🧠 Meet Buddy the Brain! 💚💜

Say hello to Buddy — Our newest (and cutest!) Young Minds mascot and therapy assistant! 👋

Buddy The Brain is here to help remind our clients that their brain isn’t something to fight against… it’s something to work with 🤝

Through our sessions, strategies, and little everyday moments, Buddy helps clients of all ages explore positive thinking, growth mindset, and understanding their emotions in a fun and friendly way! 🥰

When we start to see our brain as a friend, everything can feel a little more manageable 💛

👀 You might even spot Buddy popping up around our clinic… Keep an eye out!

🎉 This month's TEAM MILESTONE challenge was a bit of a tricky one! 😱

We asked two of our clinicians - Sarah & Hayley - to give us ONE WORD to describe the last 12 months with Young Minds, as we celebrate their ONE YEAR work anniversary! 🥳 Time flies when you’re making a difference ✨

Over the past year, Sarah & Hayley have supported so many children, teens, and families with warmth, compassion, and genuine care. Everyday they are helping our community feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way! 🥰

We’re so lucky to have you both on the team. Thank you for everything you bring to Young Minds! 💜💚

Disagreements are part of life… but they don’t have to turn into damage.

Whether it’s with friends, partners, teens, or family members, knowing how to disagree in a healthy way is a skill that can strengthen relationships (not strain them).

Inside, we explore:
😡 Why conflict isn’t the problem — how we handle it is
🧠 What happens in the brain during disagreements
💜 Simple tools to communicate without escalating
🤝 Ways to repair and reconnect after conflict

Because it’s not about avoiding conflict — it’s about learning how to move through it safely and respectfully!

💚 Team Milestones Time! 🎉

This month, we asked the question - What have you learned through your work with Young Minds. Our amazing OT and Clinical Lead, Karlee Wiles (who has now been with us for 6 YEARS!) had this to say:

"WOW - I can't believe it's been 6 years. The biggest thing I have learned - How vital a multidisciplinary approach is in ensuring holistic support for clients. I have found working with psychologists, social workers, speech pathologists and of course other OTs, an invaluable experience - I have learned a lot from the team at YMs!" - Karlee 💜

Karlee works with caregivers, children, and adolescents, adopting a family centred, and evidence-based approach. She focuses on clients’ strengths and interests to maximise their participation and independence in everyday activities. We love having you on our team Karlee! 💚 💜

Group therapy isn’t a “replacement” for individual sessions... it’s a powerful addition 💜💚

It gives kids the chance to practise social, emotional, and communication skills in a safe, supported environment with other kids who get it! 🤝

If your child is working on confidence, friendships, anxiety, or emotional regulation - Our evidence-based group programs can make those skills stick! ✨
