Connecting communities with telepsychology
Australia is a vast country, with many living in rural, regional and remote (RRR) areas and lacking access to mental health support services. Source Health is a multi-disciplinary mental health service that offers support to individuals, communities and corporate bodies via telepsychology with local medical and allied health service providers. With a special interest in RRR and Indigenous mental health, their goal is to reach out to the immediate communities and individuals who may have difficulty travelling to a service provider due to geographical distance, isolated jobs, poor time availability or incapacity. Mental health support is available anytime, anywhere through this innovative online platform. https://www.facebook.com/mysourcehealth/

The power of emotions
"Do you ever look at someone and wonder what's going on inside his or her head?" Inside Out is a must see film if you're interested in how emotions drive us. It's clever to identify the 5 key emotions we all have- joy, sadness, disgust, fear and anger and show how they drive us. Interesting as well that the only positive emotion in this group is Joy and, when she goes missing she is very much missed!

A Micro-Gallery - F Tanner Baker - Rozelle Sydney
?I have lived in this old bakery for forty years on Sydney's Balmain Peninsula and have wanted to honour its history and contribute to the local community by enlivening the street. The shopfront includes generous windows that lend themselves to a micro-gallery size exhibition space. I have established a non-commercial window gallery that exhibits works that stimulate reflection and, I hope, discussion? Helen Wyatt Gallery Owner, designer & curator. This year, F Tanner Baker has exhibited works by diverse artists, many of whom make pieces that can be worn. Exhibitions are up for approximately one month and are changed regularly.?https://www.instagram.com/ftannerbaker/?hl=en

A drug to halt mental decline
The first drug to combat Alzheimer's disease as a result of ageing is on the horizon after scientists proved they can halt mental decline by clearing the sticky plaques from the brain that cause dementia. Patients treated with the highest dose of the antibody drug aducanumab experienced an almost complete clearance of the amyloid plaques that prevent brain cells communicating and lead to irreversible memory loss. If shown to be effective in larger trials, the first drug to prevent dementia could be available in a few years. http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-tech/alzheimers-breakthrough-drug-that-halts-mental-decline-hailed-as-be
