✨ New episode out ✨

What if crisis care felt a little different?
In this episode, we speak with Danny, Centre Manager of Neami National’s Urgent Mental Health Care Centre in Adelaide, about a different approach to supporting people experiencing mental health crisis.
At the centre, people are welcomed as guests, not patients or clients. We explore what this means in practice, from peer support and a philosophy of “care, not treatment” to a calm, lounge room-like environment where guests are recognised as the experts in their own lives.
Danny shares what happens when someone walks through the door, why the centre prioritises safety over surveillance, and how small shifts in language, environment and relationships can transform the experience of crisis.

One of the most powerful moments in That Anxious Feeling isn’t learning about anxiety.

It’s hearing someone describe an experience you’ve might’ve never had words for.

Past course participants told us that hearing lived experience stories helped them feel less alone, normalised their experiences, and gave them new ways to understand themselves.

Whether you’re living with anxiety, supporting someone else, or simply curious to learn more, you’re welcome here.

✨ New episode out ✨

Matt Ball shares personal stories of hearing voices, spiritual searching, grief, and parenthood, reflecting on how these are all part of being human. We explore why some experiences are labelled acceptable and others not, and consider how all can be meaningful responses to life. We also hear about Just Listening, an approach centred on being present with someone without judgement or trying to fix. At its core, this episode is about the power of being heard just as you are.
