The Rural Psychologist
In this podcast, long-time rural-based psychologist, Chantal Corish discovers what rural Aussies have that makes us happier than the rest, and how we manage to keep our spirits up when the chips are down.
Living and working in rural, regional and remote Australia can have all sorts of impacts on people's mental health and well-being, but lots of us have developed great ways to manage our mental health even when things get really tough.
Listen here to The Rural Psychologist podcast as Chantal chats with every day rural Aussies and mental health professionals to discover the best tools and techniques for living a productive and satisfying life; and as she draws on nearly two decades of psychology experience to offer advice for good mental health and well-being for those living and working in 'the bush'.
