Think saving only counts if it's a big amount? 💚

Not true. If you've got $2, $5 or $10 to put aside, that still counts.

Saving doesn't have to be huge. It just has to be realistic for you. Small steps are still steps. 🪙

Our Youth Ambassador Group planned a headspace Day BBQ for headspace Day .

Then Giant Jenga got involved.

Then the clothing swap started doing its thing.

And suddenly half the park was having a yarn 😂💚

Such a fun afternoon at Jingili Water Gardens with young people, community members and local organisations all hanging out, painting, chatting and getting involved.

Huge thanks to CDC Northern Territory, Youthworx, NTAHC and Anglicare NT for being part of it.

The best part? Seeing people who may not have known each other at the start sharing a game, a laugh or a conversation by the end.

Bisexual Awareness Week 💗💜💙

This week is about celebrating bisexual people, their stories and all the different ways bisexuality can look.

There is no single way to be bi, and no one needs to prove or explain their identity to anyone else.

At headspace Darwin and headspace Palmerston, everyone is welcome. Whether you feel confident in who you are, are still figuring things out, or simply have a few questions, there is space for you here.

here's some information that you can read about - https://www.rfr.bz/f9137c436

Sometimes you know you should check in with someone… but then your brain goes:

“Okay cool… what do I actually say?”

Good news: it doesn’t have to be deep, perfect or super serious.

You could just try:

“You good?”
“How’ve you actually been?”
“You seem a bit off lately, what’s up?”
“You seem a bit cooked lately, you okay?”
“How’s life treating ya?”
“Wanna yarn?”

The actual words don’t matter as much as making space for the answer.

Pick a time when you’re not both rushing somewhere, put the phone down for a sec, and give them a chance to talk if they want to.

And also… you definitely don’t need to wait for R U OK? Day to ask.

If someone’s been on your mind, check in.

A small “you good?” can sometimes open up a pretty important conversation. 💛

This Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we’re thinking about "the stories we’re sold" about health, bodies and what “wellbeing” is supposed to look like.

Because sometimes the messages we see every day can start to feel like facts.

A little reminder: wellbeing doesn’t have one look, and you don’t have to wait until things feel really serious before talking to someone.

If thoughts about your body, food or appearance are taking up a lot of space, support is available.
