New harm minimisation resources 💙

Everyone deserves access to clear, reliable information. Our new factsheets provide evidence-based information about common substances, what to expect, potential risks and ways to reduce harm.

If alcohol or other drug use is affecting you or someone you care about, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Support is available.

👉 Download the factsheets from our website. https://buff.ly/2zwfKn4

Today, 31 August, is International Overdose Awareness Day.

We sat down with Kris Crane, our Lived Experience Lead, to talk about why this day continues to matter.

Overdose is preventable. By educating ourselves and others about naloxone, harm reduction, and other practical tools and techniques, we can help save lives.

25 years on, this day is still as important as ever. 💜

💜 Today is Wear it Purple Day!

This year’s theme, Colours of Courage, celebrates the many different ways courage is shown by LGBTQIA+ young people, allies and communities every day.

Courage isn’t always found in big, bold moments. Sometimes, it looks like:
🏳️‍🌈 Living authentically and proudly
💜 Coming out or asking for support
🗣️ Speaking up and standing up for others
🤝 Being an ally and creating safer, more inclusive spaces
✨ Choosing hope and pride, even when being yourself doesn’t always feel easy

The colours of this year’s theme represent the diversity of identities, experiences and stories within our communities. Today, we celebrate the courage to be yourself, support others and create change.

Let’s keep building workplaces, communities and spaces where everyone feels safe, valued and free to be who they are. 💜🏳️‍🌈

A fantastic day of connection at our Veterans Day Seminar!

On Wednesday 5 August, our Caboolture Veterans and Families' Wellbeing Hub hosted one of its biggest events yet, bringing together nearly 40 local service providers and more than 50 veterans, families and community members.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect people with local support, learn about available services and build stronger community connections. Our own Lives Lived Well teams from across the local area were also there to share information and support.

A huge thank you to Bunnings Warehouse, At Your Service Catering, Wamuran Women’s Shed, Anglicare, No Duff Community Services, Moreton Bay Florists and Gifts, Jenni Handcrafted Designs and 101.5 FM for helping make the day possible. 💙

We were thrilled to receive 95% positive feedback, with attendees and stallholders describing the event as:

💬 “Great setting and variety of services. Hosts were friendly and professional.”

💬 “Calm and intimate, allowing us to have meaningful discussions with veterans and acknowledge the lived experience in the room.”

💬 “Please thank the Women’s Shed for their delicious food. Thank you to Jase for making it possible for us to attend, and thank you to all the staff.”

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and helped bring the day together. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🙌
