It's Jessie's birthday! 🐾🎂

Our beautiful therapy dog Jessie turned 6 and we couldn't let the day pass without celebrating her.

Jessie is a regular visitor to our hospital, and her impact goes far beyond her wagging tail and cuddles. She brings comfort, reduces anxiety and helps to create a sense of connection for our patients, their families and our staff.

A big thank you to Jessie's wonderful owner for sharing Jessie with us and for the ongoing commitment that makes these visits possible.

Happy 6th birthday Jessie! You make a difference 💛

Did you know that adults with ADHD often experience difficulties with time management, organisation and focus, even when symptoms are less obvious. Combining medication with psychoeducation can help build practical strategies to thrive every day, making it an essential part of your ADHD management toolkit.

Why psychoeducation matters:

▪️ Helps you to understand how ADHD affects behaviour, emotions, and thinking
▪️ Increases self-awareness and helps you to recognise personal triggers
▪️ You learn practical coping strategies, including time management, organisation and mindfulness
▪️ Boosts your confidence and self-esteem by viewing ADHD as a neurological condition, not a personal failure.

Our ADHD Day Program for adults provides psychoeducation to give a holistic, patient-centred approach to thrive personally and professionally.

Erin shares her journey from nursing to leading trauma‑informed services and the simple, people‑centred values that guide her every day.

Together they talk about creating supportive teams, building cultures that celebrate diversity and helping more women step into leadership roles.

When is it time to consider an in‑hospital mental health stay?

Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Sometimes the safest and most effective care happens in a hospital setting, where you can receive 24/7 support, a structured environment and access to specialist care.

Here are some signs it may be time to consider an in‑hospital stay for mental health:

▪Your symptoms feel overwhelming: Intense anxiety, panic, intrusive thoughts, severe mood swings or emotional distress that you can’t manage at home are important signals.
▪Your daily functioning has changed: If eating, sleeping, working or completing everyday tasks has become unmanageable, more intensive support may be needed.
▪Your treatment needs more support: Sometimes medication adjustments, withdrawal management or rapid changes in symptoms require close observation that can’t be done at home.
▪You feel out of control or disconnected: Experiences like delusions, hallucinations or dissociation can feel frightening and hospital care can help you stay grounded and safe.

If you or someone you care about is struggling, reaching out can be an important first step toward feeling better.

Let us help you 💛

We’re shining a light on Karen, whose path into mental health nursing is as inspiring as the work she does every day.

Karen started out as a psychologist, but nursing and then mental health nursing became the perfect way to bring together her skills and passions. Her curiosity about how the wider health system works led her into roles and projects where she could help shape programs, support colleagues and contribute to meaningful change.

Karen has long held a special commitment to veterans, defence members and first responders, shaped by her early work supporting police officers after critical incidents, as well as her family’s strong ties to military service.

Karen’s journey shows what happens when passion and purpose come together.

Today we proudly recognise and thank our mental health nurses for the extraordinary work they do every day.

On this Mental Health Nurses Day, we acknowledge the skill, compassion and clinical expertise our nurses bring during what are some of the most complex and vulnerable moments in a person's life. Their impact extends far beyond our hospital.

We are proud of the work you do and the difference you make in our community 💙

Mental health support isn’t a one‑size‑fits‑all. For some people, the right level of care sits somewhere between occasional appointments and a hospital stay. That’s where mental health day programs play an essential role.

Day programs offer structured, therapeutic support while allowing people to stay connected to their daily lives, families and communities. They can help you:

▪Transition smoothly after an in hospital stay
▪Access extra support between GP or clinician appointments
▪Receive the right level of care without needing hospital admission

If you’re seeking flexible, community‑based support, our day programs can play an important role in your recovery journey.
