Better Life Therapy

Today in session one of our amazing clients utilised our new therapeutic tool, the Meta Quest 3 – Virtual Reality headset, to help them prepare for an upcoming trip. This is to help reduce levels of anxiety and challenges this client experiences. 🏖️✨
Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive and engaging therapy experience that can be tailored to individual client needs, challenges and goals. This helps expose clients to external stimuli that they need extra support in while still allowing them to feel safe within the comfort of their home. VR, in combination with face-to-face therapy and support allows clients to reach their goals and helps build skills and confidence.

It can be a difficult day for veterans and families who have lost loved ones, as well as those who continue to serve. If you're able to, check in and remind them you're there for them ❤️

If today brings up tough emotions for you or a loved one and you need someone to talk to, we encourage you to reach out to the Open Arms Counselling Service on 1800 011 046 for free and confidential support 24/7. You can find other support services at www.ruok.org.au/findhelp

Today is World Mental Health Day and this year's theme is meaningful connections matter.

In Australia, 1 in 5 people are affected by mental ill-health.

Having meaningful connections with others means we're better placed to recognise the signs someone is struggling and check in. The conversation that follows could change a life.

For tips on how to build meaningful connections visit www.worldmentalhealthday.com.au/resources
