23.01.2022 Do you want to increase your emotional intelligence ?! There’s four things you need to do! 1. Stop criticising others 2. Stop worry about the future 3. Stop ruminating on the past 4. Stop expecting too much of others... Lately I have seen too many bullying, backstabbing, criticising of others. This is a form of abuse. We need to stop this.. only you can change yourself and move forward.. help is there!

12.01.2022 This is actually true.

12.01.2022 Hi all, This weekend I am working on a live video session. And looking into what you would love to see during theses times! If you're stuck in quarantine with a toxic or abusive partner, text or message me about my black cat and I will know to continually check in on you.... If you ask me about my white cat, I will know to contact the police. There has been a 40% increase in domestic violence cases since this quarantine. Please don't be afraid to reach out. Together we can get thru this.

11.01.2022 This wonderful lady Nudeen, is making a queen size blanket as a donation for DSDVA.. once it’s finished it will be up for sale.. how beautiful is it? So talented!!

11.01.2022 Some of you would remember the video I made about we have a job as a community to stand up against DV or any type of violence.. Sadly, in South Australia - this did not happen! Kim Murphy, 35 years-old was murdered in her home at Morphett Vale this week by her former partner.... As her former partner was allegedly brutalising Kim, she was screaming for her life- her screams ricocheted through her neighbourhood for a good length of time - and not ONE person lifted a finger to help. Not one of her neighbours made the effort to pick up the phone to call the cops. They heard the screams, they knew - but they did nothing. Chances are, if someone bothered to make that phone call, Kim would be alive today. Instead police arrived at her home some 19 hours later long after she had died. And they were only there because a friend made the call after becoming concerned at not hearing from her. Kim is a mum of three and she no longer would be able to watch her children growing up into adults, enjoying grandchildren, enjoying her life in peace. these rights have been taken from her. Kim had been suffering through ongoing domestic violence and had only recently been staying in a refuge, and lived under a constant threat of violence and abuse. The reality is, we can't stop violence but we can do is to take actions that reduce the impact of their violence on victims around Australia and the world! All by making one simple phone call - One of the easiest, safest and most important things we ALL can do is to call police when we suspect a woman or anyone life is in danger. If you see or hear a woman screaming or other suspicious sounds or movements, PLEASE just pick up the damn phone. Call 000. Just do it. A few minutes' effort could save a life. Let’s make this promise now in memory of Kim and for all the women and children living with violence in our country. Don’t be a bystander - but the person who calls ‘000’ and stood up against Domestic Violence Kim is the 14th woman killed this year - 67 Australians have been lost to murder manslaughter in 2020. RIP KIM MURPHY

05.01.2022 Did you know that February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month? Dating violence affect approximately 10% of all teenagers between the ages of 12 to 18. It can take place in person or electronically, such as repeated texting or posting sexual pictures of partners online. People often think some behaviours, like teasing and name calling are a ‘normal’ part of a relationship but theses behaviour can become abusive and develop into serious forms of violence. Still many people do nothing report them unhealthy behaviours because they are afraid to tell family and friends. #teendatingviolenceawarenessmonth

05.01.2022 In addition to overcoming the barriers and dealing with the complications of escaping violence, survivors like most people will likely pass through a range of e...motional stages as they deal with the end of the relationship. Laura L. Finley, Ph.D., an associate professor specializing in violence at Barry University in Florida shares what each of these stages look like for a survivor of domestic violence.

01.01.2022 Stop the Spread. Tips for wearing face mask. Hi, my name is Megan. I’m a nurse and for the past six years have been working in mental health. I wanted to talk to you about masks. Recently, it was announced that if communicating with a d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing person, someone can take their mask off. You might regularly be going to work or the shops and need to wear a mask. It can be hard when we want to eat, drink or take our mask off to drive home, and figure out how to t...ake it off or where to put it. I’ve seen plenty of people casually pull down their mask or put it under their chin. This can be really risky, and you need to be careful. If you have germs on your hands and then you touch your face you can make yourself sick. Similarly, if you touch your face and then go through a door, pick up your phone, use a pen. These things can quickly cause any germs or sickness to quickly spread to others. If we want to remove our mask the best way we can do this is by using alcohol gel or warm water and soap. Wash our hands, when dry, remove the mask by lifting it by the straps. You can place it in a zip lock bag and seal it. Wash your hands again when your finished. If you want to use the mask again, wash your hands. Remove it from the bag by the straps and make sure the straps are fitted behind your ears. Adjust the nose and chin of the mask. Make sure to wash your hands again. Avoid touching the front of the mask. It’s important that if you notice your mask is wet, damaged or dirty, replace it straight away. You should also replace it if you are wearing a mask and then you cough or sneeze. If you are using a fabric, re-usable mask, that’s great. When you go out, get back home and finish with you mask, straight away you should put it in the washing machine with hot water and detergent. Hopefully this helps, you’re looking after each other and looking after yourself. Thank you.
