Connection & Community 🤝

Life is better when we feel connected.

Getting out into the community can mean something different for everyone — catching up over coffee, shopping independently, joining an activity, attending appointments or simply getting back to doing something you enjoy.

Core Connect Supports can support NDIS participants to get out, stay connected and participate in their community their way.

💗 Your community. Your interests. Your choice.

Choice & Independence 💗

The right support should help you live YOUR life.

Choice. Independence. Connection.
These are things we all value.

Core Connect Supports works alongside people with disability to build supports around their goals, their choices and what matters to them.

If you or someone you support is looking for a Registered NDIS Provider, take a look at Core Connect Supports.

Today is R U OK?Day.

Over the past week, we've shared P.A.L.S — a framework that has been part of Hayden Butler Foundation since 2019.

Prepare. Ask. Listen. Support.

Because asking “R U OK?” is important, but we also need to be prepared for what someone might tell us.

You don't need to have all the answers. You don't need to fix everything.

Be present. Ask the question. Listen to the answer. And keep showing up.

A conversation may be the beginning of something that person really needed.

Support doesn't always have to be something big.

Sometimes it's checking in again tomorrow. Sending a message. Making a phone call. Sitting beside someone, or simply reminding them that you're still there.

When someone has trusted you enough to share what they're going through, don't assume one conversation is enough.

Ask what they need. Respect what they've shared. And keep checking in.
Sometimes support is simply continuing to show up.

Listening sounds simple, but sometimes it can be the hardest part.

When someone opens up to us, our natural reaction can be to offer advice, find a solution or try to make things better. Sometimes, that's not what they need.

Give them the space to talk. Don't rush to fill the silence or worry about finding the right answer.

Listen to what they're saying OR not saying. Give them your time and let them know they've been heard. You don't need to have all the answers.

Be present. Take the time. Listen. Really listen.

Sometimes we hesitate because we're worried we'll say the wrong thing.

But when you're genuinely concerned about someone, saying something can open the door to a conversation they may need.

Asking directly about su***de can feel confronting, but avoiding the word doesn't make the concern go away.

Be genuine. Be present. Ask directly.

R U OK?Day is coming up on 10 September.

In the lead up, I want to share something that has been part of Hayden Butler Foundation since 2019 — P.A.L.S.

We start with PREPARE.

Sometimes you notice something isn't quite right with someone. You may not know what it is, but you notice the change.

Before you ask the question, take a moment to prepare yourself for the conversation — and for what they may tell you.

Thank you, Roses in the Ocean, for the opportunity to partner with the Hayden Butler Foundation on this meaningful initiative.

It has been an honour to co-design a Su***de Prevention Awareness Workshop and accompanying workbook, developed through lived experience to support individuals, families and communities in recognising and responding to suicidal distress.

Thank you to SEMPHN for supporting this project, and to everyone who contributed their lived experience, knowledge and passion throughout the co-design process.

Real change begins with raw, authentic conversations. When we create safe spaces for people to share their stories with compassion, courage and cultural understanding, we strengthen hope, connection and our communities. 💙

A big shout out to Head Coach Duane Butler and Club President Alan Cowan from the Fremantle Roosters Rugby League Club for inviting the Hayden Butler Foundation to deliver our Su***de Prevention and Awareness Workshop.

Thank you Jozef for the photography and to all the players who attended. Your willingness to engage in important conversations around mental health is helping create stronger clubs, stronger communities and hope. 💙
