Welcoming a new baby is a big journey, and we love supporting mums through those early days. Our Mums & Bubs Bags are filled with practical essentials, little comforts, and supportive resources to help you feel cared for as you care for your little one.

These bags are our way of saying: you’re doing an incredible job, and you deserve support that feels genuine and nurturing.

Next Group starting in LISMORE in JULY: Our Heartfelt House Healing Pathways program offers a safe, compassionate space for adult women healing from childhood sexual abuse. Through guided group sessions, creative expression, and gentle therapeutic support, participants are supported to reclaim their voice, rebuild self‑worth, and connect with others who truly understand.

Women often tell us this program is life‑changing, helping them feel seen, supported, and stronger than they ever thought possible.

If you or someone you know is ready to take a step toward healing, learn more about our Healing Pathways program or reach out to our team for a confidential chat.

Last week our Partnerships Co-ordinator, Maddi, attended the Lismore Indigenous Employment Connection Event, hosted by Workforce Australia.

The aim of the event was to motivate, encourage, and empower members of the local community through meaningful conversations and connections. By fostering these interactions, the event helps build confidence and readiness for employment, enabling Employment Service Providers to better support participants in securing suitable job opportunities.

WHNR shared information with both participants and Employment Service Providers on ways to support women engaging in employment and training.

It was a wonderful morning spent connecting with some of our incredible community members.

Services in attendance included TAFE NSW, Indigenous Allied Health Australia, Casino Food Co, ETC, ISS, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Verto, Tursa, Coles, Australian Apprenticeship Support Services and many more.

Our team is honouring National Reconciliation Week by creating space for reflection, truth‑telling, and meaningful conversation. This week invites us to deepen our understanding of the past and strengthen our commitment to a more just future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

At Women’s Health Northern Rivers, we’re inviting everyone who visits the centre to pause and reflect by filling in a circle using guided prompts such as:

• What reconciliation commitments have you already made, and what have you learned from them?
• How can these learnings challenge you to take the next step?
• How can your shared values and goals support reconciliation in the wider community?
• What will you commit to individually and collectively - to be All In for reconciliation every day?

These reflections help us move beyond symbolism and into action - listening deeply, learning continuously, and walking alongside First Nations communities with respect and accountability.
