2015 Psychology Week Survey Report

As part of its commitment to promoting community mental health awareness and psychological well-being, the APS commissioned a stress and well-being survey of Australians. This survey provided the opportunity to examine five years of data to gain a half-decade snapshot revealing the state of Australians’ mental health and well-being as well as insights into the social media phenomenon.

As a special focus in 2015, Australians were asked additional questions about their use of social media and experience of FOMO (Fear of missing out).

A carer is someone who cares for a person who is unable to take care of themselves fully or partially. A carer can be a paid position, but often it is loved ones who take on the role of caring for the person who is not independent.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis, or trance, is a naturally occurring state that we all go in and out of frequently. It is a state of deep relaxation, narrowed focus, heightened suggestibility and a process of active imagination.
