Celebrating world Health Day with our lead agency Bendigo Community Health Services 💚🩵

Community need drives all that we do here at BCHS.

Today on World Health Day we recognise our 250+ team of experienced healthcare professionals. We are proud of their knowledge, understanding and commitment to deliver the services, programs and care that our community deserves.

Healthcare isn’t just about a diagnosis and treatment. It’s about feeling supported, informed and knowing that you have a say in your care.

“It’s our connection to each other that creates impact and breaks down barriers so that everyone can have the same access to healthcare,” says BCHS CEO Mandy Hutchinson. “Today, and every day, no matter who you are, where you live or how much you earn, we are here for you.”

Recently Haylee and Maree attended Trobe University, Bendigo and presented to the Lifeskills students 💚💚💚
Haylee and Maree agreed the presentation was one of their favorites as the students were so engaged and felt comfortable enough to share some of their experiences. 🙏🙌
We covered all things headspace Bendigo with a special focus on Diversity and pronouns. 🌈
The best part of the presentation was coming together at the end and dancing with the group to the song, "Lean on Me" 💚🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

On this International Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate and stand with trans and gender diverse young people 💛

Now more than ever, showing up matters. That could look like checking in on a trans friend, attending a local event, or taking time to learn from organisations like Minus18 and Transcend Australia.

If you or a young person in your life need support, headspace is here. We’re committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of trans and gender diverse young people. Visit your nearest headspace centre or head to the link in bio to connect with a health professional.
