Today we're wearing purple for LGBTIQA+ young people.

This year's Wear It Purple Day theme, Colours of Courage, celebrates the many ways courage shows up every day. It's the courage to speak up, stand out and create change. It's also found in quieter moments: living authentically, asking for support, standing beside someone, coming out, or choosing pride and hope when being yourself doesn't always feel easy.

At Richmind WA, we believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and able to be themselves. We are committed to creating inclusive and affirming environments where people feel heard, valued and supported, and where diversity is celebrated. Over the next few days, our services are coming together in support of LGBTIQA+ young people and to celebrate the diversity, strength and resilience they bring to our communities.

It takes courage to be yourself. We see that courage every day in people showing up authentically, supporting one another and helping create spaces where everyone feels they belong.

Happy Wear It Purple Day. 💜

It's International Youth Day 2026, this year's theme, Different Contexts, Common Aspirations, reflects something we see every day at Richmind WA.

Every young person's story is different, but many want the same things: a safe place to belong, meaningful connections, opportunities to grow, and hope for the future.

Through services such as Momentum Queens Park, we've seen the difference that early support can make. We've seen young people rebuild confidence, reconnect with community, find stability and take positive steps towards the life they want.

Today is a reminder that young people don't just need to be heard. They need services, systems and communities that listen.

On International Youth Day, we acknowledge the courage, resilience and potential of young people across Western Australia and reaffirm our commitment to walking alongside them.

For Melissa, promoting belonging is more than a Richmind WA value - it's something she brings to work every day.

For the past decade, Melissa has been a valued member of the team at Bassendean Individualised Support, walking alongside residents as they work towards their goals and supporting them to achieve things they once thought were impossible.

From championing inclusion through her leadership in cultural awareness and LGBTIQA+ initiatives to cheering residents across the finish line at the HBF Run for a Reason, Melissa has spent 10 years helping people build confidence, connection and a sense of belonging.

When asked what has kept her at Richmind WA for 10 years, Melissa says: "Everybody is included. We walk the walk and talk the talk - walk together and work together. It's an amazing group of people who do amazing work."

Her story is a reminder that meaningful work, genuine inclusion and a shared sense of purpose help make Richmind WA a great place for great people.

Congratulations Melissa, and thank you for 10 years of dedication, compassion and support.

During NAIDOC Week, we were proud to celebrate the impact of our Moorditj Djerpin Wirrin short-term Indigenous Mental Health Programs alongside Elders, participants, partners, special guests and funders.

The programs brought people together through storytelling, art, cultural learning and time spent on Country, creating opportunities for connection and wellbeing.

Thank you to In Culture Tours, Lesley Murray, Indigenous Consulting Group - ICG, Red Dust Healing and WA Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA) for making these programs possible, and to all participants for sharing their journey with us.

For Naomi, putting people first is more than a Richmind WA value – it’s something she lives every day.

For the past decade, Naomi has been a valued member of the team at Ngulla Mia, helping create a welcoming and supportive environment through her work as Kitchenhand and, at times, stepping up to run the entire kitchen.

Supporting residents, working alongside colleagues and being there for her family are all equally important to her.

When asked what has kept her at Richmind WA for 10 years, Naomi says: "I like my job. I have a brilliant manager in Reece and... who doesn't love a 4-hour shift!"

Her story is a reminder that meaningful work, supportive leadership and flexibility help make Richmind WA a great place for great people.

Congratulations Naomi, and thank you for 10 years of dedication and care.

Art has the power to help us pause, reflect and reconnect, with ourselves, with each other and with the world around us.

Richmind WA was honoured to attend the opening of Precipice tonight, a powerful new exhibition by our Artist in Residence, David Giles, at Atwell Gallery.

Through Precipice, David invites us to reconnect with our sense of wonder, our inner selves and the natural world. These themes resonate deeply with Richmind WA’s belief that connection is fundamental to mental wellbeing and recovery.

The evening was further enriched by a moving statement from Aboriginal artist Lesley Murray, whose words reflected on the importance of Country, belonging and our shared responsibility to care for ourselves, each other and the environment. Her message beautifully reinforced the exhibition’s themes of connection, identity and wellbeing.

We are incredibly grateful that David is donating 40% of every artwork sold throughout the exhibition to Richmind WA. This generous contribution will directly support our work helping Western Australians build stronger connections, improve mental wellbeing and access the support they need.

If you’d like to experience Precipice, the exhibition is open at Atwell Gallery until Sunday 19 July, from 10.00am to 4.00pm daily.

Thank you, David, for sharing your creativity so generously and for supporting Richmind WA’s vision of a mentally healthy and connected community.

As we celebrate NAIDOC Week, we're proud to share a glimpse of the Koort Wirrin Exhibition, showcasing artworks created through the Moorditj Djerpin Wirrin and HeART & Soul programs.

Led by Aboriginal artist Lesley Murray, the exhibition highlights the creativity, stories and strengths of participants while recognising this year's NAIDOC Week theme, '50 Years of Deadly'.

Many of the artworks have already been sold, but there are still unique pieces available to purchase. Every artwork tells its own story, and purchasing a piece helps support these emerging artists while creating opportunities to further develop and share their creative talents.

Before the exhibition closes this Friday, we invite you to visit, experience these powerful works firsthand, and support the artists behind them. The exhibition is open daily from 10am–4pm at 29 Manning Road, Cannington.

Take a seat. Share a story. Create connection. 💛

This week, we sat down for the very first Stories from the Bench conversation.

'Stories from the Bench 'is part of our Yellow Bench initiative, inviting people from across Western Australia to take a seat and share the experiences, lessons, hopes and moments that have shaped their lives.

Some stories will explore mental health, grief and recovery. Others will celebrate friendship, resilience, community, family and belonging. Together, these conversations remind us that connection often begins with simply listening.

We're excited to share a short preview from Leanne's story.

💛 Do you have a story that could encourage, inspire, comfort or connect with others?

We'd love to hear from you. Let us know in the comments or visit our website to learn more about the Yellow Bench project and how to get involved: https://bit.ly/4eszax0

A special thank you to ABC Perth and Geraldine Mellet for helping us spread the word about Stories from the Bench on the ABC Drive Show this week.
