We’re really proud of Benny,
The courage it takes to share and speak in front of others about your journey is not something that should be skipped over.

This guy has faced adversity, owned it & made good of it. We love what he represents & the impact he is making as a speaker for Mindfull Aus. So many can learn from his journey as he has from others.

A journey of grit, perseverance & resilience.

Great work Ben & great work Lavalla , a school that is both proactive & passionate about this work but also kind, appreciative and respectful for our little contributions to the mission.

🙌🏼💚🖤

Lavalla- thanks for having me 💚

10 min into my talk A few students walked in late & I said-

“Ya didn’t miss much boys, I just gave the story of how I stuffed up my whole life”

I discussed how I’ve been down & out & back again. Normalising that at times you will experience mental health challenges- it’s how you respond that counts.

-Take extreme accountability
-Make better choices

-Write lists
-Exercise
-Give service
Live with purpose 🚀

But above all take action⚡️

There were some brave people in the room that stood up & also those that shared- they inspired me & it was a pleasure to present to this school in partnership with Mindfull Aus 🫶🏼

Get around each other 🤗

“When you care as much as we do, putting in the passion, heart and giving it everything you have becomes second nature.”

That’s what drives us at Mindfull Aus — and it’s why hearing feedback like this from our recent seminars means so much. Every school, every workplace, every parent group we meet reminds us why this work matters.

Swipe through some of the words shared with us 💬👇 — and know that behind every testimonial is a conversation, a connection, and a community made stronger.

Thanks to those who trust in Mindfull Aus.

This one is pretty cool...

Last week Envest held their Conference in Queensland. Envest is the largest privately owned insurance and financial services distribution group in Australia.

As part of the conference, Envest hosted its dress up Awards Night, with Mindfull Aus becoming recipient to a very generous $10,000 donation.

What makes it even better, is that it was a surprise to Mindfull Aus and a surprise to Andrew & Louise (Matt's parents) who were in attendance.

Nothing we love more than generous support of our mission, but stitching up our parents in a dress up costume on a big stage in front of others - might be our best donation yet.

Thank you to Meagan & the entire Envest team for their support of our mission & we look forward to working together up ahead.

Thanks to our valued partnership with AGL Hydro & Windfarms, our team had the opportunity to spend time at Dunkeld Consolidated School in the beautiful Grampians.

Dave, Kane & Liam had an absolute blast working with students as they explored the big emotions we all face, and learned practical ways to navigate the tricky ones. Using simple frameworks — Identify, Control your environment & choices, and Express in a positive way — the kids built tools they can carry well beyond the classroom.

Our facilitators came home buzzing with energy and gratitude — always the sign of a wonderful school community. 🌟

A big thank you to Dunkeld Consolidated School for welcoming us so warmly, and to AGL for making this important work possible.
Together, we’re helping create stronger, more resilient young people across regional Australia.

💛 RUOK? Day 💛

For us at Mindfull Aus, every day is RUOK? Day.
We believe in creating conversations, connection, and support 365 days of the year and we do that in spades.

So today, we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of just starting conversations (beyond all our team and speakers out there across the country today delivering programs), we want to pause and reflect. To acknowledge and thank the incredible people who stand beside us — those who show up, put their weight behind our mission, and give so generously to keep us moving forward. Either by sponsorship or by joining the Mindfull Aus Movement Membership.

Your support means the world. Together, we’re changing the way mind and behavioural health is perceived and treated across our communities.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you, you are the change agents in our eyes. 💚

💚 We’re proud of our ongoing relationship with South Gippsland Shire Council, working alongside them for a number of years to deliver proactive, practical and caring mental health training across all avenues of their staff.

It’s inspiring to see a council so committed to being on the front foot with workplace wellbeing and building a culture that puts people first.

A big thanks to Ashley for another fantastic delivery (and for bringing out the LEGO kits to keep things fun along the way 🧩).

Together, we’re helping create stronger, healthier, and more connected workplaces. 🙌

🕯️ Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

At Mindfull Aus, we know the power of honest conversations, early education, and standing side-by-side in tough times.
Every life matters. Every voice deserves to be heard. And every single one of us can play a role in preventing su***de — by checking in, by listening without judgment, by reminding someone they’re not alone.

Today, we ask you to pause. Reach out. Send that message. Make that call. Carve out the time.

Because we know the difference a small act of care can make. It's how our journey began.

Together, let’s keep building a world where it’s safe to talk about what hurts, and comfort in the tough conversations.

Our thoughts go out to all of the beautiful people that we do this work in honour of, the families impacted and left behind. Let's continue to use our voices of experience - to change the way it looks and feels. Make them proud! 💚
