Hear from Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Mental Health, Dr Ruth Vine about what is considered normal sleep and things you can do to help improve your sleep and mental health.
Hello, my name is Dr Ruth Vine, and I'm the Deputy Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health for Mental Health. And today I'm gonna talk about the connection between mental health and sleep.
Of course, first, I'd like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we meet. Today, it's the Ngunnawal people, and pay my respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging, and of course, extend that respect to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person or people joining us here today.
For this week's shout out, I'd like to acknowledge those terrific people who volunteerfor organisations like Lifeline or Beyond Blue, and work on their crisis lines.
