Households and businesses are doing it tough across the nation but with a flurry of care packages it’s hard to keep up with what support is out there for everyday Australians.

Australian Banking Association chief executive Anna Bligh will be catching up with The West Live host Jenna Clarke at 8.45am this morning to talk through how your bank can help and what kind of financial release valves are on offer.

In uncertain times and a steep rise in national anxiety, Perth Psychologist Rochelle Masters stops by the studio to talk about the best ways to reduce the stress brought on by the social atmosphere created by COVID-19.

There’s not a lot to laugh about at the moment but sometimes just willing ourselves to have a chuckle can raise the spirits which another guest joining Jenna can attest to.

Rounding out the week is Laughter Practitioner Grant Stone who will run a five minute belly laughing session.

Tune in here at 8.45am.
