It’s okay to not feel okay, but at what point should we seek help? CEO of Beyond Blue, Georgie Harman, takes us through the range of feelings we might be feeling in the short, medium or long-term after the bushfires or any traumatic event. Georgie tells host Margie Hartley about the importance of sharing how you feel with others, how to manage those difficult conversations and gives Beyond Blue’s tips for managing how you’re feeling.
