25.01.2022 Little people frequently struggle with big feelings, and they need big people to help them out x

23.01.2022 Practice update: in light of regional Victoria moving to Stage 3 COVID-19 restrictions, practitioners will be in contact with families this week to discuss individual arrangements for appointments moving forward.

(These guys are world leaders in research about emotion coaching and relationship building). Not to be missed The webinar will be held on Wednesday the 24th of June at 9am (AEST, Melbourne Time).

21.01.2022 Healthwise Gippsland clients who access our services under a Mental Health Care Plan or Better Access referral (i.e. a Medicare referral from a GP, paediatrician, or psychiatrist) are now eligible for 20 Medicare rebated sessions per calendar year, instead of the previous 10! We are very grateful for this Federal Government announcement, and thank the peak psychology groups in Australia for petitioning for an extension of the Better Access scheme for many years. This announc...ement is a big step forward in supporting the mental health of all Australians, particularly vulnerable populations, and those from rural and regional communities. Jackie x

21.01.2022 Pause, and breathe...

21.01.2022 May you find awareness in nature this weekend

20.01.2022 To all who are struggling with more restrictions and changes this week... We see you, we hear you, and youve got this x

20.01.2022 Some wise wisdom from Teacher Tom on helping little people with big feelings... just being there helps. https://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com//something-that-alway

20.01.2022 "Before we can teach kids to regulate their emotions, we must learn to manage our own emotions first." A great quick read from the Gottman Institute.

20.01.2022 If it feels brave, then it is. Being brave is whatever you perceive it to be x

19.01.2022 Practice update: its time to start practicing your "smiley" eyes as from Monday the 3rd of August 2020 it is a requirement that all Victorians wear face masks upon leaving home. There are limited exceptions to this requirement (e.g. children under 12, or those with serious medical conditions, will not be required to wear masks). All persons attending the clinic will need to have their face mask fitted prior to entering the building. ... Additional information can be found on our website: http://www.healthwisegippsland.com/clinic-updates.html Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support in keeping everyone healthy and well! Catherine, Jackie & the HWG Team x

19.01.2022 Some great ideas (not knowing is okay!) https://imperfectfamilies.com/kids-dont-talk-about-wrong-/

18.01.2022 Our young people are watching, make it count x

17.01.2022 Existing clients, who have already utilised their 10 Medicare subsidised sessions for the calendar year under a Mental Health Care Plan, are now eligible for an additional 10 Medicare subsidised sessions this year. This is a very welcome announcement from the Federal Government, given the additional pressures that many of our families are currently experiencing. You will require a GP, Paediatrician, or Psychiatrist review letter to access sessions 11-20. If you have any questions or require assistance, please dont hesitate to contact the clinic on (03) 51736811.

09.01.2022 It is not possible to force other people to change their thoughts, feelings, or actions. However, if we work on our own thoughts, feelings, and actions, we may inspire others along the way.

08.01.2022 July 20th 2020 COVID-19 update: As an essential health service, Healthwise Gippsland is continuing to offer face to face appointments. However, in order for us to safely offer face to face appointments we need assistance from families to ensure the ongoing good health and wellbeing of everyone who visits our clinic. Importantly, if you are unwell please do not attend the clinic. If you attend the clinic and either yourself, or your child, are visibly unwell you will be asked... to return home and self isolate. Further appointment requirements can be found on our website: http://www.healthwisegippsland.com/clinic-updates.html Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support x

07.01.2022 A heartfelt moment between a little person and her tribe... making the world a better place... #feelgoodTuesday

07.01.2022 Its a tough time in Victoria for little and big people alike. Change, uncertainty, and lack of control, can bring up some really big feelings. But whatever youre feeling, be it sadness, fear, frustration, or anything in between, all feelings are okay... your feelings are a normal response to an abnormal situation. Smiling Minds have developed some lovely care packs for children, particularly relevant for children and families struggling with change, big feelings, or simply ...needing more mindful moments. Jackie x https://www.smilingmind.com.au/kids-care-packs

04.01.2022 We are currently experiencing issues with our phone lines. A technician is on their way, however it may be several hours before our phones are back up and running. Calls will be diverted to a temporary mobile in the mean time, but this may mean that when there is a high volume of calls you'll need to leave a message, or try again a little bit later. Your patience this morning is greatly appreciated as we resolve this issue. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

03.01.2022 "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.... "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I dont think I do." "Thats okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often dont feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know youve got someone there for you. And Ill always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs... he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you x

02.01.2022 Practice update: due to DHHS Covid-19 guidelines, our healthcare practitioners will now be wearing face masks, when clinically appropriate, as an additional way of keeping everyone healthy and safe. Children and parents are also most welcome to wear masks in sessions, although at this stage it is not compulsory. If you could speak to your child before their next appointment about this change it would be much appreciated. Photos and social stories to assist with this transit...ion are now available on our website: http://www.healthwisegippsland.com/clinic-updates.html If you have any questions or concerns, or require alternative arrangements (e.g. Telehealth options) please dont hesitate to contact reception on (03) 51736811. Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding. Catherine, Jackie, and the HWG Team x

02.01.2022 We all have so many thoughts swirling around in our minds at the moment... but perhaps now is a perfect time to remember that not everything is cancelled. Jackie x
