25.01.2022 I found this so calming. Don't discount the little actions in our days, they make a difference. Happy Friday everyone x

25.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Kate here. We are currently sitting at 1499 Facebook likes. I've said before that likes don't matter and I stand by that. HOWEVER, this is giving me an eye twitch. Please help me get my Christmas wish of reaching 1500 people in our WHWS FB Community. (That and world peace, obviously) By sharing and liking our posts, you help us to spread the word about the services available at WHWS.... Sending lots of happy Christmas wishes your way.

24.01.2022 Do you find yourself excessively apologizing? Has someone pointed out that you say sorry too much? Typically women are guilty of this crime, but why do we do it and how can we change it? Have a look at this video from Mel to learn more. https://zcu.io/pjUw #overapologizing #mentalhealth #womensmentalhealth #womenshealthandwellbeingservices

24.01.2022 Yeah, who says? We'd love to see a pic of your furry family members. Pop a photo in the comments so we can see all of the adorable WHWS furry community members

23.01.2022 NEW PODCAST OUT TOMORROW - This episode is about being a FIFO partner and mother. The interview Melanie chats with Robyn and we talk about how to maintain a healthy long-term relationship despite being FIFO, and parenting in a FIFO context.

23.01.2022 Christmas can be a challenging and stressful time for many people and families, despite the intended happy times. If you already struggle with boundary issues with family members, Christmas can make this even more challenging with added pressure to say yes to events and gatherings you don't want to. This can be even more difficult if your children go between parents for Christmas. Join Mel in today's live stream as she discusses these topics :)

23.01.2022 Relateable I don't know why I am like this, but it's nice to know I'm not alone

14.01.2022 Public service announcements! 1) has your child emptied their lunch box? As a mumma who has forgotten to check in the past, that thing can get NASTY! 2) is there something in your freezer that you need defrosted for Christmas Day? Think about taking it out to defrost in the fridge now. If you wait until 10pm on Christmas Eve to pull out a 40lb turkey you in for a problem, no one want turkey pops for Christmas lunch! ... 3) arguably the most important one! BATTERIES! Do you have batteries for everything that’s under the tree? AA, AAA, C, D 9v? We have been that family ringing all the delis on Christmas morning to find batteries! Any other PSA or tips I should add to this post? Let me know below!

07.01.2022 On Thursday we hosted a launch for a new arm of the organisation The Hidden World of You. What a great event attended by stakeholders, community and clients. Thank you to our Chair Kim for welcoming everyone, board member Leanne for delivering our acknowledgment of country, and a previous client Natasha for sharing a snippet of how WHWS has impacted on your life and Chris Tallentire MLA member for Thornlie for officially launching the program. The Hidden World of You (www.hid...denworldofyou.com.au) is an online membership platform filled with an expanding library of mental and emotional health, parenting, lifestyle and relationship courses that people can work through at their own pace and their own convenience. Thank you to DJ Lachlan for wiring us for sound, Raw Image Australia for photographing the event.

06.01.2022 FACEBOOK LIVE - Slight change this week. Hi guys, Mel will be out visiting the City of Gosnells on Tuesday so we will be moving her FB Live this week to Wednesday at 12.15pm. Don't worry if you aren't free then though, you can always watch the catch-up or also check out the video through our YouTube page where they are all available. https://zcu.io/IghT (While I'm at it, don't forget to subscribe there so that you won't miss when any new videos are uploaded) ... For this live, Mel will be talking about setting boundaries in the lead up to Christmas. Christmas can be a challenging and stressful time for many people and families, despite the intended happy times. If you already struggle with boundary issues with family members, Christmas can make this even more challenging with added pressure to say yes to events and gatherings you don't want to. But how do you say no and take care of yourself amongst the Christmas craziness?

06.01.2022 Game Changer! Understanding Love Languages helped me make instant, positive changes in my relationship Love is what makes the world go round, so why is it so complex and confusing? We all experience love in different ways. Understanding that there are Five Love Languages, as outlined in Dr Gary Chapman's book by the same title, will help you to give and receive love in more meaningful ways. This can enhance communication, reduce conflict and bring more joy into your relatio...nship with your partner or your children.

05.01.2022 Throughout COVID19 we learnt that there are barriers to accessing mental health support and we saw a need to expand our educational service to online. We really believe The Hidden World of You will benefit many people and we are excited to share this with everyone. This program means we can offer a huge variety of self development courses online so people can work at their own pace, across a variety of topics to extend their knowledge and improve their confidence in many areas of their life. We hope you will be able to join us for the launch of this exciting new stage for WHWS.

01.01.2022 Just my house? I’m trying to be grateful they put it in the fridge and didn’t leave it on the bench but seriously??? Who puts 1/2 a teaspoon of milk back in the fridge (I’m pretty sure it was empty when they put it back in the fridge and this is just what was stuck to the sides after they used it last!) Nothing like a first world problem for a Friday morning
