Art is a great way to bring out your creative side and exp...ress emotion, making it a healthy form of self-care, we encourage everyone to try it.

19.01.2022 WE ARE BIG BELIEVERS IN SETTING GOALS! Goals can be as significant or trivial as you want them to be. Having direction and finding something to be motivated about is important for your wellbeing.

17.01.2022 TIP FOR A HEALTHY HEADSPACE: GET ENOUGH SLEEP. Here are some expert tips on how you can improve your sleep quality and routine. Michael Gradisar is a sleep expert from the National Sleep Foundation. Here are his quick tips for improving your sleep.... At least an hour before bed, switch from video games, YouTube and social media to TV or watching a movie. Lower the brightness on your phone and computer screens at night. Some have features where you can automatically dim and change the colour of your screens to help you prepare for rest. If you find it hard to wind down, try a mindfulness exercise like one from the Smiling Mind app. Try to sleep the same amount every night. An extra hour, every now and then, is fine but any more can confuse your body clock. If you need to get up during the night try to avoid turning on bright lights and hop back into bed quickly. Avoid caffeine at least six hours before you go to bed. If you can, avoid napping during the day.

16.01.2022 Happy Monday! We hope you have a bear-y good week.

16.01.2022 If only it was that easy hey?! Anxiety is something that is more common and more normal than you might think. It can happen unexpectedly and sometimes it can be very hard to control. It's when anxiety becomes frequent or prevents you from doing things, that it might be time to reach out for some support. That support might be speaking with a trusted friend, engaging in some purposeful self-care, orrrrrr it could be us ... Remember, we've got your back. If our services are not suitable or the best for you, we will always point you to one that can.

12.01.2022 Ali joins us as a social work student as she takes on her final placement. Some fun facts about Ali: She describes herself as curious and creative! Ali is super passionate about social work, she is even the research assistant for a lecturer at QUT. ... One of her favourite experiences was working an American summer as a camp counselor! Her spirit animal is a hippo. For many very cool reasons, like the fact that they are unique and mysterious, they turn pink and they are very protective of their babies, just like Ali is when it comes to her own family. Awwww Ali is a big fan of the headspace vision and is thrilled to be completing her placement with us because she loves working with young people because of the ‘sass’ energy and resilience. We are so happy to have you here with us Ali as our resident hippo! #dreamteam

01.01.2022 Alcohol and other drugs can seem like a normal part of life for many young people. We totally get it it can be fun, lift your mood and boost your confidence. But the issue is that these substances can also seriously harm your headspace. When the high wears off, the after-effect can leave you feeling worse than before. Anxiety can increase, your mood can drop and any difficulties with family or friends can be harder to manage. If you’ve been struggling, it’s a good idea to l...ook at whether your alcohol or drug use is playing a part. In fact, cutting back on alcohol and other drugs can be one of the most important things you can do for your headspace but it isn’t always easy. If you’re having trouble quitting, or you want some help or advice, you should speak to your doctor or contact us here at headspace. Here’s how reducing, or cutting back on, alcohol and other drugs can improve your headspace. It can keep your mind alert reduce the side effects of hangovers and come downs improve your motivation improve your sleep.
