R U OK Day
This was held yesterday, but it's not too late to ask someone how they are really going... R U OK Day is dedicated to inspiring all people of all backgrounds to regularly ask each other ‘Are you ok?'
By raising awareness about the importance of connection and providing resources throughout the year, the R U OK? Foundation aims to prevent isolation by empowering people to support each other through life's ups and downs.
Research Study Looking for Participants
Kerry Arrow, a student from RMIT University is completing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Kerry is looking for participants for her research study, see below:
"For my doctoral thesis I designed an online group therapy program (MoodGroup) for the treatment of depression in Australian adults.
We are seeking participants for a randomised controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of MoodGroup. The program runs for 9 weeks and 6-8 participants per group meet in an online classroom for two hours each week. The groups are facilitated by provisional psychologists and the content is derived from cognitive-behavioural therapy.
Participants are also required to undertake readings and home practice activities.
Further information about MoodGroup can be found here: http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse/RMIT%20News/Newsroom/News/Media%20Releases/by%20date/Aug/Wed%2029/Online%20depression%20therapy%20participants%20sought
You can also access the webpage here: www.rmit.edu.au/psychology/moodgroup
If you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact me on moodgroup@rmit.edu.au or kerry.arrow@student.rmit.edu.au.
Kind regards,
Kerry Arrow"

Week 4 - Study Tips & Research Opportunity
It's week four already! How is your study going???
Have you discovered any great study tips you could share? Please let us know by posting them here!
Tip of the Week
One student shared with me her idea for keeping on top of her work each week...
She uses 1 small sticky note for each specific study task. For example, a reading, an online discussion post, a reading for an assignment, time spent writing a reference list etc.
Each task is then stuck onto the LTU study planner on the appropriate days. This helps her to see how much work there is each week and helps her to break down each assignment into smaller tasks which seem more achieveable.
You can use a different coloured sticky note for each course.
Then there is the satisfaction of ripping off the sticky note after each task has been accomplished...
It might be worth giving it a try...

Want to be part of a research project about living with Asperger's Syndrome?
Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is seeking to investigate, the life experiences, aspirations and support needs of adults (aged 18 and over) with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) and high functioning autism (HFA). We intend to use the findings of this research to raise awareness and present information to governments and service providers that will enable them to better understand and respond to the needs of this client group.
Data will be collected in three ways:
1) From adults with AS and HFA, via a questionnaire (available online or as a paper document).
2) From parents of adults with AS and HFA, via a questionnaire (available online or as a paper document).
3) From service providers across a range of sectors (e.g. health, higher education, employment), via telephone interviews.
If you would like to be involved, there are two ways:
1. Complete the questionnaire by following the link at the top of the Aspect home page: www.autismspectrum.org.au, OR
2. Contact Susanna Baldwin on sbaldwin@autismspectrum.org.au or (02) 8868 8510 for more information.

100 Leaders: Stories from People Living with a Disability
Research Project: '100 Leaders: Stories from people living with disability'
For more information:
Kerry Telford and Alicia Fidock, Research Officers
Julia Farr Group, PO box 701, Unley Business Centre SA 5061
- The 100 Leaders project aims to collect a hundred stories from people living with disability who have achieved personalised support arrangements and active citizenhood.
- It is intended that these stories will be placed on the In Control Australia website so that other people living with disability can access them. Stories can be inspiring for others in similar situations to read.
- Participants are able to choose the form in which they tell their story. For example it may be videotaped, audiotaped, may be in written words or presented as a PowerPoint file. Alternatively participants can choose to tell the story in an interview.
- You may have other ideas about the way which will make it easy to participate and you are encouraged to discuss these ideas with one of the researchers.

The second aim is to assist governments and community organisations to develop policies and services to support young carers and their families.
What are we asking you to do?
Young carers (12-17yrs), young adult carers (18-25yrs) and people (aged 18 and above) receiving care who express interest will be invited to participate an individual interview of about an hour’s duration either face-to-face or by phone and asked to complete a short questionnaire of about 15- 20 minutes.
