🌈 Wear It Purple Day 2026 💜

Today and every day, we proudly stand with LGBTQIA+SB youth and recognise the importance of creating safe, supportive and inclusive spaces where everyone can feel seen, heard and valued.

This year’s Wear It Purple Day theme, ‘Colours of Courage’, celebrates the many ways courage can show up in our lives and communities.

Courage can be speaking up, standing out and creating change. It can also be found in quieter moments – being yourself, asking for support, standing beside someone, or choosing to learn and understand.

💬 Need someone to talk to?
We offer confidential counselling and support for LGBTQIA+SB young people, allies and families.

We’re here to listen, uplift and support you to live authentically and proudly. 🫶

This time of year, many of us start to feel stretched, overwhelmed, or even burnt out. 🫨

Setting healthy boundaries is one of the most effective ways to support your wellbeing when it all starts to feel like too much.

Here are 6 simple tips to help you set and maintain healthy boundaries:

1️⃣ Assess your needs and limits — check in with your physical, emotional and mental capacity.

2️⃣ Focus on what you can control — shifting out of blame helps you take empowered action.

3️⃣ Communicate clearly and respectfully — a calm, neutral tone helps others understand your needs.

4️⃣ Hold your boundary with follow-through — gently remind others and take action when needed.

5️⃣ Acknowledge those who respect your boundaries — saying thank you reinforces positive behaviour.

6️⃣ Be adaptable — healthy boundaries can shift when needed; you choose when to hold firm or soften.

As the Acacia’s yellow bloom lights the landscape, we welcome Djilba – the season of conception 💛

With the shifting transitional days of Makaru’s crisp, clear weather, this season of growing brings a mix of warmer days, rain showers 🌧️, gusty winds, and the occasional sunny day or two. ☀️

During this time, you may notice birds taking shelter during sudden downpours. The koolbardi (magpies) and djidi-djidi (w***y wagtails) are swooping this time of year as they protect their nests and their young.

Djilba is an abundant season. Water and food sources are replenished, while orchids, wattles and balga (grass trees) begin to flower. 🌱

Just as seasons move through cycles, we too experience periods of change and growth in our lives.

Relationships Australia WA is here to support individuals, partners and families through every season.

We share this cultural knowledge with respect, acknowledging that it belongs to the Noongar people, the Traditional Custodians of this land. 🖤💛❤️

On Tuesday 4 August, we celebrate National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day – honouring the incredible strengths and stories of First Nations children across Australia. 🖤💛❤️

This year's theme, Living Our Truth, celebrates the journeys Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children take as they grow, guided by culture, community and connection to Country. 🌱

Through our Moorditj Yarning program, we offer counselling for First Nations peoples, including children (6 years old and over) to help strengthen their connection to language, history and identity in a safe, supportive environment.

Together, we can nurture their voices and dreams and support a future where every child walks strong in their identity. 🌟

Loneliness can affect anyone. But connection starts with all of us. 🤝

This week Loneliness Awareness Week (3–9 August) reminds us that meaningful connection doesn't happen by chance. It grows when we create spaces where people feel seen, valued and included.

Relationships Australia's latest Relationship Indicators study found that almost one in four Australians often feel very lonely, highlighting just how important it is to create communities where people are supported and connected.

RA National Executive Officer Nick Tebbey says:

"Many people are surrounded by others but still feel disconnected. The opposite of loneliness is not simply company – it is belonging."

Whether it's checking in on a neighbour, inviting someone for a coffee, or making space for someone to feel welcome, small moments of connection can make a real difference.

Let's all make room for connection. 💙
