The Bluegum is a native of this great country and renowned for its rapid growth, adaptability and resilience in adverse environments. It is a beautiful tree whose crushed leaves evoke healing.
Inspired by this ethos, Bluegum Health has evolved over many years of working amongst people who work in high tempo environments, noting how coalface fatigue erodes health. Especially for those carrying leadership responsibilities, compressed recovery is focused on a rapid turnaround of capacity. Standard psychiatry and therapy treatments are not consistent in achieving recovery.
There is a range of mental health services around, but most are bound up in processes and therapies that struggle to fully consider the environments of high tempo service. Grounded in adverse environments, mission focused and intense employment needs authentic culturally competent and nuanced care. The resolution of traumatic exposures needs a return to basics - supported by a medically lead clinical team that gets the space.
Bluegum targets the gaps within the current mental health offerings - meeting people before the wheels are truly off, addressing why coping is breaking down, identifying what is currently not working for people, and examining any unresolved traumas in someone's developmental story.
Outside what can be achieved in a standard outpatient setting and spending time on a ward, lies the potential for growth with Bluegum Health..... intense small teams in rural, bespoke, recovery based care.
