23.01.2022 Meet Nicholas! What do you do for fun? I’m a bit of a big-kid at heart so I love building LEGO, having nerf gun fights, playing guitar hero and dancing around my apartment to pop music!... What brings you joy? The things that bring me joy include getting to water my houseplants once a fortnight and watching them grow, FaceTiming my friends and having a good laugh together, infectious smiles from strangers and getting out adventuring/exploring. I recently discovered a really cool waterfall near my house! What is your most favourite quote? Winston Churchill once said if you’re going through hell, keep going and to be honest, the place that I was in when I heard this quote really felt like hell so it helped me to hold on and to get through it. Most surprising fact about you? I have a 5 year old son, I was 17 when he was born and I coparent with his mum! He is definitely part of the reason why I have a burning desire to better the world that he is going to grow up in. See more

22.01.2022 Posted @withregram @headspace_aus There are a lot of ways to describe sexuality and (gender). Many of these are captured by the terms LGBTIQA+, but these can mean different things to different people. Having words to describe ourselves and others can be helpful. Explore what LGBTIQA+ means now.... Remember: The way you describe your sexuality and gender, and who you share it with, is totally up to you.

17.01.2022 Self-care is important in order to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself as it helps increase positive feelings; boosts your confidence, self-esteem and it shows that your needs are important. headspace Collingwood Youth Advisory Committee have decided to call this month ‘Self-Care September’, and we want you to treat yo self! Everyday for the next month we will be giving you some self-care ideas or challenges to try; but remember self-care doesn’t need to end in Sep...tember. Looking after yourself is needed for a healthy headspace, all year round. #headspacecollingwood #selfcareseptember

If you need to speak to someone urgently, call Lifeline 13 11 14 or Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467.

17.01.2022 headspace Day at Collingwood is nearly here! Over the next week we will be posting different video's based around the 7 Tips for a Healthy headspace and $100 vouchers will be up for grabs!

17.01.2022 Meet Khalyce! What do you do for fun? I love making pasta and eating pasta. I recently got a pasta machine for my birthday so I’ve been very excited to put it to use. ... What’s a surprising fact about you? I’m half African-American, half Italian-Australian. Most people are surprised by this because I’m so pale. Genetics are funny sometimes. Self-care tip 101: Sleep more! I read Matthew Walker’s ‘Why We Sleep’ last year and it completely changed my relationship with sleep. It’s so important and I don’t think enough people are aware of the impact sleep has on our quality of life. If you were down to your last $10 what would you spend it on? Goat cheese <3

16.01.2022 Meet Sophie! Describe yourself in 3 words Friendly, Genuine, Passionate... What do you do for fun? Lately, I’ve been having fun listening to podcasts on walks, practicing Yoga, knitting and doing Trivia nights with friends over zoom! What is the best piece of advice you’ve received? Those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter - Dr Seuss Yes, It's cliche, but the more I surround myself with people who support and inspire me, the more I realise just how true it is. These people matter so much to me because they like me for who I am. They don’t mind any of the superficial stuff. If they do mind, they’re not supporting me or being a good friend, and so their opinion doesn’t need to matter. Dr Seuss was a smart guy! Self-Care tip 101: Journalling is the best! Everyone thinks it's daunting at first but it can be so cathartic to get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper. I’ve learnt so much about myself and if you’re an over-thinker like me it’s a godsend when wanting to make big decisions in life. If you were down to your last $10, what would you spend it on? Definitely Mango Gelato! Stay tuned over the next few weeks to meet more of our Youth Advisory Committee members!

