🎧 Ready for our podcast of the month? 🎧

This month, we’re loving ‘looking beyond behaviour’ – parts one and two - with Dr Billy Garvey!

If you’re a parent or caregiver navigating tricky behaviours, this two-part podcast series is well worth a listen.

In part one, developmental paediatrician Dr Garvey explores the emotions behind children’s behaviour, what emotional regulation really means, and how kids build resilience when supported by safe, connected relationships.

In part two, Dr Garvey dives into connection over “perfect parenting”, setting boundaries collaboratively, and recognising when families may benefit from extra support.

Both episodes offer compassionate, practical insights grounded in science, and they’re incredibly reassuring for parents doing their best every day!

Find these episodes wherever you get your podcasts or learn more at emergingminds.com.au.

With Australia preparing to restrict social media access for children under 16, many parents and teachers are feeling a mix of relief, confusion and concern.

As for young people? They have questions too.

Our Registered Psychologist, Jake, has written a thoughtful and practical article breaking down what we know about the proposed ban, and what it won’t fix.

Most importantly, he shares guidance for families and schools on supporting healthy screen use, building digital resilience, and helping young people thrive both online and offline.

🌊 The emotional toll of algal blooms 🌊

When the water turns green and toxic, it’s more than the environment that suffers: our mental health can too. Ecological grief, solastalgia, and anxiety are real experiences for many South Aussies.

In her latest article, Solasta Counsellor Cayetana Arranz explores how these events affect wellbeing, and offers practical strategies for building resilience when your restorative spaces are compromised.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, or distress related to environmental changes, professional support can help. Cayetana provides a safe, confidential space to process these emotions and develop coping strategies.

The good news? Cayetana has immediate availability for new clients.

Did you know that employees in inclusive workplaces are 6x more likely to say their work positively impacts their mental health?

The evidence says inclusive workplaces improve engagement, collaboration, performance, and creativity. And everyone has a role to play: simple actions like listening to colleagues, celebrating differences, and challenging bias make a real difference.

Even in inclusive environments, work challenges can still affect mental health, and that’s OK. Accessing confidential psychological support can help you manage stress, build resilience, and thrive.

In Australia, many boys and men grow up hearing messages like “be tough,” “don’t talk about it,” or “she’ll be right.” These expectations can make it harder for men to open up - especially when they’re hurting.

This International Men’s Day, we’re taking a moment to remind men everywhere that their wellbeing matters. Swipe for a message from Jake, one of our Registered Psychologists. 👉

Today (and every day), let’s challenge the idea that strength means silence. Check in with the men in your life, start a conversation, and remind them that they don’t have to carry everything alone.

If you’re finding things difficult, Solasta is here to help. Visit solasta.net.au to learn more and request an appointment. 🌟

Written by Solasta Clinical Psychologist, Dr Madelaine de Valle, this article explores what school stress looks like, why perfectionism can make it worse, and what parents and teachers can do to help. 🏫🎒📚
