are the innovators behind Australia's most trusted mental wellbeing app. Our evidence-based tools support people to learn the skills to maintain their mental health in fun and interactive ways.

If you'd like to support our work, you can make a donation. Every contribution, however large or small makes a difference and we're so grateful for your support.

The Australian Mental Wellbeing Index provides a snapshot insight into the everyday mental wellbeing of Australia. It explores the factors that contribute to mental wellbeing and aims to generate a national conversation about how Australians can take a proactive approach to support mental wellbeing.

We've recently released the second annual report exploring the data collected across 2022-2023. The latest report shows young Australians aged 18-24, are experiencing poorer mental wellbeing than older age groups and poorer levels of focus and concentration may be a key driver of this.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We are often asked for support with the following issues:

● Worry and over-thinking about the situation and its consequences
● Poor concentration on other things and easily distracted
● Feelings of anxiety
● Feelings of panic/ panic attacks
● Irritability and feelings of emotional/ physical exhaustion

● Restlessness and fidgeting
● Sleep disturbances/nightmares
● Poor daily functioning and difficulty carrying out routine tasks
● Avoidance of usual tasks and routines
● Feelings of helplessness and loss of control or incompetence
● Fatigue and muscle ache

Do you share any of these?

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, please ask for some support.

"The amount of fear I was feeling has been hard to endure. Thank you so much for the work you are doing and for putting me in touch with a therapist. I feel very supported and your actions are helping me to get back in the game and back into an ambulance." Jim F, London Ambulance Service

How to register

The form is confidential and simple to fill in. We will not share any of your answers with your place of work. Once we get some information from you, we can match you with an experienced therapist.

Once we receive your request we will match you with a fully qualified professional and pass them your details.

They will contact you by your preferred method. ( Eg WhatsApp, Email, Phone call or Zoom) We would appreciate it if you could reply to them promptly to enable them to assist you sooner.

You will be able to communicate with them about how and when sessions take place.

Do I have to have weekly sessions?

No. You can have as few or as many sessions as you wish. All our therapists agree to provide up to 12 sessions, but you may choose to have just one or two. You are in control - simply discuss with your assigned practitioner.

Can I change practitioner if I want?

We hope that you won't feel the need to, but yes you can. Just let us know if things aren't working out, and we can assign someone else to your case. It's no problem.

Please email referrals@frontline19.com who will assist with your request.

I'm busy now but can I book sessions for the future?

We'll be here. Just come back to the site when you are ready, and we'll get you matched up.

Emergency mental health help

Oxfordshire Mind is not an emergency service. If you, or someone close to you, requires emergency help then please take a look at our crisis help page.

Oxford Safe Haven

If you have a mental health crisis during the weekend, it can be hard to know where to turn. That's why we worked with the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, Elmore Community Services, and The Oxfordshire Mental Health Partnership, to make sure that you can access support at the weekend, with Oxford Safe Haven.

Oxford Safe Haven is located at the Manzil Resource Building in Oxford, and is open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday from 6pm until 10pm - if you need support please call ahead using the referral line (open from 5pm, last entry 9pm).

Phone: 01865 903 037
Email: oxonsafehaven@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk

Oxfordshire Mind options sessions

If you need access to our support and services at Oxfordshire Mind, the first step is to set up an options session with one of our Wellbeing Service workers. Option sessions help us understand your mental health and wellbeing, and find you the right kind of support. They're free, confidential, last around 25 minutes, and can take place by phone or in person. To set up an options session please complete the online form or contact the Oxfordshire Mind Information Service:

Helping me with depression

"Whenever I'm emotionally charged, the phrasing and guidance of the questions really helps to calm me down. And while sometimes my depression just manifests as emptiness, its more often anger. So this is good for getting me into the habit of not using the flight/fight response."
