Stress and the FIFO lifestyle

Do you have experience with the FIFO lifestyle? I've had a few FIFO (or drive in and out) workers as clients lately. It seems that this type of job (and lifestyle) can be a real trigger for binge drinking and smoking which can lead to anxiety, financial worries, relationship problems, health problems, the list goes on and on. 

It's a pity that so many people (Tasmanians in particular) find themselves in these sorts of environments with nothing to do and nowhere to go. This is ...an interesting article about mental health for Fifo workers, from facebooks Fifo Man. If you need help with anxiety, smoking, drinking, or anything else in that realm, please get in touch.
