23.01.2022 Some Gold from the amazing Prince Harry !!!

21.01.2022 A friend in the USA was involved in making this film, very thought provoking.

19.01.2022 8 weeks ago my best mate took his own life. I never had any worries about his mental health and I’ll forever cogitate on the fact that he didn’t reach out to me.... I wish he knew it was ok not to be ok and that he could never be a burden to me. He once snuck off his farm to paint a tree blue. A funny and fitting memory of his character and free spirit. So now to raise awareness for mental health we are starting an initiative to paint a dead tree blue in the hope that it lets people know that they aren’t the only one and that there is help out there. Over the last 2 Monday’s with the help of J-BO and the old man, we have tackled this beast. Standing over 15 Metres high it was a challenge in scorching heat. But here it is, a tribute to my best mate and hopefully the start of something very special. #bluetree #beyondblue #beyondbluetree #mentalawarness #Jaydo #Rex #blueforwhyte Blue Tree Project Facebook https://m.facebook.com/bluetreeproject.com.au/ Instagram @bluetreeproject #bluetreeproject Website - coming www.blueproject.com.au Blue Project Fundraiser https://individual-fundraiser-ongoing.everydayhero.com//bl For more information contact Anthea Comerford 0427984104 [email protected] For support or more information about suicide prevention https://www.beyondblue.org.au/ https://www.lifeline.org.au 13 11 14

16.01.2022 "Being the mother of a son is like someone breaking up with you really slowly..."

14.01.2022 One day recently my three-year-old asked me to tickle him. I knew that tickling could be one of those activities that could move quickly from fun into boundary ...transgression, and kids often nervously laugh and tolerate touch they’re not sure they want. I wanted to connect with him playfully in the way he was asking, and I wanted to model safe physical experiences for him at the same time. If you start to feel like you don’t like it, you can tell me to stop, I said. Stop, he said, testing it. I stopped. Go, he said, laughing. I tickled again. Stop. Go. We practiced for a few rounds, with him seamlessly taking the lead with guiding the touch. And if I ever tickle you somewhere that doesn’t feel good, you can say, ‘I don’t like that’. I don’t like that, he practiced. But we’re not just teaching our kids about the kind of touch to avoid. We also want them to enjoy living in their bodies and to not attach shame to touch that makes them feel good. If there’s somewhere you want me to tickle you, you can ask me. Like, ‘Will you tickle my feet?’ Then I get to decide if that’s something I want to do. Will you tickle my feet? he asked me. Hmm...Yes, I will. That’s something I would like to do. And just like that we practiced boundaries, consent, and normalized pleasure. It’s not one serious, awkward conversation. It’s not The Sex Talk you’ve known and dreaded. It’s a foundation built over years through affection, conversation, and modeling. Tenderly, playfully, with curiosity and openness. It’s not solely teaching about sex either; it’s about conveying that we are embodied beings based in sensory experiences, and there are many ways to relish living in a body rich with sensation. #teachconsent #consentculture #creatingconsentculture #sexpositivefamilies #bodyboundaries #mybodymyrules #growingupknowing #unsilencedbody #unsilencedwoman

11.01.2022 Social abuse is often very subtle but often very damaging to relationships.

08.01.2022 The impact of the current bushfires is widespread and devastating having a range of emotional, mental health, relational and social impacts, whether directly af...fected by the fires or not.

07.01.2022 Katherine is unable to accept new referrals at this point in time due to her own health issues. This situation is expected to continue until later this year. Katherine would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and understanding during this time and will be in touch when this situation changes.

06.01.2022 This is what a world built to be joyful would look like. Watch the full TED Talk here: http://bit.ly/2N1hNDN

05.01.2022 This is my wife. I have been married to her since 20th Dec "14. She knew me as the hard as f#$k soldier who loved the army and everything it entailed, I spent l...arge amounts of time away (One memorable time spent away I was gone for 8 weeks got home and the next day was told I had to go again on the next day. This is called performance punishment among the digs). She stood by when I was in Afghanistan which can only be thought of as IMMENSELY courageous, a noteable moment for her when I was there was a U.S. media outlet reported 3 men from my barracks had been killed and the families not notified yet which was true and the Aus media weren't to report it until the families notified. Which would've been so very hard for her to endure, sitting at home witing for that fateful knock on the door... Now years later she has stood by that Alpha male who has turned into a completely different human being. She has watched me progressively lose my mind to anxiety and panic attacks. She has helped me through alcoholism. She has helped me through self harm episodes. She saw a man who was excited to go to war, change to a whippet scared to leave the house. I wear medals on my chest on days of war commemoration. But the TRUE HERO is this lady. I am no hero, I don't even feel I'm particularly courageous. I'm just trying to live. But Ella wakes up every day and tends to our 2 beautiful children and stands by me as staunch as any soldier I've ever met. Which is true courage. If you have read this far, I ask you to please share this far and wide. See more
