17.01.2022 Jacqui, this is a lovely gesture on your behalf in remembrance of Sandra. I remember her fondly from days gone by when Iris Foundation was first established. She leaves a legacy of kindness and you carry that legacy well. Our grateful thanks for your support. Sue

15.01.2022 Treat everyone with kindness, you don't know their complete story. #SuicidePrevention #Kindness #YouCanTalk

15.01.2022 When someone decided to snatch the Iris Donation box from the shop counter at La Carta Art Gallery, Cafe and Handcrafted Gifts, owners Robert & Silvana stepped up to replace funds lost and auctioned one of the beautiful paintings from their gallery. Our appreciation to Wendy Bell, the now proud owner of the painting who has marked out the spot where it should hang in her home. Our special thanks to Robert & Silvana - As our first Iris Foundation Ambassadors for 2020 we continue to be so grateful of all their support. #connections #resilience #hope

09.01.2022 Emily and the VERY big Feeling is a beautifully written and illustrated book that encouages children to talk about that feeling they have inside. We had the pleasure of meeting with author, Celeste Cannell, and learn more about why Project Emily was created. The book is being distributed to all primary schools and public libraries across the Central Coast and we recommend reading by parents and children. More details can be found at www.projectemily.com.au #suicidepreventi...on #anxiety #suicide

08.01.2022 We know it’s a "Mystery' but we're sure John & Lyndsey at Hotondo Homes won’t leave the winner disappointed. Ticket sales close 30th September. We are grateful for this fundraiser to help us continue to support students 9-14yrs of age. In comparison to Term 4 last year, our resilience-building programs and workshops in the schools are set to increase by 500% in Term 4 2020. It’s keeping us busy!

04.01.2022 Some quick thoughts on Father’s Day and @ruokday coming up this week.

04.01.2022 RUOK Day is behind us for another year, but we need to talk through the tough times all year around. Our co-founders, Bev and Dawn, were interviewed by Westpac, generous supporters of our resilience programs and the Tree of Dreams. This video highlights some simple but important ways of staying connected. https://www.westpac.com.au//ok-to-say-its-a-difficult-tim/

04.01.2022 World Suicide Prevention Day 10th September. Speaking openly and honestly about our mental health has never been more important. We encourage you to take the time to reach out to others - stay connected. If you are in need of support call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

03.01.2022 Amazing and mysterious support from Hotondo Homes helping Iris Foundation in our work to reduce the risk of suicide on the Central Coast. Can't wait to find out what's inside! I'm guessing there has to be some sweetness in there, or something fun, or something pampering, or....

03.01.2022 Silvana & Robert are amazing. Always fundraising for Iris Foundation. They had a donation box on their counter that sadly someone felt they needed more.
