25.01.2022 Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Today, and every day, our thoughts are with those living with this loss and grief. When someone experiences... pregnancy loss it can be hard to know what to say. You might worry about saying the wrong thing, or you might feel that it would be better to say nothing at all. Here are some tips for what you could say. But remember, people will need different types of support so listen and be guided by them. If you or a loved one are grieving the loss of a pregnancy or baby, know that support is available any time of day or night. You can connect with the SANDS helpline 24/7 on 1300 072 637. See more

11.01.2022 This week is #mentalhealthweek2020 and the best way to raise awareness is to simply talk! Opening the conversation about mental health is the first step to finding help for yourself or reaching out to another who may be struggling. Not sure who to talk to? A family member, friend or close colleague is a good way to start otherwise speaking with a GP or health professional is always recommended. Another great option is a mental health hotline, here are a few we recommend: ...

11.01.2022 This morning our Dietitian spent some time with the lovely team of teachers at Karratha Senior High who are preparing for the last term of what has been a chaotic year to say the least! They had a great conversation about the impact of a healthy diet on mental health for Mental Health Week 2020, with a focus on meal preparation and making healthy choices for work lunches. Whilst preparation is key, eating a healthy diet doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive or time-i...ntensive. If you think you could benefit from seeing a dietitian or have any questions, give us a call on 9144 6900 or feel free to comment below!
