<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2191914/open_sms">Send us a Text Message.</a></p><p>We're back!<br/><br/>Welcome to Season 2 of Enabled - the podcast where we talk about, normalise and celebrate disability and mental health. <br/><br/>We are very excited for you to hear this episode with Mel Harrison, from Sitting Low, Reaching High. <br/><br/>Mel is a disability advocate who was born with severe kyphosis, scoliosis and arachnoid cysts, and has been a wheelchair user from the age of 14. Despite this, she only received an official diagnosis for her disability last year in 2023 - 42 years after she was born! She's a rare one; less than one in one million people in the world have her particular disability. <br/><br/>Mel shares with us her passion for adventure and education, as well as why she doesn't like to describe herself as disabled. <br/><br/>Make sure you check this one out, and check out what Mel is up to on her social media!<br/><br/></p> <p>Transcripts available for each episode on the website: https://enabled.buzzsprout.com<br/><br/>Let us know what you think!<br/><br/>Get in touch with us through Facebook:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/EnabledPodcast/<br/><br/><br/>Or email us on:<br/>podcast@advocators.com.au<br/><br/>This episode is brought to you by Ability Advocators: <br/>https://www.advocators.com.au/<br/>(02)65 824 946</p>

#18 Talking about suicide and asking for help - Kelly Saidey and Di Lannister from Lifeline Mid North Coast
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2191914/open_sms">Send us a Text Message.</a></p><p>What would you do if you lost your child in a crowded, public place? Would you immediately make a scene and ask for help from the people around you? Or is your impulse to try to find them yourself, and avoid asking for help?<br/><br/>In this episode with Di Bannister (Lifeline Trainer extraordinaire) and Kelly Saidey (Suicide Prevention and Postvention Manager) we talk about why asking for help is so hard, including the lack of modeling to children of how to ask for help, as well as the subtle penalties that society imposes if we do ask for help. <br/><br/>We also talk suicide, which can feel like a scary thing to talk about. We discuss how to talk about suicide safely, and whether or not talking to people about suicide increases suicidal thoughts.<br/><br/>Learn more about the suicide support groups - the first in Australia - that are being run by Lifeline Mid Coast, and the benefits that participants are experiencing, including finding their tribe. </p> <p>Transcripts available for each episode on the website: https://enabled.buzzsprout.com<br/><br/>Let us know what you think!<br/><br/>Get in touch with us through Facebook:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/EnabledPodcast/<br/><br/><br/>Or email us on:<br/>podcast@advocators.com.au<br/><br/>This episode is brought to you by Ability Advocators: <br/>https://www.advocators.com.au/<br/>(02)65 824 946</p>

<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2191914/open_sms">Send us a Text Message.</a></p><p>Happy International Day of People with Disability!!<br/><br/>This year we are partnering with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council to celebrate the day, and to create this episode. <br/><br/>We interview young Port Mac local Nate Castelli, our youngest ever guest at 14 years old. Nate is non-verbal, and uses his "talker" - an assistive device that allows him to communicate through pushing buttons - to share his thoughts with us. <br/><br/>Nate and his Dad Hugh talk to us about what it's like to live with disability in Port Macquarie, what makes them proud, and Nate's favourite things to do. Stay tuned to hear Nate challenge Colin to a dance-off , as well as a sweet moment where Hugh tells us how being Nate's Dad has changed him for the better. <br/><br/>Special thanks to Port Macquarie-Hastings Council for bringing Nate and Hugh to us, and for being invested in celebrating disability in our local community!<br/><br/><br/><br/></p> <p>Transcripts available for each episode on the website: https://enabled.buzzsprout.com<br/><br/>Let us know what you think!<br/><br/>Get in touch with us through Facebook:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/EnabledPodcast/<br/><br/><br/>Or email us on:<br/>podcast@advocators.com.au<br/><br/>This episode is brought to you by Ability Advocators: <br/>https://www.advocators.com.au/<br/>(02)65 824 946</p>
