The key to healthy workforces into the 21st Century - Money, relationships, work and our own wants and needs are placing unprecedented demands on our wellbeing and taking its toll. With 33 million prescriptions for mind-altering medications handed out last year and one in three of us breaking down in some capacity, Paul frequently comes face to face with the end result.
Time to tell it how it is
Ask somebody how they are feeling and you may well get, 'I'm stressed, fatigued or depressed,' but ask them 'why' and you will get all the external factors: kids, workplace, relationships. It's only when we go inside and understand the real 'why' that our world can be managed and changed.
Man sacrifices his health in pursuit of wealth and then sacrifices wealth to recuperate his health
73% of us worry about money more than anything else and it's crippling our mental health and taking its toll on our physical health. Far too often paramedics see the 45-year-old clutching at his chest from stress induced by finances.
Creating desire for change will be the determining factor of healthy workforces into the 21st Century
82% of us will have a chronic illness by age 65; 68% of us will be dead broke! If that isn't a wakeup call to take our lives off remote control, then what is?
More focus on our biological and psychological state will better serve our destiny
The car got its regular service yet we slept poorly, had no breakfast and have no idea what our resting heart rate or blood pressure is. This presentation combines all things money with all things wellbeing and hits the 'hot buttons' including, mental health, drugs, cardiac disease and even death. It is confronting, it is personal, it is a Paramedic's perspective on what is killing a nation and an opinion on how to stop the rot!