16.01.2022 Tonight is the night! Posted @withregram @wgpsevents AUCTION FOR AN AUCTION : TONIGHT 6PM! Our grand fiesta was having a siesta this year but @jelliscraiginnernorth efforts to support us have remained!... This year we are thrilled to bring the auction for an auction back, however we are going to be doing it a little differently! Given the trying times of 2020 @jelliscraiginnernorth wanted to share the love and try to use this event to raise funds for mental health programs in the inner north as well as for our school. We are thrilled that the @jelliscraigfndn have agreed to support us as well this year and will match the fundraising efforts dollar for dollar up to $10,000! If achieved they will be donating these additional funds raised ($10k) to adolescent mental health programs run by @headspacecollingwood @headspace_aus There has never been a more important time in our lives to support our community and mental health related issues. To make this a great success, we need your help too! If you or anyone you know is considering selling a property in the inner north in the next 12-18mths you can participate in the auction for an auction! PLEASE TAG YOUR FRIENDS OR SHARE THIS POST with those you think may benefit from participating. T&Cs available on request but the most important thing to know is that there are no upfront or out of pocket expenses. Message or call Sam on 0425834583 to find out more. Thank you to @jelliscraig and the foundation for supporting us this year, we are so grateful #westgarthprimary #auctionforanauction #headspace #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #adolecentmentalhealth #headspaceday #northcote #jelliscraig #community #support #auction #realestate #realestateagent #melbourne #wgpsevents #wpsfiesta #community #support

16.01.2022 Today is World Mental Health Day. With the challenges of this year, mental health and wellbeing has never been more important. So this year, the message from @aumentalhealth is simple: "Look after your mental health, Australia."... To discover more tips on what you can do to fulfil that promise, visit the link in our bio #LookAfterYourMentalHealthAustralia.

15.01.2022 In addition to our post earlier today, where we discussed the message that ‘There’s more to say after R U OK? We would also like to acknowledge the important step BEFORE asking R U OK? which is ‘Making sure you are ready’. In keeping with our Self-Care September theme we encourage you to think of the phrase we always hear on an aeroplane you need to put on your own oxygen mask first before assisting others. ... If you’re not in the best headspace to support someone right now, it is completely OK to ask someone else to check in with them instead. Asking R U OK is a beautiful, kind way to support the people around you, make sure to extend that compassion towards yourself as well. And remember a conversation could change a life! #selfcareseptember #headspacecollingwood #ruok https://www.ruok.org.au/

15.01.2022 Day of Fun is back on September 1! Just because you’re all safely socially-distanced, doesn’t mean you can’t dabble in a little friendly competition. Available over Zoom, we’ve got three options for groups of all sizes.... Want some full-bodied fun that’s big on laughs and light on thinking? That’d be our Funlympics. Prefer your parties come with trivial top notes? Virtual Trivia has you covered. Or if you’d like something with a hint of hints, our Virtual Escape Rooms are ready to roll. Have fun and feel connected. Throw a virtual A-Party with your friends on September 1 and help us put the fun back into fundraising with our friends at Funlab! https://www.strikebowling.com.au/parties/virtual-parties

13.01.2022 Meet Georgia! Describe yourself in 3 words: I am creative, weird and shy... What do you do for fun? I draw illustrations, make podcasts (Braided Series from Artful Dodgers), daydream and play games on the Nintendo Switch If you could change one thing about the world what would it be? Higher salary/income for people who work in the Arts. Plus, more money to organisations like Artful Dodgers (a community art space for young people) so they can do their good work without having to rely on applying for grants. Self-care tip 101 Just taking at least 5 minutes out of my day to be mindful and keep myself grounded. I tend to daydream a lot, so I often get caught up in my own head and miss what it feels like to be out in nature or the flavours of the food I am eating. So being mindful lets me focus, feel grounded and I can enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

13.01.2022 ~ COMPETITION TIME! ~ We want to hear from you! What do you do for self-care? Post your photo, a 1min video or tell us your tip in the comments below. The winner will be drawn on Wed 21st 12pm and receive a $100 voucher!

03.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day. This year, the message is 'There's more to say after R U OK?' It's hard to know what to say if someone tells you they aren't ok. Listening to their concerns, encouraging them to take action and checking-in regularly after your chat are three great places to start. After today, keep the conversation going and make each day a good day to check in with loved ones. A conversation could change a life.... Get some tips on what to say after R U OK at https://www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask.

03.01.2022 Check-in reminder: don't forget to check in on your strong friend, your happy friend and your quiet friend.
