THE WAKE UP CALL

As Paul began his career as an Advanced Australian Care Paramedic, he was aware that the job would require him to provide a supportive and calming voice to people and their families during one of the most vulnerable and stressful moments in their lives... With an extensive background in trauma counselling, Paul was not only prepared, but also highly skilled to meet this challenge. What Paul was unprepared for was the extent that mental health played in the number of daily call outs for his crew... From the fact that 1 in 2 Australian's will suffer a mental health episode at least once in their lives, or as Paul puts its during his many speaking engagements, "if I'm not talking about you, I am most certainly talking about your partner, kids, friends or work colleagues."
