💜 It’s Women’s Health Week (1–7 September)!

This week shines a spotlight on the importance of women prioritising their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Too often, women put themselves last, but your health matters.

We’ve put together 5 small but powerful ways to look after yourself, because self-care is not selfish, it’s essential. 🌸

✨ Which one speaks to you the most? Tell us in the comments ⬇️

At 4 Reasons Disability Services, we’re proud to support women in our community to feel strong, healthy, and empowered.

🌟 Changing lives. Shaping the future. 🌟

We’re beyond proud to share that our Director, Melissa, has been nominated for the Most Visionary Leader Award at the 2025 Australian Disability Service Awards.

Melissa’s leadership has always been about more than just running a service. It’s about breaking barriers, driving inclusion, and creating real impact for people with disability and their communities.

This nomination is recognition of Mel’s unwavering commitment to human rights, innovation, and the values that define 4 Reasons Disability Services. 🦋💜🧡💙💚

This journey began with the inspiration of her four children, and it continues today thanks to our incredible staff, who make the heart of 4 Reasons Disability Services beat stronger every day.

“What pulled me out of loneliness wasn’t one big moment. It was small things, like someone checking in. Like feeling seen.”

“I thought I’d always feel this alone. But I didn’t.”
-

Loneliness doesn’t just “go away.”
But connection can grow, even slowly, with the right kind of support.

💛 For some of the people we support at 4 Reasons, it started with:
• One worker showing up and actually listening
• A shared meal, not eaten alone
• Being asked, “Want to come with me?”

This , we want to remind you:
Support can be the bridge between isolation and connection.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected you’re not alone, and you’re not invisible.

We’re here when you’re ready.

Loneliness isn’t just feeling sad, it can deeply impact our mental health and even become a barrier to recovery for those living with psychosocial disabilities.

This week is Loneliness Awareness Week (4–10 August). A chance to break the silence around isolation and start real conversations about connection.
Loneliness affects 1 in 3 Australians and is closely linked to depression, anxiety, and psychosocial disability. But support, understanding, and community can make all the difference.

Over the coming days, we’ll share tips and resources to help you (or someone you care about) feel less alone and more connected.

Follow along, share your thoughts, or tag someone who might need to see this reminder: You are not alone.

🧠 Ever heard the term psychosocial disability and wondered what it means?

It refers to the impact mental health conditions can have on a person’s ability to participate fully in daily life. It can affect emotions, relationships, and connection to community.

At 4 Reasons, we walk alongside our participants with compassion, understanding, and person-led support. Because recovery is possible, and you deserve to thrive, not just survive. 💛

🌈 We’re switching up our wings for Pride Month 🦋

You may notice something different about our butterfly this June — we’ve added a splash of rainbow to honour Pride Month and show our unwavering support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
At 4 Reasons Disability Services, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We believe everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported — exactly as they are.

This rainbow isn’t just for show — it’s a symbol of our commitment to creating safe, affirming spaces for people of all identities and abilities.

🏳️‍🌈 Because freedom begins when you stop hiding.
Let’s continue to celebrate and advocate, together.

🧠💛 Understanding Emotional Regulation

Emotional regulation is more than just “staying calm.” It’s about learning how to recognise, manage, and respond to big feelings in safe and healthy ways — especially for people living with psychosocial disability.

From deep breathing to sensory tools, everyone has their own way of grounding and getting through tough moments.

This week, we asked one of our amazing support workers, Kirsten, to share what they do to stay grounded — because real-life strategies make all the difference. 🌿

✨ What helps YOU feel grounded? Share below — your tip might help someone else.
