For many of us, Friday afternoons are the perfect time to slow down and practice a little self-care. Whether it’s a quiet cup of tea, a walk outside, some mindful breathing, or simply doing nothing at all - taking that time for yourself can set the tone for a restful weekend.

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about choosing something that nourishes your mind, body or soul.

So, what’s your favourite Friday afternoon ritual? Share with us below!

Why is this FREE?
At Calm Minds Clinic, we understand how challenging and time-consuming it can be for families and caregivers to find or create quality resources that truly support emotional and sensory regulation. We’ve felt that pull ourselves: the need for practical, engaging tools that don’t break the bank or add extra stress.

That’s why we are committed to offering free and low-cost resources like the Regulation Adventure Map. We want to make it easier for our clients and the wider community to access helpful, evidence-based materials that empower people to thrive. By sharing these tools freely for the first 72 hours, we hope to lighten the load and inspire connection, creativity and calm in every home.

One of the best things about telehealth therapy?

Less time finding a carpark - more time focusing on you.

No traffic, no waiting rooms, no stress.

Just meaningful support from the comfort of your own space.

And when you're done, there's still time left in your day for the things you love.

Therapy should feel accessible, empowering and flexible - and telehealth helps make that possible.

Ready to prioritise your mental health in a way that works for you?

We’re here when you need us. :)
