This year has been a huge success raising funds for mental health awareness and suice prevention and awareness. Not only did I smash my goal but broke a new record raising $1,228.00! This goes a long way helping approximately 1,557 people.

Working in this industry we must face very personal mental health issues and become open and aware to give the most appropriate support relevant to our clients and their mental health challenges. Many people with disabilities find it hard to understand these challenges and even approach talking about these issues until it is too late. No matter who you are whether you live neurodiverse or neurotypical we need to promote awareness and speaking out ❤️

!! 6 DAYS TIL GO TIME !!

I feel privileged to be part of a remarkable movement, spreading awareness for mental health each year by participating in mullets for mental health. This year, we are fortunate that the Black Dog Institute have allowed us to open our fundraiser page early to maximize sponsorships.

Throughout my life, I have battled serious mental health issues, from Panic Disorder to depression. I have had a best mate take his own life, and my work within the disability sector i engage with individuals who are constantly batteling their own demons. This is a poignant reminder of the importance of speaking out. I know that as a man, it can be tough to acknowledge that you are not doing okay, but I'm here to tell you that this is a sign of strength, not weakness. By speaking out and seeking help, we can break down the stigma surrounding mental health. I want my mullet to be a conversation starter, encouraging others to talk about mental health.

This is my 4th year of participating in this cause and last year I reached my goal of $1000 raised. I am again looking to meet that $1000 mark with your support.

It's okay to not be okay, but it's not okay to stay silent.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, is invaluable in helping towards men's mental health research and support.

I'm raising money for a cause close to my heart and would love your support.

As the Uni semester begins I would love to give a huge shout out to my incredible clients exploring this new chapter in their life.

Ash has just started at Curtin University study a bachelor of science majoring in psychology. Ash is so driven to excel in all her academic areas. Her bubbly personality and huge heart makes her a great fit for the course she has chosen. Ash has also recently recieved the opportunity to work as a tutor while she studies. This is a huge achievement.

Seth has now started at SAE University College Aus studying a bachelor of Animation. Seth’s creativity and passion for his animated work will go a long way in the course he has chosen. Seth’s hard working nature and attention to detail will be amazing tools that he can use in relation to his work. (Hopefully we can see his name in the credits of big things to come).

I am so blessed to work with such amazing clients and their families and help facilitate in any way that I can to make their dreams a potential reality.

I am so proud of all of you and I know you will show the world how incredible you all are!

SAE University College Aus has published an amazing article about one of my brilliant clients Seth. It articulates the lengths neurodiverse students have to go to when transitioning from school to uni.

I was so glad to be a part of helping Seth enrol in university and be apart of the interview and publication of this amazing article!

My clients never stop amazing me!

After years of struggling with learning in a school environment, Seth Martin will pursue his passion for animation at SAE Perth in 2025.

There are many similarities behind ASD and ADHD and often they can combine themselves within an individual. It’s important to understand which signs are ASD traits and which are ADHD traits. In saying this both conditions are a spectrum disorder and I live by the saying I was once told “If you’ve met one person with ASD or ADHD you have only met one person with ASD/ADHD” people often categorise traits to these diagnosis but everyone I have worked with are different/Unique and amazing In their own way!

I love this illustration by a clinical counseller that I found on linked in and would to credit her.

This heartwarming video of Sir Paul McCartney offering a musical therapy session for children with ASD beautifully illustrates how taking a chance, even when uncertain, can lead to wonderful new opportunities, passions, and purposes in life. It’s truly touching to see how a simple act of kindness can make such a profound difference.
