Meet Ingrid 👋

Ingrid is a counsellor with Peninsula Community Support, providing free counselling to adults on the Redcliffe Peninsula.

There’s no referral or mental health care plan needed, and people can access as many sessions as they need.

“As long as I remain curious, I will never run out of passion. I’m grateful that every day is interesting, varied, and challenging. There’s never one way of doing things, seldom a dull moment, no day is ever the same, and I learn as much from my clients as I hope they learn from me.”

Times are tough, and rising living costs are putting extra pressure on many households.

Sometimes, talking through your finances with someone can uncover options or small changes that help ease some of that stress.

For Anti-Poverty Week, financial counsellor Louissa shares what the week means to her and how financial counselling can support people experiencing money stress.

Our financial counselling services are free, confidential and independent.

Today is BlueCare Giving Day🌻(https://myuniting.care/3TL9wfg) a fundraising campaign dedicated to improving the lives of people living with dementia and supporting the families who walk beside them every day.

Funds raised through Giving Day will support BlueCare in providing specialist dementia training, dementia-friendly resources and enhanced support for people living with dementia and those who care for them.

For people living with dementia, it's often the small things that matter most. A familiar face. A meaningful conversation. A moment of connection. For families, it's knowing they're not facing the journey alone.

And we're asking our community to help make more of those moments possible.

Thanks to the generosity of our matched giving partners, AccessPay, Bidfood, Bunzl and Jacob George, online donations made between 8am and 8pm will be matched dollar-for-dollar until matching funds are exhausted, doubling the impact of every gift.

We want to help ensure no one has to navigate the dementia journey without support, understanding and care.

Please donate, share and help us spread the word.🌻(https://myuniting.care/3TL9wfg)

This World Su***de Prevention Day, we remember those we have lost to su***de.

We acknowledge the people whose lives have been changed by su***de, and the grief, questions and lasting impact that can follow a loss.

Across UnitingCare, our work in su***de prevention and support takes different forms. That means being there when someone is in crisis, helping people recognise and respond to distress earlier, and making sure support does not end after a su***de death.

We will continue to show up for our communities through this work. Today, our thoughts are also with everyone carrying the impact of su***de, whether that loss is recent or has been part of their life for many years.

If you or someone you know needs support:

Children’s voices need to be part of the conversation about the systems and services that affect their lives.

That is one of the reasons UnitingCare was proud to be part of the Enhancing Children’s Journey Through Out of Home Care research project, led by Professor Karen Healy and the Life Course Centre.

The project listened to children in out of home care, their parents, and foster and kinship carers over several years, helping build a deeper understanding of what supports children’s wellbeing, connection and sense of belonging.

This Child Protection Week, we are sharing the Out of Home Care: Children’s Journeys podcast series, which brings those voices and insights together for people working to improve outcomes for children and families.

Where did I leave my school shoes?
Is my homework at Mum’s house or Dad’s house?
Where is my favourite toy?

When parents separate, children are often navigating much more than the bigger emotional changes.

Even in loving, supportive families, living across two homes can mean there is simply more to remember: school things, belongings, routines, what needs to go where and what has been left behind.

Our Supporting Children after Separation Program (SCaSP) works with children and young people to help them make sense of these changes and have a safe and supportive space that is focused on their experience.

Through counselling, play and creative activities, our practitioners support children to explore feelings, relationships and changes at home in ways that work for them.

This Queensland Child Protection Week, we are highlighting the importance of hearing children’s voices and making space for their experience, especially when big changes are happening around them.

SCaSP is part of our broader Family Law Services, which also provide support, education and mediation for parents and families navigating separation.
