A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Mental Health Month Morning Tea at the Factory Community Centre. It was wonderful to see so many community members come together to connect, share a cuppa, and take time to focus on mental health and wellbeing.

Events like these remind us of the importance of looking after ourselves and each other, reducing stigma, and creating spaces where people feel supported and connected.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the morning so welcoming and meaningful. Together, we can continue building a stronger, more connected community.

Mental health matters, and so does staying connected.

Join us tomorrow at the Factory Community Centre for a friendly morning tea. Come along for a chat, meet new people, enjoy some refreshments, and connect with your local community in a supportive space.

Because looking after our mental wellbeing starts with connection.

Last week, we joined ISV for their Regional CAFS Development and Support Network at Alexandria Town Hall, where our Counterpoint Multicultural Centre is located.

This quarterly forum brings CAFS providers together to plan and respond to local service and practice challenges across the region. The Network is primarily for providers working across the City of Sydney, Inner West, Randwick, Waverley, and Woollahra LGAs.

Great to see the sector working together.

Yesterday, we said goodbye to our wonderful counselling student, Smita, with cake, laughs, and of course, a unicorn! 🦄🎂

Thank you, Smita, for everything you've brought to the Factory during your placement. It's been a pleasure having you as part of the team, and we wish you all the very best for the future.

As for the unicorn photo... let's just say our photography skills might not be award-winning, but we're always up for a laugh or two! 😊

Yesterday, Counterpoint attended the Aboriginal Community Consultation for the Sydney Local Health District Aboriginal Health Strategic Plan 2026–2031 at the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE).

This consultation ensures the Aboriginal community is fully involved in shaping the new Plan focused on Closing the Gap, Connecting to Country, truth telling, and improving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.

We're honoured to listen, learn, and walk alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members and partners with respect and cultural safety.
