For children affected by family violence, feelings aren’t always easy to name. They may show up through behaviour, silence, worry, anger, fear, sadness or overwhelm. Creative modalities give children another way in. Through drawing, play, colour, storytelling and making, children can begin to express what they feel, build a sense of safety and name emotions in ways that feel manageable.

These school holidays, our expressive therapist Liz has been running creative workshops with children connected to a local women’s shelter, using activities designed to support emotional expression, connection and regulation.

Around 60% of the families KidsXpress supports have been impacted by family violence, and we work closely with local DFV services and interagency networks to help children and families access support when they need it.

Sometimes healing starts with words. Sometimes it starts with colour, glue, paper, feathers, monsters, feelings bottles and a safe adult beside you.

20 songs for 20 years of KidsXpress. 🎶🎉

To mark our 20th birthday, we asked people across the KidsXpress community to choose one song that connects with our values: curiosity, creativity, courage, connection and care.

The result is a playlist that carries pieces of our story: the people, places and moments that have shaped KidsXpress over the past two decades.

Listen to our 20th birthday playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1QxgOUEWq18clV9lzkwZn2?si=45ef1a39d8224d22

Over the coming weeks, we’ll share some of the stories behind the songs, and the people who chose them.

Happy listening. ❤️

This Thank You Thursday, we're sending our heartfelt thanks to the incredible students, staff, and wider school community at McAuley Catholic College Tumut for their generous donation to KidsXpress.

Following an inspiring presentation by local community member Tony Butler, students embraced the College's values by turning their learning into action, coming together to make a generous donation that will help children and young people in their community heal, build resilience, and thrive.

It's inspiring to see young people demonstrate such compassion and a genuine commitment to making a difference. Their generosity is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when a community comes together with kindness and purpose.

To everyone at McAuley Catholic College, thank you for your generosity, your compassion, and for showing that every act of giving has the power to make a lasting impact.

In just six months, KidsXpress provided face-to-face expressive therapy to 492 children. Real clinicians. Real sessions. Tailored support, for as long as each child needed it.

Through our school programs, this support is provided at no cost to families - and every donation helps us reach more children who need support.

This is what early intervention looks like. And it’s only possible because of people who choose to give.

If you’ve been meaning to support KidsXpress this year, tonight is the moment.

Every gift is tax-deductible. Every gift helps us reach a child.

492 children received face-to-face expressive therapy through KidsXpress in just the first six months of 2026.

Not a referral to another service.

Not a phone number to call.

Not a link to an app.

A real clinician. Tailored support. For as long as each child needed it.

These are primary school-aged children, 12 and under, who arrived carrying things no child should have to carry alone.

This is what early intervention looks like in practice.

Through our school programs, children receive this support at no cost to their families, and across KidsXpress, every gift helps make therapy more accessible for children who need it.

If you’re in a position to give before 30 June, your donation is tax-deductible this financial year.
