MENTAL HEALTH SERIES Episode 11: In this episode, Prof Grant
Schofield speaks with Josh Darby, a senior firefighter and trauma
and psychological injury researcher.

Grant and Josh discuss Josh’s journey as a career firefighter
from the early age of 16 and his own personal experience dealing
with psychological trauma and injury on the job. The two also
cover Josh's pathway into academia and his extensive work in
health & wellbeing research.

"If you think about resilience, if I go into the gym and I don't
expose my muscles to a stressor, then to some degree I'm going to
atrophy and there's not going to be growth. By the same token, if
I completely overload my muscle's ability to cope with that
weight, that stressor, then I'm going to get injured.

We've got these two extremes. Can we negotiate some type of
compromise, some type of middle ground, where you're being
exposed to a stressor, but you're being exposed in such a way
where, it's not completely overwhelming and won't lead to injury.
Psychologically or physically." – Josh Darby
