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, connection to Country – and connection 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
Twelve advocates with lived experience of mental ill-health share how
meaningful connections have supported them in their mental health journeys
and how meaningful connections can support everyone.

Does your organisation want to join us to raise awareness for
World Mental Health Day and end stigma around mental health?
Every year, on 10th October, we come together to observe World Mental Health Day—a global movement to raise awareness and fight the stigma around mental health. This day emphasizes the importance of mental well-being and encourages us to prioritize our mental health, not just today but every day. 🌍
AIIMS hosts its biggest mental health festival on this day, bringing the community together to celebrate mental health awareness with activities, discussions, and outreach programs that highlight the importance of mental well-being.
Take this day to check in on loved ones, encourage open conversations, and remind yourself that it’s okay to ask for help when needed. Let’s normalize mental health discussions and be part of the movement to make the world a healthier, kinder place for all.

We all know how hectic life can get between managing business, family, and everything in between. But sometimes, a simple act of kindness can brighten someone’s day—and yours too! 💛

A small gesture can spark joy, strengthen connections, and remind us all that we’re not alone in this busy world. So, who’s on your mind today? ✨

To support our community as part of Mental Health Month, on behalf of Clinical EFT Connect I will be running six FREE weekly sessions at the Coffs Harbour Jetty teaching simple mind body techniques to help:
🐚 Reduce stress
💦Regulate the nervous system
👣Increase energy
In partnership with Lifeline North Coast and Amanda Bos - Food Freedom Coach “Tap, Talk and Barefoot Beach Walk” will be a fun, free way to learn some new self care tools.
Each week you will learn and practice:
🌿 The Daily Energy Routine - to boost energy.
🌼 Simple EFT Tapping techniques which you can take with you to use any time you feel stressed.
🌿 Connecting with and listening to your own body, whilst connecting with others at the same time.
🌼 Combined with the benefits of grounding your feet on the sand, and in the sea, being in nature.
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 can be done in therapy with a trained practitioner.
But it is also a great self-help tool which anyone can learn to help reduce stress and overwhelm.
Regular practice of EFT Tapping helps us build Emotional Resilience: enhancing our ability to handle daily stressors.
Join us if you want to feel empowered to help yourself feel better faster, and see how these simple practices can rejuvenate your mind and body.
Fridays 6am
October 11, 18, 25,
Nov 1, 8, 15.
Meet at the Jetty steps near coffee van.
Open to all.
Come for one week, or come every week.

Many messages about exercise are rooted in the misguided notion that we should engage in it “because of” — whether we’ve eaten too much, overindulged, or feel lazy. These messages are often tinged with guilt, shame, fear, and obligation, which can be detrimental to our well-being.
In contrast, when we embrace movement and exercise for the sheer “joy of it”, we open ourselves up to discovering how our bodies truly want to move. This approach helps us find what invigorates us and makes us feel alive.
Here are some reasons and benefits why I like to hula hoop that have nothing to do with burning calories or shrinking our bodies…
Physical Benefits:
🏃♀️ Boosts cardiovascular fitness
💪🏽 Challenges your core muscles
🦶 Improves your balance
🤸🏽♂️ Increases flexibility
🌟 Improves posture
🏋🏽♀️ Develops muscle tone
🌿 Strengthens spine and back muscles
🍄 Challenges and improves coordination
Emotional/mental benefits:
😮💨 Reduces stress and anxiety
🧘♀️ Can have mediative effects due to the hypnotic rhythm
🙂 Releases endorphins
🤸🏽♂️ Develops self-confidence and self-esteem
🏆 Provides a sense of achievement
🧠 Strengthens the cognitive function of your brain
🧐Enhances neuroplasticity
🔌Connects people together
🧘♀️Enhances focus
🤣 Promotes laughter

We were privileged to be involved in the Mental Health Matters video around reducing the stigma surrounding mental health in the workplace.
It was extra special to have my children, Senan and Nessa, and my niece Libby involved, too. Thanks to Barbara for asking us, and we can’t wait to see the success we know the campaign will be.
Through these videos, Mental Health Matters is encouraging us to normalise conversations about mental health and understand we all have a part to play in creating a positive change.
