Did you know? Laughing triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. It also reduces stress hormones and boosts immune cells. Even just anticipating laughter can have a positive effect on your mood and health.

So yes, your favourite funny video or inside joke really is doing something good for your brain and body.

Did you know that info dumping, parallel play and penguin pebbling are all forms of autistic love languages? In Part 2 of Tharon’s series on communication differences between neurotypical and autistic individuals, we explore how love is expressed in ways that are authentic, meaningful, and often misunderstood.

Whether you’re a parent, support worker, or simply someone wanting to better understand the neurodivergent people in your life, this is a must-read. Let’s celebrate neurodiversity by learning how different brains show love, connection, and care.

Taking just 60 seconds to focus on your breathing can lower stress, slow your heart rate, and bring your nervous system back into balance. It’s one of the simplest self-regulation strategies, and it’s always with you.

Next time you feel overwhelmed, pause. Inhale deeply for 4… hold for 4… exhale for 6. Repeat twice. Notice the shift.

You may not have heard of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), but for those diagnosed, it's a serious chronic autoimmune condition that affects organs like the kidneys, lungs and skin. Our latest post on the Disability Awareness Hub breaks down the symptoms, treatment and support available for people living with AAV.

Raising awareness around rare conditions like AAV can lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes. Whether you're a carer, community worker or just curious to learn, this is one to bookmark and share.

To find out more about AAV read our blog here https://www.helpz.com.au/disability-awareness-hub-anca-associated-vasculitis

The earlier we intervene, the better the outcomes. That’s the message behind our latest video on early behaviour support and allied health for kids with developmental disability or delay. From emotional regulation to school readiness, starting early builds a foundation for lifelong growth.

Watch the video and read our full article to see how early intervention works — and why families, educators and support coordinators play such a key role in helping children thrive.

Even in winter, getting a bit of sunshine can make a big difference. Sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D, which supports your immune system and can boost your mood, something we all need when the days are shorter.

Try to spend 10–15 minutes outdoors each day, even if it’s chilly, just don’t forget sun safety. UV rays can still be harmful in winter, especially in places with reflective surfaces like water, snow, or light pavement.

Ever wondered why your morning coffee gives you that kickstart?

It’s all about brain chemistry. Caffeine blocks adenosine, the neurotransmitter responsible for making you feel sleepy. When adenosine is blocked, those calming signals are silenced, and your brain stays more alert.

So next time you're feeling extra switched on after a cuppa, thank your temporarily confused adenosine receptors!

Trauma-informed care isn’t optional — it’s essential 💛

Did you know people with disabilities are at higher risk of experiencing trauma due to abuse, exclusion, and systemic discrimination?

That’s why trauma-informed care matters. It’s about creating safe, supportive environments where people feel heard, respected and empowered.

In our latest blog, we explore the six key principles of trauma-informed care and share how your service can assess and strengthen its approach.

It’s time to do more than just care. It’s time to care the right way.
