Who’s done one of the push up challenges supporting mental health lately?

We think they’re fantastic... so keep it up! But since our focus is more about checking in on your mates let’s change it up a bit...

Five for Five Challenge!!

How does it work?

We are going to start this off by tagging five mates... those five mates have 5 days to call five mates and ask “how are you going”? Once they have completed their challenge, share this post and tag those 5 mates to carry it on...and on....and on!

Let’s go!

Beanies are in stock!!! We have all sizes of Hoodies. Order through the website www.apff.org.au, we can send them out in the stores run for you. Other options are to call in to the Fund Office and see Fiona or we can post out to you.

Merino Beanie( great for under bike helmets)$30
We have other stock available on the website

👋 Hey! How are you?

Scrolling Facebook?

Got some time on your hands?

How bout scrolling though your contacts and calling a mate you’ve lost touch with of late?

It’s always nice to hear from a friend!

Today is National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day.

In most instances following potentially traumatic events, people are naturally resilient and utilise their own adaptive coping strategies such as connecting with people close to them. Sometimes however, something about the event may prevent this natural healing from occurring and what can initially be normal symptoms may become persistent and debilitating. This may be a psychological injury like PTSD.

PTSD does not need to be a life sentence and accessing the right treatment early may help prevent you from experiencing PTSD in the first instance or may result in complete recovery in which you may be stronger than before.

Hey, it’s Men’s Health Week!
Obviously men should look after their health every week but this week could be a great starting point to plan some changes in your life!
This could be physically, mentally or financially.
A time to get out for a walk, go see your GP, catch up with some mates, check in with your partner and get some sleep!
There’s no shame in struggling and getting help, being vulnerable and doing something for you!
Take the first step....
