We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dandelions WA for their generous support in providing school bags to families in need. If your primary or high school child requires a backpack, please do not hesitate to contact us. Alternatively, we will be hosting our last School Holiday's BBQ at the South Hedland Skate Park on Sunday evening, where you can also pick up a school bag in person.

Thank you again for your generous BBQ support and a great start to the New Year. We appreciate everyone who has come to support and spent time with us over the school holidays.

We appreciate you all👏🏾

We had such a beautiful evening at the skate park tonight, with a nice cool breeze and an amazing lightning show in the background.

Thank you so much to , Town of Port Hedland and all the families for your support. I’ve honestly enjoyed seeing everyone come down for the Sunday BBQs. Turning up each week to cook a feed for the young ones — and anyone else who stopped by — has been deadly. The food’s been great, but the yarns, laughs, and company have meant even more. Just knowing there are people there to sit, talk, help out, or lend support in any way really means a lot.

These BBQs have also been a safe space to check in on each other. Through Nih Kaartdijin Mia, we’re trained to share information around Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid, Youth Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid, Deadly Thinking Youth and anyone who needed a yarn or a bit of support knew they could have a chat. If more help was needed, we were always happy to help guide people to the right service.

Nih Kaartdijin Mia also offers Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid training to workplaces by request, helping create safer and more supportive spaces for our people.

A big thank you to everyone who’s supported us over the school holidays. Your time, care, and presence haven’t gone unnoticed.

Just a heads up — next Sunday will be our last Sunday BBQ with school starting back.

We look forward to introducing in the near future.

Thanks again to everyone who’s been part of it. I really appreciate you all. 💛
