Painaustralia, Our Newest Friend
We love the saying, ‘It takes a village’. And although it relates to raising children, the belief that an entire community must provide for and interact positively to manage something important and achieve greatness resonates perfectly with the Friends of My Health Story (MHS). With this positive statement, we welcome Painaustralia as our newest MHS Friend. Living with a chronic illness can make it challenging to access the right healthcare team and resources.

Introducing My Health Story friend, Wise Psychology
Seeking mental health support when living with an invisible illness is essential to the care and well-being process. Finding high-quality and accessible mental health support tailored to your needs can be difficult. Wise Psychology, My Health Story’s (MHS) latest friend, could be your answer to this problem! Chronic illness has a substantial psychological and emotional component, including stress, anxiety, guilt, grief, shame, and depression. People living with invisible chronic conditions can be left feeling their illness is ‘all in their head’. However, we know that depression, anxiety and stress significantly correlate with chronic illness and additional burdens that no one should face alone. […]
