Hi, I’m Caitlin! I’m the receptionist at headspace Manjimup and the first face to welcome you into our new centre!🌳 I moved to Manji about 4 and a half years ago from Coral Bay and I’m still getting used to such cold winters!

I’m passionate about helping people and I’m really looking forward to welcoming the community through our doors. I’m also passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and wellbeing. When you ask for a shoulder to cry on or a hand to help you get back up, life can be a little easier and problems can feel a lot more manageable. There is no shame in asking for what you need! 🌟

• I really hope to bring a sense of whimsy to our team! 🧚🏻‍♀️ I’ve had a lot of fun preparing for my role and one of the first things I did was knit a little reception mascot, their name is Ryan Duckling!
• A must have for maintaining my mental wellbeing is time out in my garden and time to craft (I love to crochet and knit) 🧶
• Something that most people may not know about me is that I have shaved all of my hair off twice! Once for the Worlds Greatest Shave and the second time was just for fun
• If I’m not at work you could find me gardening, camping or playing stardew valley
• My go to song at the moment is Eucalyptus by Peach PRC
• 3 words I’d use to describe myself are caring, warm and sparkly 💓🧸✨

👋 Get to Know Our Team – Meet Steph

Hi I’m Steph and I’ve lived in the South West for about 15 years.

I’m really looking forward to working in partnership with young people and their families. As the parent of a teenager myself I have seen some of the challenges young people face. I also have empathy for families juggling multiple commitments and understand that involving families wherever possible achieves better and more sustained outcomes.

A little bit about me. I love this area – the trees, the birdlife (especially the Blacktail Cockatoos) and the unhurried nature of locals, who always seem to make time for each other to catch up or have a laugh. I love a whole range of music but am often mocked for my love for 1970’s disco music. I work a lot in our garden, which gives me much needed ‘headspace’. I also make an effort to keep in touch with my friends who know me well and often make me laugh, which is important in life. There is a saying that “joy is not in things, it is in us” and I think it’s true.

I am motivated to tackle any stigma that prevents people getting help - although it might be tempting to “tough it out alone”, we all need help and support at various times of our lives. I want to offer support when it’s needed and to help strengthen our community, so that we can all enjoy good mental health.

Now you know a little about me, I hope to meet you and learn a little about you.

Please feel free to drop in to our centre to find your own ‘headspace’.

👋 Get to Know Our Team – Meet Paul

Hi, I’m Paul, Clinical Lead at headspace Manjimup 👋
I’m really excited to be working in Manjimup and to have the opportunity to deliver a quality service for community members who need it. I’m particularly passionate about providing strong mental health support in regional and rural areas.

This is my first time living and working in the Warren Blackwood region, and I’ve recently moved to Manjimup. What drew me to headspace was the chance to help establish a new mental health service in a rural community, delivered by a well-known organisation that supports communities across Australia.

In my role, I’m most looking forward to delivering quality clinical services and seeing headspace Manjimup develop and grow over the years ahead. Mental health is a complex and challenging practice area, and seeing young people reach their goals and become the best version of themselves is what motivates me to keep doing this work.

Day to day, I’m driven by supporting young people who have experienced complex trauma. No one should have to carry those experiences on their own. Building strong relationships, helping people feel comfortable to engage, and providing safe, supportive service delivery are really important to the way I practice.

Outside of work, I’m hoping to connect with the local community by getting involved in community groups, particularly sporting and service groups. When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me spending time with my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

A few quick extras: 🧠 Wellbeing must-have: keeping a healthy work/life balance
💙 What I bring to the team: experience
😂 What makes me laugh: good company
🎵 Current go-to song: “All Around Cowboy” – Marty Robbins
🦅 Fun fact: lifelong West Coast Eagles supporter (even during a rebuild!)

I’m really looking forward to being part of the Manjimup community and working alongside the team as headspace Manjimup grows.

Last week we were proud to support BYA at the annual YARN event at Manjimup Senior High School!

Year 9 students from across the region came together to take part in interactive group workshops, exploring this year’s important theme of Positive Body Image. It was fantastic to connect with so many young people, hear their perspectives and be part of such meaningful conversations.

Our Community Engagement Officer, Andrew, alongside BYA, delivered a great presentation linking football and sport with mental health and positive body image. A meaningful way to connect with young people and get the conversation started.

While we were there, we also gathered valuable feedback from students on the look and feel of our new centre, from front window designs to furniture choices and colours. Their ideas are helping us create a space that truly reflects what young people want and need in Manjimup!

A big thank you to our partners, BYA and everyone else involved, for bringing together such a fun and inspiring day!

👋 Get to know me!
I’m so excited to be working in Manji because it gives me the chance to really get to know the young people down here and do some great things together. I’ve lived in the area for about two years now, and I’ve been working in Manjimup since making the move from Meekatharra.

I chose to work at headspace because the role aligns so strongly with what I’m passionate about. For me, it’s all about supporting young people and being part of something meaningful. I’m really keen to connect with the community by listening and learning — I want to hear what young people and the community need and what they’d like to see from me in this role. Since this is a brand new role in the region, I’m looking forward to learning, growing, and shaping it as I go.
What motivates me most is seeing young people achieve their goals and do better for themselves. I hope to bring a positive, flexible approach to the team and support everyone as much as I can.

Outside of work, my must-have for wellbeing is spending time with family and friends. 😅 A good joke will always make me laugh, and if I’m not at work you’ll probably find me out on the golf course. I listen to all kinds of music, and my go-to podcast at the moment is The Swing of It 🎧⛳
