Last week, we joined the Semester 2 Welcome Events at TAFE Wauchope and TAFE Port Macquarie!

We loved chatting with young people and reminding them that if they're ever going through a tough time, support is available and we're here to help.

We also enjoyed shooting some hoops, which sparked some great conversations about study habits, screen time, and wellbeing.

It was wonderful to connect with so many other organisations doing incredible work in our community. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hello.

If you're navigating study, work, life, or anything in between and need some support, we're here to help. Learn more about headspace Port Macquarie and how to get in touch at headspace Port Macquarie. 💚 https://headspace.org.au/headspace-centres/port-macquarie/

The Census is more than just a survey — it’s one of the ways communities are counted, understood and supported.🙌
Your answers don’t just count people. They help communities get what’s needed👍
Information collected through the Census helps guide decisions about schools, health services, community programs, transport, housing and much more.
When young people participate, decision-makers get a clearer picture of what young people and communities need now and into the future.

The Census can be completed yourself or as part of your household, your answers help tell the story of your community. One form is to be completed per household, usually by an adult, but if you are under 18 and would more information go to
info.census.abs.gov.au/about/doing-census OR youth action.org.au
💚 Every answer matters. 💚 Every community matters. 💚 Your voice can help shape future services and supports.

We are excited to share that we have developed a new program called NEXT STEPS, specifically for 12-16 year olds who are engaged with our service.

Based on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) this 8-week program will cover 4 modules of distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Starts WED 12th AUG, 4:30-6:30pm at headspace (12 Short St)

It's going to be awesome, interactive, and will be run in a small group environment- afternoon tea provided- woohoo!

So, if you or your young person is registered with headspace either seeing a counsellor or on our waitlist- this is for you.

Skills to get you back on track and thriving... 💚
Email [email protected] for more info.

Please note: you must be able to commit to the full 8 week program. Spots strictly limited.

Earlier this month our headspace Family Reference Group (FRG) hosted a screening of SEEN the film, a documentary that explored the power of personal healing for parents but also delved into its impact on child brain development.

With over 85 people in attendance it was wonderful to bring together both parents and community to reflect on how our own childhood experiences shape the way we parent and connect with young people.

"We can all make choices in regards to not continuing unhealthy patterns"

Attendees took away greater self-awareness, the importance of having honest conversations (it's never too late), and that parent mental health matters.

BIG thanks to Charles Sturt University Port Macquarie for their wonderful theatre space, headspace staff and volunteers, and to the parents and community who attended.

If you missed out... you can now stream this fabulous, insightful and healing documentary online. For more info, where to watch and the trailer, head here https://seenthefilm.com/
