Objective: This paper describes the study protocol of a CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials)-compliant randomized controlled trial for evaluating the effectiveness of the Mind your Mate program, a mobile health (mHealth) peer intervention that aims to prevent mental health (focusing on anxiety and depression) and substance use problems in adolescents.
Methods: Participants will consist of approximately 840 year 9 or year 10 students (60 students per grade per school) from 14 New South Wales high schools in Sydney, Australia. Schools will be recruited from a random selection of independent and public schools across the New South Wales Greater Sydney Area by using publicly available contact details. The intervention will consist of 1 introductory classroom lesson and a downloadable mobile app that will be available for use for 12 months. Schools will be randomly allocated to receive either the mHealth peer intervention or a waitlist control (health education as usual). All students will be given web-based self-assessments at baseline and at 6- and 12-month follow-ups. The primary outcomes of the trial will be the self-reported use of alcohol and drugs, anxiety and depression symptoms, knowledge about mental health and substance use, motives for not drinking, and willingness to seek help. Secondary outcomes will include positive well-being, the quality of life, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Analyses will be conducted using mixed-effects linear regression analyses for normally distributed data and mixed-effects logistic regression analyses for categorical data.
Results: The Mind your Mate study was funded by an Australian Rotary Health Bruce Edwards Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from 2019 to 2022. Some of the development costs for the Mind your Mate intervention came from a seed funding grant from the Brain and Mind Centre of the University of Sydney. The enrollment of schools began in July 2020; 12 of 14 schools were enrolled at the time of submission. Baseline assessments are currently underway, and the first results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2022.
Conclusions: The Mind your Mate study will generate vital new knowledge about the effectiveness of a peer support prevention strategy in real-world settings for the most common mental disorders in youth. If effective, this intervention will constitute a scalable, low-cost prevention strategy that has significant potential to reduce the impact of mental and substance use disorders.
If we are honest, all of us could probably use some work in the area of stress management (see Matthew 6:25-34). And knowing how stress can negatively impact your future marriage is great motivation to work on developing healthy coping skills now.
The campaign aims to promote a wellbeing culture by normalising the conversation around suicide and mental health as well as providing communication assets, links to credible sources such as the life-saving Zero Suicide Alliance training, and signposting to local support via www.checkinwithyourmate.co.uk.
One of the most unrecognised populations of those suffering from such feelings are men. Less than 1 in 4 men, who have high levels of stress, are willing to discuss it with friends or a family member. That's why it's important to know the indicators of depression that can lead to suicide, including: drinking a lot; going quiet and changes in personality; more stress than usual; seeming off your game if playing sports; not going out as much; and generally not being yourself.
Our romantic relationships often start with dates, those planned opportunities to spend time sharing activities as a couple. We get married to spend more time together. Yet, if we are not diligent to date our mate, the busyness of life can infringe until we spend less time together now that we are married than we did before our vows.
We get too busy and skip a date if we forget to plan for it. Mark a couple of hours on the calendar to enjoy an activity with your mate. Then, set aside money for those special occasions. If something unexpected comes up, reschedule or make minor changes to the plans as the circumstances require. If you like different things on date nights, take turns! On one date, eat at your favorite restaurant, and on the next, enjoy an activity that your spouse likes.
As for husbands not planning a date, sorry gals. You will probably end up planning most date nights. But it is so much better for your relationship to have a date night that you planned than no date night at all!
Find fun things to do that make dating your mate an easy habit to do together. Jill and Stuart Briscoe took up birdwatching because neither knew anything about the topic. Without any previous experience identifying birds, they were both beginners and shared the learning experience. One couple visited local locations that had been part of the development of their relationship. When his wife gave him ballroom dance lessons, one husband initially felt reluctant but quickly warmed up to the easy romance of sharing the dance steps.
Exploring new interests together broadens your shared life experience. As your horizons expand, your relationship grows and deepens. Keep the romance in your marriage alive by setting aside time and energy to spend one-on-one with your spouse. Dating your mate reminds both of you that your spouse is valuable and your marriage remains a priority.
Now that you've made a good impression on a prospective mate, you will want to go hunting together. That will let both of you see how strong and healthy the other is, before making a final decision about becoming mates.
Hunt and socialize together for several days, gradually increasing your Affinity (the blue meter on left edge of your wolf badge). When it's full, you can decide whether to make this arrangement permanent.
Let's Hang Out! Upon accepting your trial mate, you can now choose to hang out with your mate for awhile, or proceed onward into winter season and Establish Territory quest. If you choose to hang out with your mate, once you're ready to proceed into winter, you can do so via a button in Pack Info.
Rival Pack Wolves: It is also possible to woo a mate from a rival pack, but can take time to find a pack wolf who is interested in leaving their family to join up with you. Generally, rival wolves are quite hostile. If you run into a rival wolf from another pack that may be interested in partnering, they will have a courtship heart above their head and will behave in a friendly manner. Caution: they may be accompanied by hostile pack mates.
Diversity: Genetic diversity is indicated by stars in dispersal's info (displayed in the upper right of screen). To produce healthy pups, higher diversity (more stars) is better. Diversity is affected by several factors, which are calculated for each prospective mate and then used to generate that wolf's diversity rating relative to your wolf:
Until Death Do Us Part: Choosing Mate Permadeath in Game Settings may result in the death of your mate. If they die, a new Find a New Mate subquest is triggered, so you can seek out dispersals or pack wolves to court. If your mate is female and dies before giving birth to pups, the game will end. Note: you will note have a trial period when choosing a new mate.

When I first learned about yerba mate while living in Argentina, everyone I spoke to told me to cure my gourd. Many Argentines believe that curing helps to concretize the calabash (squash) gourd and prepares it for many years of use.
Using the gourd right away and gently scraping out the inner walls of the gourd every night after a day of sipping mate is all you need to do. Over several weeks, the gourd will naturally cure on its own and form a dark and relatively smooth patina on the inner walls of the gourd.
As time passes, you may still miss your spouse. But for most people, the intense pain will lessen. There will be good and bad days. You will know you are feeling better when there are more good days than bad. You may feel guilty for laughing at a joke or enjoying a visit with a friend. It is important to understand that can be a common feeling.
There are many ways to grieve and to learn to accept loss. Try not to ignore your grief. Support may be available until you can manage your grief on your own. It is especially important to get help with your loss if you feel overwhelmed or very depressed by it.
For some people, mourning can go on so long that it becomes unhealthy. This can be a sign of serious depression and anxiety. Talk with your doctor if sadness keeps you from carrying on with your day-to-day life. Support may be available until you can manage the grief on your own.
