Each Friday we’re highlighting one of our 7 tips for a healthy headspace 🧠💚 to help you be your BEST SELF in 2026 🌟

Putting time into your relationships can help you feel connected, boost your energy and, ultimately, help you keep a healthy headspace.

we know relationships aren’t always easy. Starting new relationships can often be scary. And if you’re experiencing mental health difficulties you may feel like disconnecting from people, rather than reaching out.

But here’s the thing – the more you work on your relationships, the stronger they get.

Strong relationships can give you support when you need it and provide a sense of belonging and community. And when you spend time connecting with and supporting others, your wellbeing can improve too!

thanks so much to Calrossy Tamworth for supporting headspace! Their donation of instruments will go straight into our music room, available for young people to use during sessions. We're so grateful for the support of our community!

As part of the Calrossy Year of Service, as a school we have proudly supported the work of Headspace Tamworth, a local organisation providing vital mental health and wellbeing services to young people aged 12–25 across our community.

Headspace Tamworth offers free, early-intervention support in a safe and welcoming environment, including mental health and counselling services, physical and sexual health support, alcohol and other drug services, and assistance with work and study. Their programs are designed to help young people feel connected, supported, and empowered.

This week we handed over some musical instruments to the organisation. The donation of keyboards and guitars will support program delivery to enable young people accessing headspace Tamworth to explore their creativity, express themselves through music, and build confidence as part of their wellbeing journey.

This exciting partnership has provided students with valuable insight into the importance of youth mental health, and the role community organisations play in early support and prevention. It has also reinforced the power of service, empathy and meaningful contribution.

The Calrossy Year of Service continues to be a powerful reminder that small actions can create lasting impact. We are proud of our students for their commitment to supporting headspace Tamworth and helping to create positive opportunities for young people in our local community.

Today is Safer Internet Day, a global day of action that raises awareness about online safety and encourages safer digital experiences for everyone.
Sadistic Online Exploitation (SOE) is a serious form of online abuse where someone deliberately manipulates, humiliates or coerces others for their own gratification or status.
SOE can start with someone pretending to be a friend or love interest, then slowly applying pressure or threats. It can involve sharing explicit content, encouraging self-harm, threats, or humiliation.
If you are concerned that a young person you know is being targeted for SOE it is important to take action.
You can report SOE to the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation or to your local state/territory police: https://loom.ly/s0w7hE8
You can learn more about how to navigate SOE here: https://loom.ly/Tju7kVA

😍headspace Tamworth Good news Story!!!!😍

A young person began working with an IPS Vocational Specialist at headspace Tamworth in March 2025 🌱At the time, she was experiencing significant anxiety and depression, had a Level 2 autism diagnosis, lacked confidence and self-esteem, and was completing her schooling from home. Her goal was to obtain a casual retail role in a position that did not require frontline customer interaction.
With person-centred support from her Vocational Specialist 🤝, she built confidence and completed key foundations including a TFN, USI, Service NSW registration, and learner driver test prep 📝🚗. Together they applied for casual retail positions, and once trust was established, IPS Vocational Specialist accompanied her into the community to hand out résumés.

Through gradual exposure and in-community support 🧠✨, she gained the confidence to approach employers independently, secured an interview 💬, and was offered a casual retail role 🛍️👏. When she needed to wait until turning 16, she managed the setback calmly with ongoing support 💛 and commenced employment once eligible 🎉.

She is now thriving at work 🌟, confidently completing tasks she once believed she couldn’t. Her family report she is happier, more engaged, and proud of her progress 🏡💬 — highlighting the powerful impact of consistent, person-centred support delivered at a young person’s pace 💚
If you, or a young person you know, would like support with work or study, give headspace Tamworth a call - 02 6762 9290
