Yesterday, we had the opportunity to visit the new Tasmanian Eating Disorder Services (TEDS) facility for Northern Tasmania. 💚

It was encouraging to see Tasmania’s first community-based eating disorder treatment centre taking shape in Launceston. The space has been designed to feel welcoming and home-like, with therapy and consultation rooms, a shared kitchen and dining area, and therapeutic outdoor spaces.

This new facility will provide specialist care closer to home through community-based intensive treatment, including individual therapy as well as day and evening programs, allowing people to remain connected to their everyday lives while accessing care.

We had valuable conversations about future plans and the ongoing development of the service and its programs, and we’re excited about the positive difference this will make for Tasmanians - particularly those living in the north of the state. 🌟

We understand that our community is made up of people with different stories, needs, and experiences. 💚

At the Launceston Medicare Mental Health Centre, we offer individual mental health support and work alongside people to connect them with other local services that feel right for them and where they’re at.

Because access to local support matters. 💪

Quick Tip Tuesday 🌿
Try a Physiological Sigh - a simple breathing technique that can help your body settle when things feel tense or overwhelming.

Take two breaths in through your nose, then slowly breathe out through your mouth. You can repeat this a few times if it feels helpful.

It’s a quick way to pause and reset, and you can do it anywhere. 😌

Support is available, no matter where you’re at.

You don’t need to have everything figured out, and you don’t need to know exactly what kind of help you’re looking for.

If something’s been sitting with you, if you’re feeling unsure, or if you just need a place to start, our team is here to listen and support you. We can also help connect you with other services if that’s what you need.

You’re welcome to walk in when it feels right for you. 💚
