We love hearing about how our services have improved the lives of our clients 🥰

We recently received some feedback from a client of The Way Back Support Service, which helps people rebuild following a su***de attempt or suicidal crisis.

"I'm only as strong as I am now because of your endless support, guidance, and belief in me. When others gave up on me, you didn't, and that is something that will stay with me forever."

For many, a home is simply bricks and mortar—but for Corey, it represents safety, dignity, and the opportunity to continue his recovery surrounded by peace and stability 🏠

64 flourishing artists in Wide Bay recently had the opportunity to participate in mental health art workshops, thanks to a grant from Social Shift Institute. Shelley (pictured) completed the workshop and proudly displayed her work in the final exhibition, having this to say about her experience:

"I leapt at the chance to be involved as I knew the benefits that art has on my emotional and mental state. I found the workshop stimulating and cathartic. I enjoyed interacting with other artists, realising that no matter our backgrounds and differences, we were all connected through our art. Through this experience, I have gained confidence, skills, and have noticed the impact on my general wellbeing."

Our Metro North team recently hosted a end of year celebration for clients and staff, creating a relaxed and welcoming space to connect, share conversation, and enjoy time together. They even took a moment to show off some moves on the dancefloor to the live music.

Several weeks ago, RFQ representatives met with Minister Trevor Watts to discuss RFQ’s services and capabilities, including our research partnerships and positive psychology focus. The conversation explored the value of innovative, evidence-based models that deliver measurable outcomes and support long-term community wellbeing. We also discussed the importance of collaboration across health, housing, justice, and community services, alongside approaches that build individual capacity, stability, and purpose.

Episode 5 of 'Hope Works' - a 6-part wellbeing podcast collaboration between RFQ's Interim CEO, Alex Couley and Langley Group's CEO, Sue Langley - is now available!

In the fifth episode, entitled 'Creativity and Curiosity', Alex and Sue explore the interplay between curiosity and creativity, and how we can really understand creativity in a more open way. We can all be creative in our own way to bring more fun, fluidity, energy, and wellbeing to our lives.
