16.01.2022 The National Mental Health Commission’s recently launched online initiative #MakingTime. #MakingTime is an online community-led initiative, designed to build re...silience, over the summer period, in Australians who live with mental illness, those who care for them, as well as those experiencing mental distress. 2020 was a difficult year for all Australians, and this year will continue to be tough given the announcement of new restrictions and border closures, so this is a program that we hope will resonate with the wider community and create peer generated ideas for managing mental health concerns. They are inviting everyone to share their personal stories at the dedicated website www.nmhcmakingtime.com.au #MakingTime calls on the community to share what they have made time for during difficult moments, or will make time for over the summer, so that we can share positive experiences and strategies to support our mental health and wellbeing during the holiday period.

11.01.2022 PDA’s 18-30 year old initiative has rebranded and will now be known as PDA Youth Network. This decision was made following feedback and discussion from members ...and the Committee. We believe that this new name positively reflects the importance and need for PDA’s younger members having their own community that understands the needs and wants of young Australian adults living with physical disability. With your help, we want to build up PDA Youth Network and make it truly representative of you, our fellow members. So we ask our 18-30 year old members to get on board and help. Whether this means joining one of our regular Zoom sessions (now every third Thursday of the month - see below*), getting involved on our committee, sharing your ideas, posting on our Facebook group page or inviting your friends to join our Youth Network. * Our Zoom sessions will now be known as Hangouts and will run every third Thursday of the month at 7pm AEDT. Our next Hangout will be on Thursday 18th February and you can register at: https://us02web.zoom.us//tZMrc-GqrDwpHdWVcSOD2mVq4XbwP9P2Z Catch up with friends. Make new friends. Get social.
