24.01.2022 This is a great initiative and so important. Thanks to WDV for their amazing work. The Safeguards Project aims to increase women with disabilities' access to safe, useful information about their right to safety and respect. It also builds their confidence to identify the need for, and seek, support if they experience violence and abuse.

23.01.2022 Yes! We love a good crafternoon. Why not get creative with self-care?

18.01.2022 Hey Australia. It's time to talk about disability differently. It's time to build our places and spaces differently, change attitudes and recognise that we are ...all different and unique. To do this we need to first understand the revolutionary idea that is the social model of disability. Here's cartoon Jordon to tell you more :D More info here: https://greens.org.au/wa/campaigns/accessible-australia

09.01.2022 Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in Australia, but the way anxiety works often makes people believe they're the only ones. So, we loved reading some of these stories of everyday people and their anxiety. Some are funny, some are sad...but all of them are courageous.

08.01.2022 Amazing innovation! Good luck to all involved.

07.01.2022 Yoga is great for stress management and can be helpful with some mental health and physical health conditions, so we love this idea. Are you going? Let us know how you felt afterwards!

06.01.2022 Loving this. Thanks, YDAS!
