Positive Vibes Foundation

Promoting positive mental health and wellbeing in the COMMUNITY through CONNECTIONS and CONVERSATIONS.
(1)

The Positive Vibes Foundation was formed in 2014 by a psychiatrist working in Castle Hill. The charity was driven by the need to eliminate the stigma around mental health, which at the time was preventing many from seeking treatment. While the stigma has lessened somewhat today, conversations around mental health are still vital in helping more people within the community to live healthier lives. Through Positive Vibes’ four core programs – The Hills Women’s Shed, Paw Visits, the Young Healthy Minds Forum and Community Engagement – we are working to make deeper connections and increase the conversation around mental wellbeing.

💁‍♀️ Too many women and families suffer in silence, especially in multicultural communities where mental health is still taboo.

But change starts when we listen, speak up, and support services that understand cultural context.

Your voice, your support, your share, it all matters.

Our young people are struggling, and many are still unheard. 😥

In multicultural families, mental health conversations can feel taboo.

Let’s hold space for the next generation to speak, heal, and thrive. 💬🧠

👩‍💻 Workplaces. Churches. Homes. Group chats. Community events.

There are so many places where silence still lingers.

✨ Let’s name where we want change to happen, because healing belongs everywhere.

☝️ You're not lazy. You're not weak. You're human.

Rest isn't something you earn, it’s something you need.

Give yourself permission to pause, especially in a world that expects you to keep going. 🌸

💜 Mental wellbeing matters in every culture, every language, every home.

When you choose to act—whether by listening, learning, or giving—you help create space for healing and hope.

Together, we're growing stronger, more compassionate communities.

Here's how to begin mental health conversations:

💬 “I've noticed you seem a bit off—want to talk?”
💬 “How are you really doing these days?”
💬 “No pressure, but I'm here if you ever want to share.”
💬 “I care about you. Let me know how I can help.”
💬 Do you want me to just listen, or help problem-solve?”

You don't need the “perfect words.” Just start. One safe conversation can break years of silence.

“You'll get over it.”
“Just be grateful.”
“Don't bring shame to the family.”

These words shape how we feel about asking for help.

🧠 Let’s name them and break their hold. What have you heard?

These barriers aren’t just statistics, they’re lived experiences:

🪟 Stigma and shame around mental illness
🪟 Language barriers and lack of in-language resources
🪟 Cultural mismatch in care models
🪟 Lack of trust in health systems
🪟 Financial or visa-related limitations

For many culturally diverse communities, accessing mental health support isn’t just about willingness, it’s about safety, trust, and cultural understanding.

🧠 Mental health means different things to different people and that’s okay.

For some, it’s rest. For others, it’s support, movement, therapy, or belonging.

We'd love to hear what it means to you.

Your voice could help someone feel understood. 🌈

✅ True! Research shows that pet interactions can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and spark joy.

That’s the heart behind our Paw Visits, bringing furry friends to aged care homes for connection and comfort.

Even a few minutes with a gentle pup can shift someone’s whole day.

Want to be part of it? Get involved with our volunteer program today.

You don't need all the answers to support someone’s mental health. Sometimes, your quiet presence is more healing than any advice.

👂 Listen fully without interrupting
💬 Reflect what they're feeling
🙏 Avoid giving advice unless they ask
🤲 Offer your presence, not pressure
🕊 Remind them they're not a burden

Let’s create a community where no one feels like a problem to be solved.
