🌸 World Menopause Day – October 18 🌸

Did you know that tomorrow is World Menopause Day? It’s a time to raise awareness and support women experiencing the emotional and physical changes that come with menopause.

Menopause can bring shifts in mood, sleep, and self-image — but with the right understanding and support, it can also be a time of growth and empowerment.

🧠✨ OCD Awareness Week and OCD Groups at LCP✨🧠

Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a serious condition that affects 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children, yet it’s often misunderstood as simply being “overly neat” or “particular.”

In reality, OCD involves obsessions (unwanted, intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive behaviours or mental rituals performed to ease anxiety). It can impact anyone — of any age, background, or walk of life.

This week, we raise awareness, foster understanding, and help break the stigma around OCD.

Do you need support breaking free of spiraling obsessive thoughts and repetitive rituals?

Good news! We are excited to announce that we are running a 10-week Breaking Free from OCD group for adults at the start of November. If you are interested, contact our client relationship team today!

Today we feel privileged to be named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ in Healthcare & Social Assistance in 2025!

We are proud and excited to announce that we made the top 10 rankings for one of Australia’s Best Workplaces in Healthcare & Social Assistance this year!

What does that mean?

Great Place To Work® Certification™ is recognized worldwide by employees and employers alike and is the gold standard for identifying and recognizing outstanding employee experience and workplace culture.

What does this say about our culture?

Great Place To Work® Australia - ‘The 15 organisations recognized this year share common characteristics that set them apart from their peers. They have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to fostering cultures where employees feel supported to deliver care in high-pressure environments, and where their well-being is treated with the same priority as the communities they serve.’

‘These workplaces champion psychological safety, ensure clinical and frontline staff feel heard, and provide flexibility that recognizes the demands of shift work and caring responsibilities. They invest in professional development to grow the next generation of healthcare and social care leaders, and they build inclusive environments where every employee — from clinicians to support staff — knows their contribution matters.’

‘Whether a small community provider or a large national organisation, each has proven that putting people first strengthens both employee experience and the quality of care delivered to Communities.’

Today we are thankful to join this list and take pride in the culture we have built at Lawson Clinical Psychology where we focus on caring for our team, our clients and the community.

Behind the scenes professional development

Last week, three of our psychologists — Dr Kim Eaton, Dr Chloe Giffard, and Dr Patrick Clarke — attended a powerful lecture by Dr Jasmine Fardouly on the impact of social media on eating disorders. The stats were mind-blowing 🤯
Compared to controls, people with an ED saw:

🔹 146% more appearance-focused content

🔹 335% more dieting content

🔹 142% more exercise content

🔹 4343% more toxic ED content

This research highlights how strongly algorithms can amplify harmful content and worsen ED symptoms 💔

Hopefully this knowledge builds awareness so that we can be more conscious of what things may be impacting the mental health of ourselves and our loved ones!
