💚 CEO Sunday Self-Care Reflections 💚

🌱 Supporting Recovery, Together

Today, HelpingMinds CEO Debbie Childs met with Pierre Yang MLC, Parliamentary Secretary for Mental Health, to discuss the important role HelpingMinds and the WA Recovery College Alliance - WARCA play in supporting mental health recovery across Western Australia.

At HelpingMinds, we are committed to walking alongside families, carers, and young people impacted by mental health challenges. Together with WARCA, we provide hope, education, and empowerment that makes recovery not only possible but sustainable.

We are grateful for the ongoing support from the WA Government in ensuring Recovery Colleges remain accessible to those who need them most. The impact is clear, people and families find connection, strength, and resilience through this model.

A huge thank you to our passionate teams, supporters, and partners who help us build a more compassionate and recovery-focused mental health system for WA. 💚

Recently we were reminded just how generous our community can be.

This HelpingMinds x Perth Thunder Jersey was originally won in a fundraiser auction last year - and the incredible lady who won it has now gifted it back to us.

It’s a piece of community history that reminds us how powerful partnerships can be when sport and mental health come together 🏒💚

As a result we’ve decided we’re going to frame and hang it at HelpingMinds HQ as a conversation starter and reminder of the partnership and our generous community.

Every day, carers give so much of themselves to support the ones they love.

Often it’s the quiet, unseen moments that mean the most — the care, the patience, the endless love.

This Carers Week, HelpingMinds encourages you to pause and take a moment for yourself.
Because your wellbeing matters too.
