25.01.2022 We had PASTA for our parenting group last night! We talked about 5 tips for how to have tough conversations with our young people. #babiyfs #BABIPET

25.01.2022 #Repost @ruokday with @make_repost Its #RUOKDay, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today were calling on Australians to learn what to say after R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says theyre not OK.... Theres more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before theyre in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where were all connected and are protected from suicide.
