💛 4 YEARS OF BUSSELTON COMMUNITY SAFE SPACE 💛

Four years ago, Busselton Community Safe Space opened its doors with a simple but powerful purpose — to create a place where people could come as they are, feel heard, feel supported and know they weren't alone.

Four years on, we are incredibly proud of what has grown from that vision. 🌿

What started as an idea has become a community that continues to show up for one another — through difficult days, moments of connection, shared experiences, conversations, activities, events and, most importantly, by simply being there.

We are so grateful to every person who has walked through our doors, volunteered their time, supported our work, shared our message, donated or helped create a community where talking about mental health is welcomed.

Four years. Thousands of conversations. Countless connections. One community. 💛

Thank you, Busselton, for believing in the importance of a safe space.

Here's to continuing to shine a light on mental health, reducing isolation and reminding people that you don't have to face things alone.

🌻 Happy 4th Birthday to Busselton Community Safe Space.

🚨 THE OBSERVER’S SUNDAY SHOUT OUTS🚨

BUSSELTON COMMUNITY SAFE SPACE

SOMETIMES THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN GIVE SOMEONE IS A PLACE TO SIT AND SOMEONE WHO GIVES A S**T.

BUSSELTON, WA.

This week we’re shouting out a group of local legends who deserve a bloody enormous round of applause.

Busselton Community Safe Space.

And what they’re doing is pretty bloody special.

It started with seven people who understood what it felt like to struggle with mental health.

Instead of sitting around waiting for somebody else to fix things, they built something for their community.

A safe place.

No appointments.

No bills.

No mountains of paperwork.

No judgement.

Just real people who have experienced some of life’s darkest moments, giving their time to make sure somebody else doesn’t have to face theirs alone.

Every Friday evening, trained volunteers open the doors to anyone who needs emotional support.

You don’t even have to talk.

You can sit quietly, have a cuppa, play a game or simply exist somewhere you feel welcome.

And f**k me, sometimes that’s worth more than people realise.

These aren’t counsellors pretending to have all the answers.

They’re people with lived experience who understand that sometimes you don’t need another lecture.

You just need somebody to listen.

AND HERE’S THE PART WE REALLY LOVE.

This organisation relies on volunteers, community donations and fundraising to keep doing what it does.

They’re working towards expanding their services, growing their volunteer team and securing a permanent home.

Because apparently having a heart of gold doesn’t automatically pay the electricity bill.

So if you’re a local business looking for something genuinely worthwhile to support, or somebody with a bit of time to give, go and have a look at what these legends are doing.

BUSSELTON COMMUNITY SAFE SPACE

📍 226 Bussell Highway, West Busselton, behind LAMP’s offices.

🕠 Fridays, 5:30 pm to 9 pm.

💚 Free. Confidential. No appointment needed.

🌐 www.busseltoncss.com.au

TO EVERY VOLUNTEER INVOLVED:

You might never know how much your kindness means to somebody.

But showing up, listening and making people feel less alone matters.

And we reckon that’s something worth celebrating.

GOOD ON YA, BUSSELTON COMMUNITY SAFE SPACE.

Love,

The Dunsborough Observer

Breathe. Move. Grow. Happening this afternoon before we open our doors for our regular Friday evening! Here’s some more info about the session and our facilitator, Richard. No need to book. It’s free, just come along as you are!

04/10/2026

As part of WA Mental Health Week we're providing a workshop this coming Friday afternoon before we open Safe Space for the evening. We would really love to see you there!

Breathwork Journey Through Body, Mind & Soul

Embodiment • Presence • Inner Exploration • Connection

Join Richard Smart from Breathe. Move. Grow. for an experiential and embodied journey through breath, movement and self-exploration.

We’ll begin by coming into the body through simple embodiment and nervous-system regulation practices, before moving into gentle movement and a guided breathwork journey.

From there, you’ll have the opportunity to sit or lie down and allow the breath to take you deeper. Through rhythmic, conscious breathing, music and guided exploration, we’ll journey from body, through mind, toward soul- creating space to explore the stories and patterns we carry, reconnect with what is meaningful, and listen more deeply to ourselves.

This isn’t simply about learning a breathing technique. It’s an opportunity to experience the breath as a doorway into presence - to slow down, move beneath some of the noise of everyday life and reconnect with deeper layers of yourself.

Come exactly as you are.

No previous breathwork experience is necessary. You’ll be welcomed into a supportive community space where you can participate at your own pace, explore the breath and see where the journey takes you.
