Today, we pause to remember. 🌺

On this Remembrance Day, we honour the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who have served (and continue to serve) our country.

Remembrance is not only about looking back, but also about how we care for those who carry the lasting impact of service today. At Body & Mind, we remain committed to ensuring that Veterans and their families have access to compassionate, timely mental health support...because remembrance must also mean action.

Lest we forget. 💙

Ever feel like you’re carrying everything at once? 😫

That’s emotional overload – your nervous system’s way of signalling, “I’ve had enough.”

The “Physiological Sigh” Trick 😌 (Kid-Friendly & Grown-Up Approved!)

Looking for a fast, simple way to help your little one (or yourself) dial down the tension? This two-step breathing trick can work wonders — no special equipment required.

1️⃣ Take two quick inhales through your nose, one right after the other.
2️⃣ Exhale slowly and steadily through your mouth.
3️⃣ Repeat for a few breath cycles.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Why it helps: By taking a double inhale and a long exhale, you help your body clear excess CO₂ and switch into relaxation mode. Kids often enjoy the playful rhythm, find that second inhale hilarious and bonus points if you make your sigh audible!

Plus, feeling that immediate calm can be its own little superpower. 🦸🏻‍♀️

Give it a try whenever stress sneaks up on you. It’s an easy technique that can bring everyone a moment of peace (and maybe a smile too).

Pssst. 🤫 (Lean in!)

Your worth isn’t measured by your productivity and... that list will still be there tomorrow.

So, if you need to rest, reset, or simply do a little less — let that be enough.

You don’t have to do it all today. 🧡

Real support makes a real difference.

Our psychology and counselling services aren’t just about ticking boxes — they’re about showing up with care, compassion, and consistency.

When you connect with someone who truly listens, understands, and checks in — especially when you're struggling — it can change everything.

At Body & Mind, our Veterans have access to professional Telehealth support with zero wait times, regular check-ins, and a whole range of tools designed to support your wellbeing — including an online community, complimentary premium access to the Calm app, targeted hypnotherapy programs, and a self-guided portal with yoga, art therapy, and more.

And best of all, the program is fully funded for DVA card holders.

💙 Feel seen.
💙 Feel supported.
💙 Feel better.

Healing isn’t linear. And it rarely feels neat.

Some days you’ll feel strong. Other days, you’ll feel like you’ve gone backwards. But even on the hard days, you’re still moving forward.

Progress is showing up. Trying again. Taking care of yourself in small, quiet ways.

Keep going. You’re doing better than you think. 💙
