Today is Close the Gap Day 🤝🏽💜

A day to listen, learn, and stand alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the journey toward health equity, justice, and healing.

This year’s theme, Community Voices, reminds us that real change starts with listening to lived experiences, respecting culture, and backing community-led solutions.

At headspace Hedland, we’re committed to walking this path together, creating safe spaces where young people feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Because closing the gap isn’t just a goal, it’s something we all have a role in.

💬 Take a moment today to reflect, start a conversation, or learn something new.

Because when we make space for each other, amazing things happen.

Its the start of a new week! that means, fresh energy, and a chance to check in with your mental health. 💚

Sometimes looking after your wellbeing can feel like a big task, but breaking it down into small daily actions can make it much easier. This week, why not try setting a simple theme for each day?

🗓 Monday – Plan
Start the week by organising your schedule and setting a few realistic goals.

🥗 Tuesday – Health
Choose foods that fuel you or try cooking something new.

🚶 Wednesday – Move
Get your body moving with a walk, stretch, or quick workout.

📵 Thursday – Unplug
Take a break from screens or social media and give your mind some quiet time.

🧹 Friday – Declutter
Clear your workspace, tidy a small area, or organise something that’s been on your list.

🎨 Saturday – Relax
Spend time doing something you enjoy. Hobbies, creativity, rest, or just slowing down.

🧠 Sunday – Align
Reflect on the week, journal your thoughts, and set intentions for the week ahead.

Mental health care doesn’t have to be complicated. Small steps, done consistently, can make a big difference. Try a few this week and see how you go. 🌿

If you need extra support, there are people ready to listen.

Life can move pretty fast sometimes. Between work, school, notifications and everything else going on, it’s easy to feel like your brain never really gets a break.

That’s where a Slow Down Menu can help. 🧠🌿

Think of it as a list of simple ways to pause and reset throughout the day. You don’t need lots of time or special equipment, just a few minutes to check in with yourself.

Maybe that looks like stepping outside for some fresh air, taking a few slow breaths, stretching your body, putting the phone down for a moment, or doing something small that helps you feel calm again.

Slowing down isn’t about doing less, it’s about giving your mind the space it needs to recharge.

If things are feeling overwhelming, remember you don’t have to handle it on your own. Support is always available.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your mind is simply slow things down for a moment. 💚

Looking after your mental health doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s the small, everyday things that help the most. 🌿

Think of self-care like a menu. You don’t have to do everything, just pick something that feels doable today.

Maybe it’s a quick stretch at your desk, a few minutes of fresh air outside, a slow cup of tea, a short walk, or taking a moment to reset your breathing. Even a few minutes can help your mind settle and your body catch up.

Our Self Care Menu is full of simple ideas you can try:
🏠 At home
💼 At work
🌳 Outside

Taking part in your own mental health care is powerful. Small choices, done regularly, can build stronger habits and help you feel more balanced over time.

And remember, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Support is always there if you need it.

Your mental health matters. Sometimes the first step is simply choosing something small from the menu. 💚

Sometimes the world can feel loud. 🌏📱
Big headlines, constant updates, and conversations online can make it easy to feel overwhelmed or worried about what might happen next.

If the news cycle has your brain running overtime, it’s okay to pause. Taking care of your mental health means giving yourself permission to slow things down and focus on what helps you feel steady again.

Small things can make a big difference:
• Choose what news you consume and how often
• Take breaks from social media
• Get outside and reconnect with nature
• Breathe, reset, and be kind to yourself
• Focus on what you can control

You’re not alone if things feel heavy. Talking it through can really help. 💬

non-attendance.

to connect with other parents and carers, share
experiences, and explore practical strategies to
support your young person through these
challenges.

Drop in anytime during the session and leave
whenever you need. You can join anonymously if
