Challenging Loneliness: 4-week group program
|
|
Are you feeling lonely or isolated from others? Loneliness refers to the feelings of sadness and distress we carry when we have less social connection than we desire. This is a common experience for many students. If this is impacting you, this group may be for you.
This four-week group program is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and will focus on:
• The concept of loneliness and its impacts on wellbeing
• New ways to manage stress and feel better about yourself during this difficult period of your life
• Building psychological flexibility and emotional regulation skills
• Challenging less helpful ways of thinking
• Mindfulness skills and self-compassion to enhance coping and build resilience
In
order to maximise your experience, it’s important that you commit to all sessions.

Saving women’s lives in Cambodia with the very best in maternal care
|
|
It was while volunteering on a floating medical clinic in Cambodia that Kate Taylor made the decision to study Bachelor of Midwifery at UniSA. Not long before, Kate had gone through a traumatic experience while giving birth to her eldest son. With medical intervention Kate survived, but only because of where she was located. What about the millions of women in other parts of the world who were not so lucky?
“I
knew I wanted to volunteer overseas. With my youngest then just 12 months old, I put myself forward to volunteer at a charity providing health care in Cambodia on floating clinics.” A few months later Kate was in Cambodia, volunteering on the floating clinic. "Talking to pregnant women about the importance of hydration, nutrition and getting help when the time came to give birth. I could see on their faces, that access to these things was not as simple as it sounded. One woman broke down in tears, explaining that her mother had died in childbirth having her, and she was petrified of the same thing happening to her. Seeing how frightened she was made me more determined. It was that moment I decided to go back to get a qualification, so I could really help these women."
Back
in Adelaide, Kate enrolled in the Bachelor of Midwifery at UniSA. Following Kate’s graduation, a classmate and senior lecturer joined her on her first trip back. Little did Kate know that this crucial time spent on the ground with her friends and former teacher would become the seeds of The 2H Project.
Over
twenty years later, The 2H Project under Kate’s lead as Founder, has helped thousands of women survive childbirth. The project organises voluntary Australian health professionals to fly out for trips, to work with their counterparts in Cambodia. Kate has nurtured partnerships in Cambodia with the Cambodian Government, Provincial Health Departments, National Maternal & Child Health Centre and the Cambodian National Midwifery Association, all who now recognise The 2H Project’s programs as a benchmark for educational midwifery standards across the country. |
