Yesterday, members of our team attended the Tasmanian Su***de Prevention Forum in Hobart.

We’d like to extend our thanks to the organisers and all the services in attendance for their ongoing commitment to working together toward su***de prevention in Tasmania. It was a valuable opportunity to connect, share knowledge, and strengthen our collective approach to supporting our communities.

National Close the Gap Day is a time to recognise the ongoing work needed to achieve health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year’s theme is Community Voices: The Pathway to Justice, Equality and Healing, which highlights the importance of Indigenous leadership, lived experience, and community-led solutions.

Real progress happens when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are heard, respected, and centred in decisions that impact their communities.🧡

Harmony Week is a time to celebrate Australia’s cultural diversity and the many backgrounds, languages and traditions that make our communities stronger.

This year’s theme, Everyone Belongs, reminds us of the importance of creating communities where all people feel respected, valued and included. A sense of belonging plays an important role in our wellbeing and helps build stronger, more connected communities.

This week, take a moment to learn about another culture, start a conversation, or reach out and make someone feel welcome.

Together, we can help create communities where everyone belongs. 🧡

Today is World Sleep Day! 💤

Sleep plays a vital role in our mental health and wellbeing. When we’re well rested, it’s easier to manage stress, regulate emotions, concentrate, and cope with the challenges of everyday life.

If sleep has been difficult lately, small changes can help - like keeping a regular sleep routine, limiting screen time before bed, and creating a calm, comfortable sleep environment.

If ongoing sleep difficulties are affecting your wellbeing, you’re not alone and support is available. 💚

Quick Tip Tuesday 🌿

When emotions feel overwhelming, one simple step can help - name what you’re feeling.

Instead of “I feel bad,” try getting specific.
Research shows that labelling emotions can reduce their intensity and help your brain shift from reacting to responding.

If you’re not sure where to start, use a feelings wheel to explore what might be sitting underneath the surface.
Sometimes clarity can help create calm. 💚

Today on International Women's Day we want to recognise the strength, compassion and leadership of the women in our community - and we’re especially proud to acknowledge the incredible women on our team. Every day, they show up with dedication, empathy and professionalism, supporting others through some of life’s most challenging moments. 💜

This photo only captures just some of the amazing women who make up our team, but we’re grateful for every woman across our service whose work, care and commitment makes a meaningful difference.

Today, and every day, we celebrate the impact of women - in our workplace, in our services, and beyond. 💪

05/03/2026

No referral. No appointment. No cost.

Our service is open to everyone 18+
Whether you’re looking for information, feeling overwhelmed, worried about someone, or just need a place to start.

Walk in and speak with our team about what’s going on for you. We’re here to listen and help connect you with the right supports.

Sometimes the first step is simply walking through the door. 💚

We’d love to see you there. 👋

Today is Self-Injury Awareness Day. 🧡

Self-injury is often misunderstood. Awareness matters because stigma can make it harder to seek support. Compassion, understanding and safe conversations can make a real difference.

If this topic resonates with you, or with someone you care about, know that support is available. Reaching out can feel difficult - but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

27/02/2026

Late February can feel heavy. The year is in full swing, routines are back, and energy levels can dip.

Signs of burnout can include:
• Constant exhaustion
• Feeling irritable or withdrawn
• Trouble sleeping
• Losing motivation

Small steps can help:
✔ Take short breaks
✔ Set boundaries where you can
✔ Make time to engage in activities you enjoy
✔ Reach out for support if you need it

Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health.
If you need support, our team is here to help. 🌿
