Protecting your time, energy, and mental space is a vital act of self-kindness.

💛Learn to Say "No": It's okay to decline invitations or requests that will overwhelm you or cause unnecessary stress.

💛Manage Your Digital Life: Take breaks from social media and news feeds. Unplugging can prevent the comparison and anxiety that often come with constant scrolling.

💛Set Realistic Expectations: Don't put pressure on yourself to be perfect. Break down big tasks into smaller, manageable steps and celebrate your progress.

Today is R U OK? Day.

It's a powerful reminder that a simple question can change a life. Your conversation could be the very thing someone needs to hear to feel less alone.

This R U OK? Day, make the time. Ask a friend, family member, or colleague "Are you okay?" and truly listen to their answer.

Because a simple question can open the door to a meaningful conversation.

Join us at 1pm in the Hilltop Plaza Arcade for connection, music and a chat.

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we pause and stand together as a community.

We remember those we have lost to su***de, their lives a permanent part of our story. We honour the resilience of survivors, and we extend our hand to those who are currently struggling in silence.

This day is a powerful reminder to speak up. Whether you're reaching out for help yourself or starting a conversation with someone you care about, remember that your voice matters.

Support is available, and you are never alone. Visit the Mental Health & Wellbeing Hub at 54 Ridley Street Charlestown. We are here for you.

Sometimes facing a new week can feel overwhelming. But remember, a few bad days don't define you.

I challenge you to find something good in each day. It might be as simple as a beautiful sunset, a great cup of coffee, a call with a friend, or a walk in nature.

And if you ever need support, please reach out. Tell someone. You don't have to carry it alone.

If you need someone to talk to this week, drop into the Evolve Hub, 54 Ridley Street Charlestown. Mon-Fri 9am - 4:30pm. We are here for you.
