ESTEEM After Stroke Recovery

Professor Andrew Bailey emphasises that leisure is not simply time off or entertainment, it is an important contributor to mental, emotional and social health.

In this edition we'll hear that:
Meaningful leisure activities help people recover from stress and improve overall wellbeing
Leisure is most beneficial when it involves connection, purpose, creativity, physical activity, or time in nature
Modern life often treats leisure as unproductive, but healthy recreation is essential for resilience and quality of life
Outdoor experiences and shared activities can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and strengthen community connection

Professor Bailey is from the Department of Health and Human Performance, College of Health, Education and Professional Studies, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Callum Howes - Radiography and Radiation Exposure

Professor Kelvin Kong advocates strongly for improving the health, hearing, education and life opportunities of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, especially through early detection and treatment of ear disease.

As an Indigenous surgeon and a proud Worimi man, he has focused much of his work on chronic ear infections (otitis media or "glue ear"), which affect Indigenous children at some of the highest rates in the world. He argues that untreated hearing loss can seriously affect speech, language development, school participation and future employment opportunities.
