10 October is World Mental Health Day
When it comes to mental health, meaningful connections matter.
Connections with loved ones, connections with community, connections with colleagues,
connections to supports and services, connections to Country – and connections to yourself.
For World Mental Health Day this year we are celebrating our meaningful connections
and raising awareness about how connections to supports and services,
and raising awareness about how connections can help us achieve good mental health.
Be part of the conversation and join our Meaningful Connections Matter Campaign.

Meaningful connections matter to us

meaningful connections have supported them in their mental health journeys
and how meaningful connections can support everyone.

Today was the final wrap of Tap, Talk and Barefoot Beach Walk 👣 Over the past 6 weeks the group has learnt how to use tapping for sleep difficulties, anxiety, overwhelm, upset, stress, and worry. We discovered techniques to re-train our mind body systems out of fight / flight / freeze state and towards more regulation in the nervous system.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) also known as “Tapping” is an evidence-based stress reduction tool, which reduces stress hormones such as cortisol and helps us reduce negative thoughts, feelings and sensations. It is a powerful technique that works quickly to shift outdated emotional patterns and limiting beliefs. By tapping on key acupressure points, you can rewire old emotional learnings and step into a more empowered mindset. It is fast, effective, and transformative.
This free community event was proudly brought to you by and in partnership with clinicaleftconnect, lifelinenorthcoast, food_freedom_coach

Take the time to talk 💬
Talking about our day-to-day lives and how we’re feeling can help us handle life’s ups and downs. This goes for family and friends, but it’s just as important with colleagues too.
Why not take 5 minutes today to check in with those around you? A simple `How are you?` could make all the difference.
🗨️ Don’t just ask once - ask twice. Asking a second time shows you’re genuinely interested and can encourage people to open up.
If you feel a colleague might need further support, encourage them to reach out to their employer, GP, or Samaritans.

Recently we marked World Mental Health Day alongside our partners from tiacs_ , but the conversation around mental health continues every day 🤝💙
Our rural communities—friends, family, and teammates—are at the core of everything we do. Nearly half of Australian farmers have felt depressed, with 1 in 7 experiencing it often, according to the nationalfarmers Let’s keep checking in on one another, not just on special days, but always.

We’re thrilled to share that Year 8 student Isaac received an incredible surprise from none other than Harry Kane, captain of the England national football team! ⚽🎉
Isaac was nominated by havenhousech for his amazing volunteer work and dedication. During a PE after-school club, Mr. Hawkins connected Isaac via video call to a very surprised and speechless Isaac! Not only did he get to chat with Harry, but he was also invited to watch the England vs Greece game from Harry Kane’s box! 🙌
This unforgettable moment took place on World Mental Health Day, a cause close to Harry’s heart. Huge thanks to Haven House, harrykane and the Harry Kane Foundation for making this experience possible! 💙
