Exciting news! Brighter Minds Counselling is moving!

After 4 awesome years in our Woongarra Street office, we are heading over to the Business HQ on the corner of Quay and Tantitha Streets in town!

Although the change will be tricky for some, we are really looking forward to setting up our new space and getting back into it asap for you all!

You may even see Miss Jess popping in and out this week as everything gets boxed and ready to shuffle over the weekend and early next week!

We will be closed Friday this week (28th November) through until Monday (1st December) reopening on Tuesday 2nd December (we will let everyone know of any changes)!

Our new space (starting next week) is upstairs in Suite 16. The building entrance is on Quay Street (with PLENTY of parking around thankfully!), and bathrooms for clients can be found on the ground floor. The beautiful ladies at reception will be able to direct you to our rooms and once the new signage is in, it'll be much easier to locate us!

Reminders:
• Parents, please encourage your young people to head to the bathroom before sessions as it will now be a longer disruption to sessions if we have to walk them downstairs to access them during their therapy time.
• Parking around the building is available, but remember to keep an eye on how long you've been there to avoid tickets! Council are cracking down apparently!
• Please be mindful of noise when passing the surrounding businesses when accessing our new location as there are several others around us!

Everyone is different. Everyone has their own timeline. It is in our nature to compare ourselves to others, I know, it is hard to avoid. But YOUR timeline is exactly that. Do what you can, when you can and that is all you need to do! Your life is yours and you are incredible!

It is important to remember that kids and teens read off adults emotions: responding with harsh negativity or escalated speech can sometimes worsen the situation. We have to remember that in these situations especially, WE are the adults, the ones needing to regulate our own speech, actions and behaviours in order to help understand why our young people are reacting in such a way. 😊

How cool are these breathing buddies! We have made these in sessions before but thought we would share the idea for others to use at home! Now, we personally think that you can't go wrong with a dragon 🐉, but imagine all the creatures you could make with some time and crafting materials! Remember to ask an adult for help if needed and to send us photos of your breathing buddy creations!

Have you spent time in nature today? 🌲🌳🌿🍂🌼🌷

Being outside is an excellent way to reset our body, connect with ourselves and the world around us, ground and relax.

Here are some suggestions for "outside time" no matter what the weather:
- Stand in the rain, enjoy the cold drops on your face, arms, and back; smell the fresh grass and listen for those gorgeous little green frogs croaking away in celebration!
- Find a shaded tree to sit under and listen to the leaves moving above you. Are they green and soft moving against one another? Or has our harsh spring heat gotten the best of them and they sound hard and scratchy?
- Find a spot it sit in the grass; place your hands down on either side of you and feel the connection of the ground to your body. Watch for ants and crickets and other insects moving around nearby as they go about their lives.
- Find a comfortable spot to be in and watch the clouds above; ask your parents if they spent time as a child looking for shapes and animals in the clouds! They may like to sit with you and help you see the outlines of an elephant or a kitchen sink in the sky above!
- Watch (from a safe spot) as light seems to break lines in the sky! An electrical storm can be frightening or overstimulating for some, with bright lightning strikes and loud thunder; but for others it can be intriguing or even relaxing to watch the white, purple and yellow strikes moving about the sky. According to google, for every second between a flash of lightning and the boom of thunder the storm distance is about 343m from where you are. Can you figure out how far away the storm is?
