I actually have had, for a really long time, put my own mental health on hold, and push it to the back of my mind, which I think is not a, that's not a situation that only myself have found myself in. I think as health professionals, you know, we make the worst patients. And, basically, I started focusing in more on my mental health when my body told me I needed to. So for a really long time, I didn't feel like I had a safe space at work to talk about mental health. That was not with this organisation.
Olivia Shields:That's from years in my past. And when I was having a really hard time mentally at work and it showed, I was not met with kindness or support or safety. And I think that experience really really colored my own thoughts about myself, my own mental health, and also my ability to do my job. I really doubted myself and thought, you know, perhaps management is not for me because that was the feedback that I got. However, now that I'm with Monash Health, I have been given the grace and the kindness and the safety to express when I'm having a bad day or a bad week, and that's all through the support of the organisation.
Olivia Shields:So, you know, my own triggers, for example, are when I am not sleeping very well, that's when I know that I can, you know, speak to my boss. I can do a working from home day where I can actually ask for what I need.
