Take a deep breath: it’s Stress Down Day! We’ve got some ideas for how you can look after your stress levels today (and every day):
🧘 Set aside 15 minutes to practice mindfulness
🌳 Go for a walk through a park or natural environment
📱 Give yourself an hour away from screens
🤙 Call a friend for a chat

Remember, Stress Down Day isn’t only about giving yourself permission to de-stress for one day – it’s about reminding us that self-care is important for long-term wellbeing.

🗣️ Tell us: what’s one thing you’ll be doing at home or at work to “stress down”?

Today, on International Non-Binary People’s Day, we celebrate non-binary people and reflect on the challenges they face.

💛 Being non-binary means not identifying as male or female – or identifying as a mix of both

🤍 Non-binary people have always been part of our communities

💜 Visibility of non-binary people helps make the world more inclusive for everyone

🖤 Non-binarism looks different from person to person

It takes courage to live authentically. Let’s continue pushing for a world where everyone, regardless of gender identity, feels safe, seen, and supported.

Our headspace and Closing the Gap Integrated Team Care teams had a ball (🏈 pun intended) at the Santos Aboriginal Power Cup - an incredible event that brought together hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from across the state.

While it was a great opportunity for students to play a few rounds of football, they also got to showcase their cultural pride through traditional dance, art, and community presentations. We loved seeing the energy, teamwork, and spirit displayed by students.

At our headspace and Sonder stalls, our team enjoyed having meaningful conversations with students, educators, and community leaders about managing their health, accessing help, and supporting each other’s physical, emotional, and mental health, especially in cultural contexts.

We can’t wait for next year’s Santos Aboriginal Power Cup! ❤️💛🖤

Our Closing the Gap - Integrated Team Care (CTG ITC) team enjoyed attending NAIDOC in the South at Christies Beach last week!

The day began with a community march and finished in celebration, featuring performances by local First Nations musicians and opportunities for community members to connect with local services.

We especially loved seeing community members engage in our interactive activity, reflecting on this year’s NAIDOC theme:

✨ “What strengths do we carry from this generation?”
✨ “What hopes do you have for the future generation?”

🎨 Congratulations to the lucky winner of an original artwork by our talented CTG ITC Outreach Worker and Aboriginal artist, Ramon Gadd.
