Many of you may not be familiar with the incredible work of the Lake Macquarie & Newcastle Su***de Prevention Network.

Yesterday, I had the distinct honour of speaking at their Annual Charity Lunch and sharing a little about how nature-based approaches to psychology are helping to increase access to meaningful mental health support within our community.

What struck me deeply was the genuine care, compassion, and commitment in the room. It was a privilege to meet some of the dedicated staff and volunteers, alongside people with lived and living experience of the impacts of su***de. Their stories, insights, and passion for supporting others were both humbling and inspiring.

The Newcastle and Lake Macquarie Su***de Prevention Network is a truly community-centred organisation, providing support, connection, and hope to some of our most vulnerable community members when it is needed most.

A heartfelt thank you for the opportunity to be involved and to learn more about the remarkable work being done every day to strengthen and support our community.

How we care for our bodies, our minds, and each other truly matters.

I’ve just returned after a week away from the office and was reminded how deeply restorative it can be to rest, play, and reconnect with the things that bring joy and balance.

On World Mental Health Day, take a moment to pause and reflect - What’s one small thing you can do today that supports your wellbeing?

Maybe it’s taking a quiet walk, reaching out to someone you care about, or giving yourself permission to rest. The small things really are the big things. 🌿
