As a child, today’s guest Tahnee Bridson suffered from worry and anxiety. But it wasn’t until Tahnee was a medical student that she really began to take note of her mental and physical health. After pushing it too far, Tahnee ended up going from a student working in a hospital to a patient, under the care of her colleagues and friends.
This was just one of the experiences that led Tahnee to found Hand-n-Hand Peer Support. A free and confidential service for medical professionals who are struggling from burnout and trauma.
In this episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, we sit down with the 2022 Queensland Young Australian of the Year, as she shares the importance of taking care of yourself first, how to shrug off people’s opinions (particularly when in a small rural town), and why you should make a change, even when you don’t feel ready to.
