S4 Ep14: Addressing mental health in the bush, with Dolly's Dream's Sally McSweeney and mental health expert Dr Simone Shaw

Today’s Weekly Grill podcast turns to the important topic of mental health in the bush, with contributions from Dolly’s Dream general manager Sally McSweeny and neuro science specialist Dr Simone Shaw.

Dolly’s Dream was created by NT couple Kate and Tick Everett following the loss of their 14-year-old daughter, Dolly, to suicide, after ongoing bullying. They have been tirelessly working since then to change the culture of bullying. Today Dolly’s Dream addresses the impact of bullying, anxiety, depression, and youth suicide through direct support to young people and their families, especially to those living in rural, regional and remote Australia.

At Beef 2024 in Rockhampton next month, Do It For Dolly Day will be celebrated in Friday 10 May, dedicated to bringing the community together, spreading kindness, and uniting to end bullying in honour of Dolly Everett.

Here’s how visitors can participate:

Go blue: Wear something blue on Friday 10 May or come down to the McKenzie Pavillion and buy some Dolly’s Dream merchandise.

Be kind: Embrace kindness in all your actions and go that extra mile on the day (or week!) to be kind to someone. One kind word can change someone’s entire day.

Fundraise: Help raise funds to deliver our anti-bullying initiatives. Your efforts will ensure that we can continue to support young people and families experiencing bullying. You can register your activity here.

Donations: You can download a Do It For Dolly Day poster to display at your Beef 2024 site to encourage donations.

There is also a fundraising lunch “Dining for a Dream” planned for Tuesday 7 May. Click here for further details.

The Weekly Grill is brought to readers and listeners by Elders and Rhinogard by Zoetis.
