Accoras

We talk a lot about encouraging people to reach out for support. It helps when they’ve had a chance to get to know us first.

Over the past couple of weeks, our Accoras and headspace teams have been at the MacGregor State High School Mental Health Expo, running stalls at Mt Gravatt SHS and Yeronga SHS, and helping out at the Wellbeing Expo at Durack and Kyabra Family Fun Day.

Being there gives people a chance to have a chat and ask questions they might not pick up the phone to ask. It also gives us time to listen and get to know the communities we work in.

We also celebrated headspace day, making time for this year’s theme, ‘Do nothing’. With so much expected of young people, having time to relax and enjoy themselves deserves a place too.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, stopped for a conversation or helped bring these events together. It’s been good to spend this time with our communities

We talk about mental health every day at Accoras. This week, we asked a few of our team what Mental Health Week means to them personally.

Thank you to our team for taking a moment to share their thoughts.

What does Mental Health Week mean to you?

Queensland Mental Health Week is underway, and this year’s theme is Build Community, Build Wellbeing.

Running from 3 to 11 October, the week encourages us to talk openly about mental health and think about how we support the people around us.

Having people who listen, include us and notice when we’re having a hard time matters. So does knowing where to go when we need support.

At Accoras, this connects with our work alongside individuals, families and communities. We want people to feel comfortable reaching out, know they’ll be heard and have access to support that meets their needs.

Accoras and our headspace team will also be attending and facilitating events over the coming weeks. We’re looking forward to spending time with our communities, talking about mental health and helping people get to know the support available.

We’d love to hear from you, too. What helps you feel connected to your community?

GOOD NEWS STORIES

We could tell you about some of the great things our young people have been achieving lately, but we think they say it better themselves.

These handwritten good news stories have been coming through our Work & Study program at headspace Inala, and we love seeing them.

New jobs, interviews, study goals, new skills, growing confidence and some pretty exciting next steps.

Behind every one is a young person who decided what they wanted to work towards and gave it a go. We’re just lucky enough to be part of the journey and celebrate with them when they get there.

If you’re currently seeing a clinician at headspace Inala and have a work or study goal of your own, ask them about a referral to our Work & Study program.

Today we recognise two important days, both reminding us of the importance of connection, conversation and being there for one another.

World Su***de Prevention Day
This year’s theme, Changing the Narrative on Su***de, encourages us to speak more openly about su***de, challenge stigma and make it easier for people to reach out when they need support.

To mark the day, people across Accoras are took part in a 9km walk, recognising the 9 lives lost to su***de in Australia every day.

It’s a confronting number, and behind every one of those lives is a person, as well as family, friends and communities who are impacted by their loss.

Our walk is a small way for us to acknowledge those lives, remember those we have lost and recognise everyone who has been touched by su***de.

It’s also a reminder of why conversations about su***de matter. They don’t always need to be perfect. Sometimes it’s about noticing someone, asking how they’re going and being there to listen.

R U OK?Day
Today is also R U OK?Day, and this year’s message is Ask R U OK? Any Day.

Across Accoras, our teams got together for Cupcakes and Conversations morning teas.

There was cupcakes, of course, but the conversation was the important part.

It was a chance to sit down together, check in and make a little more time for each other than we sometimes manage in a busy workday.

And while today gives us a good reason to ask “R U OK?”, we don’t need to wait for R U OK?Day to do it.

If someone has been on your mind, check in.

Sometimes a conversation really does make a difference.

A little more purple than usual at the Accoras Leadership Day this week.

Our Leadership Team wore purple in recognition of Wear it Purple Day 2026, showing our support for LGBTQIA+ young people and the importance of creating spaces where everyone feels safe, included and able to be themselves.

Wear it Purple Day is an important opportunity to celebrate LGBTQIA+ young people and remind them that they are seen, valued and supported.

We were proud to add a little purple to our day and stand behind that message.
