A few weeks ago, I gave an extensive interview on Myall Radio, on NSW’s North Coast, talking about the continuing impact that declining mental health is having on our young people, on worrying social and psychological trends and their impact, and other topics.

Last week a new phrase entered our daily lexicon: “Re–entry anxiety”.
It describes the feelings of anxiety and trepidation many people across states and territories experienced, as we emerge from our lockdown ‘cocoon’ and began renegotiating our social and working worlds.
