25.01.2022 We are proud to be part of a big community of organisations, charities and services who support people through their journeys with anxiety. Each organisation focuses on a different aspect of #livingwithanxiety and offers specific services around all the types of anxieties our community experiences. We collaborate with many different services and organisations to support each other and to make sure that we access the appropriate services to assist all of the people who reach o...ut to us for help. We'd like to give a big shout-out to some of our friends who are doing some truly amazing work in Victoria. PANDA supports women and their families who are suffering from perinatal anxiety or depression. @pandanational VMIAC is the peak Victorian organisation for people with a lived experience of mental health or emotional challenges. @theVMIAC Compassionate Friends Victoria operate grief support groups for bereaved parents and siblings. @TheCompasionateFriendsVictoriaInc #heretogether #mentalhealthsupport #arcvic #anxietyrecovery #mentalhealthcommunity #mentalhealthvictoria #anxietysupport #anxietyjourney #weunderstandanxiety

24.01.2022 Do you know someone who might need emotional support right now please share . No cost

24.01.2022 Usually on a Monday we share the stories of our volunteers or participants. But tonight, we just wanted to take a moment to send big hugs to all our volunteers. We have dozens of volunteers who share hours of their time each week to assist others who are struggling with anxiety. Some of our volunteers have #livedexperience with anxiety themselves, others are mental health professionals or students and others are simply those who have great big hearts. From online group sessi...ons through to our helpline and our one on one care programme - Cares4me, our volunteers are an integral part of everything we do here at Anxiety Recovery Centre. #weloveourvolunteers #livedexperience #bestteamever #mentalhealthvictoria #arcvic #arcvicambassadors #anxietysupport #caringforthecarers

23.01.2022 Many of us want to reach out and help the community, but don't know exactly how to go about it. To help share the love, we have teamed up with @livingworksaus and @crisisheroes to provide a framework where people can help people. Head across to the crisisheroes website to register your skills or services to help those in need in your local community. Register how you can help someone in your community. This could include picking up groceries, running errands, a friendly pho...ne call, offering produce or goods. No offer is too small! The programme also offers the opportunity to train in suicide first aid to provide support to those who are struggling mentally and emotionally. #livingworks #crisisheroes #peoplehelpingpeople #arcvic #anxietyrecovery #suicideprevention #suicidefirstaid #suicidefirstaidtraining #communitysupport #weunderstandanxiety #heretogether

22.01.2022 The best gift you can give this year is time. Each year it seems the holiday season just gets busier and busier. There's a lot of expectation around gifts, parties and finishing off tasks before Dec 25th. At the end of one of the most difficult years we have all faced, it's important to make sure you give yourself and others time to breathe. Share your time where you can with family and friends. Reach out to people who mean something to you and, if you have space, connect w...ith those who could use a little Christmas cheer. #givetime #taketime #arcvic #anxietyrecovery #selfcare

21.01.2022 You're welcome to join us each Friday for a FREE mindfulness session. Please head across to our website to reserve your place. https://www.facebook.com/events/399370338093173

21.01.2022 Many people affected by obsessive compulsive disorder find it helpful to talk with others who share similar experiences. Discussing symptoms, self help ideas and strategies in a relaxed and understanding environment can be a great support to recovery. If you'd like to join in this online group, please head across to our website to register. https://www.facebook.com/events/701190984063185

20.01.2022 Suicide and intentional self-harm are complex, often with many contributing factors. Right now one third of deaths in Australia from 15 - 24 are attributed to suicide. With timely and appropriate interventions many of these deaths may be preventable.... We encourage you to become a suicide alert helper and be better prepared to: - Notice and respond to situations in which thoughts of suicide may be present - Apply basic TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen, & KeepSafe) - Connect the person with thoughts of suicide to suicide first aid help and further community resources We regularly run suicide first aid courses and have a wealth of resources which may help. If you, or anyone you know may be interested in exploring suicide prevention, please head to our website for more information on courses. #suicideprevention #suicidefirstaid #understandinganxiety #anxietysupport #anxietyrecovery #arcvic #livingworks #suicideeducationandawareness

20.01.2022 We are big advocates of checking in on your overall wellbeing regularly. For some, the idea of wellbeing can be confusing - is it physical health, mental health, spiritual health or all of the above? Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind and spirit. The realisation that everything we do, think, feel and believe has an effect on our wellbeing Greg Anderson... Helping you to improve your wellbeing is a large part of what we do here at ARCVic. Here are some of the ways you can work towards a positive wellbeing. Connect by talking and listening to others and always living in the moment Be active partipate in what makes you happy Take notice pause, breathe in and explore the beauty in the world around you Keep learning embrace new experiences and stay inquisitive Give pay it forward and share acts of kindness, your words and your time with others Self-care is a big part of wellbeing. Every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month we run free online wellbeing support groups we would love you to join us for. Please head to our website for more details. #selfcare #wellbeing #wellness #kindness #anxietyrecovery #arcvic #wellnessgroup #onlinesupportgroups #mentalhealthcare #mentalhealthvictoria #anxietyaustralia #anxietyawareness #anxietysupport #heretogether #weunderstandanxiety #mentalhealthweek2020 #livedexperience

19.01.2022 This year, in the midst of everything 2020 threw at us, we launched our one on one anxiety support programme - Cares4me. So far, we have matched dozens of people experiencing different forms of anxiety with dedicated volunteers who understand anxiety. These volunteers give their time to engage, support, listen and share strategies with the programme's participants. Each week, they speak directly with their matched participant, helping them to work through their challenges and... to celebrate their wins. The programme has been a major achievement for our team and a rewarding experience for our volunteers too. If you feel that this level of support is something you would like to access, please get in touch via our website: arcvic.org.au. And our Helpline is open from Monday - Friday 10am - 8:30pm on 1300 269 438. #arcvic #anxietyrecovery #anxietyvictoria #livedexperinece #mentalhealthvictoria #mindfulnesspractice #ocd #trichotillomania #socialanxiety #cares4me #anxietysupport #anxietysupportgroups #heretogether #weunderstandanxiety #anxietyhelpline #oneononeanxietysupport #livedexperience

Here are some beautiful words from one of our caes4me participants.... I was feeling very lonely. I tried to get support from other agencies, but they couldn’t understand. Everyone at ARCVic is very friendly, and they understand me. I look forward to receiving calls from my volunteer each week. - A #reachout #arcvic #cares4me #anxietyrecovery #arcvic #anxietysupport #heretogether #livedexperience #livingwithanxiety #weunderstandanxiety #mentalhealthvictoria #ocdsupport #trichotillomania #hoarding

We encourage you, particularly as we head into the end of the year to be kind to others - and yourselves as well! #arcvic #anxietyrecovery #anxietyvictoria #livedexperinece #mentalhealthvictoria #mindfulnesspractice #ocd #trichotillomania #socialanxiety #cares4me #anxietysupport #anxietysupportgroups #heretogether #weunderstandanxiety #anxietyhelpline #selfcare #payitforward #randomactsofkindness
