Attachment and connection is so important when your children are growing their brains. Hear them, see them, be with them and play - not your rules - follow their lead.
Thank you Peaceful Parent for this reminder.

Neuroscience is helping us learn more and more about the development of our brains....
Think about that - our brains are learning more about our brains.
Thank you Contented Child for sharing.

Thank you Charlie Mackesy - especially during our Brain Awareness week 🙏.
It's important to be aware of our thoughts - not to overanalyse them, but to vet them. Not every thought is your truth, and not every thought needs to be picked up. Sometimes letting them be and focusing on your strengths is much more useful. Keep going.

Wonderful work TradeMutt. Our clients have noticed we wear your shirts!!

8 years ago my best mate and I thought, f*ck this. Something needs to change.

We had no real idea what we were doing. Just a belief that we could make a dent in the mental health crisis facing Blue Collar Australia.

That afternoon in 2018, we wore our first samples down to Newstead Brewery.

Since then, there’s been countless conversations started…
…and thousands of free counselling sessions delivered.

Today, we’re lucky enough to be part of something bigger than we ever imagined.

Two organisations, TradeMutt and TIACS creating real, measurable change.

Here’s what that looks like:
82% of TradeMutt customers say people are more confident to talk about mental health
67% have referred someone to TIACS
97% are now prioritising their own mental health and wellbeing
75% of TIACS clients are blokes
84% are first-time help seekers

Let that sink in. This isn’t just awareness. This is behaviour change. And none of it happens without you.

Every person who’s worn a shirt, started a conversation, or backed what we’re building, you’ve helped make this real.

So thank you.

Happy Funky Shirt Friday. Here’s to the next 8 years.

We’re only just getting started.

🧠 Brain Awareness Week 2026 is a global campaign celebrating the amazing organ that helps us think, feel, learn, and connect with others.
This week is all about raising awareness of brain health, development, and the science behind how our minds work.
It’s a great reminder that our brains are constantly growing and changing—especially in childhood and adolescence—and that looking after our mental wellbeing is just as important as looking after our physical health.
Simple things like sleep, movement, connection, learning new skills, and managing stress, all play an important role in keeping our brains healthy.
Let’s take a moment this week to get curious about the brain, celebrate how incredible it is, and continue supporting growing minds and healthy wellbeing across all ages. 🧠✨

Friendly reminder that Minding Family clinic won't be open tomorrow, Friday 6th March due to another scheduled Ergon shutdown.
Thank you for your patience. We assume they must be doing upgrades due to the amount of building hapoening on Thuringowa Dr currently.

Shifting your filter to also notice the wonder in life will also help to balance your stress levels and anxiety. Be curious.
