❤️ With Reconciliation Week wrapping up today on Mabo Day, we wanted to share how we’ve been showing our support!

💛 In our waiting area, we set up a space for staff and young people to check out info about Reconciliation Week and reflect on what they're doing - and what more they can do - to be part of Australia's reconciliation journey.

🖤 We’ve also put together a bunch of awesome recs for what to read, watch, listen to and First Nations businesses they can support all year round.

This land always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.

Supporting a young person experiencing mental health or wellbeing challenges can be deeply rewarding, but it can also have an impact on your own wellbeing. It's important to encourage our young people to practice self-care, and to look after our own mental health and wellbeing, so that we can continue to support them as best we can.

Families and those supporting young people can join our peer-led group chat to share their experiences and discuss ways to navigate challenges around their own self-care whilst encouraging young people to do the same.

🗓️ Wednesday 7 May
🕡 6:30 – 9:45 pm AEDT
