The challenges associated with managing complex mental health conditions, client and peer relationships, as well as keeping on top of new developments and research in the field can be overwhelming – and, at times, lonely. 

In this episode, we speak to GP and medical educator at Black Dog Institute, Dr Phoebe Holdenson-Kimura, about a new resource for health professionals that highlights the value of building an interdisciplinary community of peers and colleagues for tackling problems and gaining insights from across different disciplines within the mental health space.

We chat about how the Hub works, which Health Professionals can benefit from it and what kind of content you can access. As well as the Community of Practice there’s an extensive range of short online webinars, podcasts and CPD modules covering the latest developments and research in mental health. Dr Holdenson-Kimura takes us through all the ways health professionals can access expert insights and content related to their interest or field of practice. We also talk about digital mental health and what blended care really looks like in practice.
