A Path To Follow

There are a few difficult but essential learnings I have experienced so far and this is one of them.

With family, at work and within the community; please understand your truth is just that, your truth.

Until our supporter, who held this fundraiser for us on FB, I wasn't aware we had actually been approved as a not for profit you could raise money for. So, now we all know.

A massive thank you to this supporter, for her ongoing support, both financially and emotionally, during our journey.

If you so wish to do some fundraising for us (or any other worthy causes) on FB, follow the below link and type in our name. We are grateful for your consideration. 💙👣👌

We adore our space in the Ormond Arcade.

As the majority of the support we provide is in community, we want to offer the space to share with our community partners.

Very reasonable rates, lovely natural light filled small group/consulting space with an adjoining office/kitchen.

Open to single sessions through to multiple days. Accessible day, night and weekends.

DM us to come and have a browse.

At the start of October I pushed myself straight through to the other side of my comfort zone; applied and was accepted as the Chapter Not For Profit for in Moorabbin.

A Path To Follow needs a community who can support it, practically and financially, to achieve its vision of community supporting each other in their wellbeing journeys.

Wow; I have been blown away by both the support of my new network, wider BNI members and my courage to sit in, at times, sob inducing discomfort to move us closer to our vision.

Between BNI and you, I never, ever forget those of you who walk beside me to make our dream a reality, we raised $3145 at the walkathon! That is equivalent to a whole year of fortnightly one to one sessions for a young person.

From the bottom of my heart 💙. Thank you.

P.S. Sophie and I will be spinning the wheel next week to see who lands the complimentary facial voucher with

Struggling with sleep?

SANE is hosting a webinar about Rest and Recovery, and how trauma, stress, and anxiety can affect sleep. Better still, they will cover what you can do about it.

When life feels heavy or your mind won’t switch off, sleep is often the first thing to go.

Associate Professor Melinda Jackson will unpack:

- How sleep and mental health affect each other
- What happens in your brain when you’re sleep-deprived
- How much sleep most adults need - and why you might need more during stressful times
- Practical, evidence-based strategies to improve your sleep
- When to seek extra support from a GP
- Reassurance that sleep struggles are common - and that small changes can make a big difference.

There’ll also be time for live Q&A, and the conversation will continue on the Forums afterwards.

This year's Mental Health Day theme was about connecting to your community, something we believe is crucial to a mentally healthy future.

Thank you to both .coffee and .bentleigh for sharing this message with your communities and inviting us in.

We are stoked they both want to participate again next year. 🙏💙👣
