National Cookie Day 🍪

Sometimes it’s the little things that get us through — like a soft choc chip bikkie and a quiet moment to breathe.

At Amity, we know recovery doesn’t always look like big breakthroughs. Sometimes it’s just showing up, sharing a snack, and having a chat that feels real.

So whether you're baking, dunking, or just eating straight from the packet — happy Cookie Day. You’ve earned it.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Wednesday 3rd of December

Today’s not about empty slogans or inspirational spin.

It’s a reminder to listen. To centre lived experience. To challenge systems that weren’t built with everyone in mind.

At Amity, we work alongside people with psychosocial disabilities every day — not as “heroes” or “clients” but as humans with insight, grit, humour, and value.

Disability inclusion isn’t about permission. It’s about rights, respect, and being willing to do things differently.

Always learning. Always listening. Always backing real, person-led support.

🎄 It’s officially Christmas month! 🎄
For many of our participants and clients, this time of year can bring joy, excitement, and connection. But we also know that December can be a challenging month for others — feelings of loneliness, overwhelm, grief, financial stress, family pressures, or big changes in routine can make this season difficult to navigate.

At Amity Mental Wellness, we’re here to remind you that you don’t have to go through it alone.

Our team is here to offer support throughout the entire Christmas period, including during times when things feel heavier than usual.

✨ We currently have capacity and availability to take on new participants across South East Melbourne and surrounding areas.

✨ Whether you need emotional support, community access, routines, or just someone in your corner — we’re here.

If you or someone you know could benefit from additional support this month, reach out today.

Together, we can make this season feel a little lighter. ❤️

World Diabetes Day – 14 November 💙
Diabetes doesn’t just affect physical health — it can impact mental wellbeing too. The overwhelm, the routines, the invisible stress of managing it all.

At Amity, we see the whole picture. Whether it’s supporting participants with gentle nutrition help, capacity-building routines, or just being a calm, consistent presence — we’re here for the full story, not just the headline.

To everyone living with diabetes, supporting someone who is, or feeling a bit burnt out by the daily juggle — we see you.

You’re doing more than you think. 💙

World Kindness Day
Thursday 13 November

Kindness isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s letting someone go at their own pace. Offering a cuppa without a big conversation. Turning up, even when you don’t have the right words.

At Amity, kindness means being calm, consistent, and real. Not fixing people — just being there for the messy middle bits.

Today’s a reminder that small kindnesses count. And that you don’t have to be having a good day to offer one.

Be gentle with yourself. Be gentle with others. That’s more than enough.

Today we pause.

To remember those who served.
Those who returned.
Those who didn’t.
And those who carried the invisible weight long after the uniforms came off.

At Amity, we know that not all wounds are visible. We hold space today for every story — the proud ones, the painful ones, the quiet ones that never got told.

Lest we forget.
❤️

🌧️ Wet Weather Safety Reminder 🌧️

With all this rain around, it’s a great time to slow down, stay alert, and take extra care on the roads. 💙

🚗 Drive Safely: Wet roads can be slippery — give yourself extra space to stop and reduce your speed.
🌧️ Be Visible: Keep your headlights on and make sure your wipers are working properly.
🕳️ Watch for Hazards: Puddles can hide potholes or debris, so avoid sudden movements or braking.
💧 Plan Ahead: Allow extra travel time and check conditions before heading out.

At Amity Mental Wellness, we care about your wellbeing — on and off the road. Take it slow, stay safe, and look after yourself and others. 💙

👻 Not everyone loves spooky season — and that’s okay.
Halloween can be loud, chaotic, and a bit much if you're someone who likes things calm and predictable.

At Amity, we’re all about supporting people in ways that feel safe and steady. So whether you're dressing up, laying low, or just pretending it’s a regular Tuesday — you’re doing it right.

Take care of your space, your pace, and your nervous system.
Pumpkin optional. 🎃

💙 Your Mental Health Matters 💙

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. 🌿

It’s okay to take a step back.
It’s okay to ask for help.
It’s okay to not be okay sometimes.

At Amity Mental Wellness, we believe that wellness starts with compassion — for ourselves and others. Whether you’re navigating daily stress, seeking balance, or working through deeper challenges, remember you’re not alone. 💫

Let’s keep breaking the stigma and start the conversation — because mental health is health. 💬

💭 Understanding Trauma Responses 💭

Trauma can show up in many ways — and not always how we expect. Everyone’s response is unique, and there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to react.

Some common trauma responses include:
⚡ Fight – becoming defensive or angry to feel in control
🏃‍♀️ Flight – avoiding situations or people that feel unsafe
😶 Freeze – feeling numb, stuck, or unable to act
🤝 Fawn – people-pleasing to keep the peace or avoid conflict

These are our body’s natural ways of protecting us when we feel threatened. Understanding them is the first step toward healing and self-compassion. 💛

If you or someone you know is navigating trauma, remember — you don’t have to go through it alone. Support is available.
