Getting sufficient sleep is essential for both our physical and mental well-being.

It enhances mood, cognitive function, and immune response, facilitating growth and repair.

While achieving a restful night's sleep can be challenging, it is certainly possible.

You can try to:
💤 keep a consistent bed and wake time, focus on sticking to the routine
💤use your energy throughout the day
💤avoid consuming too much caffeine
💤reduce exposure to bright lights at night (like blue lights emitted from phones).

Head over to our website mindmap.act.gov.au for more tips on restful sleep strategies.

If you are looking for advice about mental health services in Canberra, you can also speak with one of our Youth Navigators seven days a week, between 11am to 10pm on 1800 862 111 or via webchat on our website.

🎒Tips for a Smooth Transition Back to School🎒

Returning to school after a lengthy break can be challenging, but there are effective strategies to ease the transition.

📝Establish a Routine! Consistency is key! Set a regular bedtime and wake-up time leading up to the start of school. This will help you readjust and feel more organised.

📝Take a Deep Breath! Practicing mindfulness techniques can be beneficial when you start to feel overwhelmed. Check out helpful resources on mindfulness at the MindMap website.

📝Plan Ahead! Whether you're planning a few days, a week, a month, or even the entire year in advance, being proactive will help you stay focused and organised with school tasks.

Join us for a free screening of the ground-breaking documentary "Seen".

This deeply moving film is more than just a screening; it’s a call to action for families, services, and communities to consider how we support children, particularly those facing adversity. Seen explores the transformative power of personal healing for parents and its scientifically proven impact on parenting and child brain development. By addressing the often-overlooked journey of parents confronting their own childhood coping mechanisms, it fills a critical gap in today’s mental health narratives.

Event Details:
📅 Date: Tuesday, 28 October 2025
🕔 Time: Arrival and check-in from 5:15 PM | Film screening begins at 5:30 PM
📍 Location: Azure Community Centre - 255 Goyder Street, Narrabundah

The evening will begin with a brief introduction, followed by the film screening
and conclude with a Q&A session and casual conversations with MCCG’s
child, youth, and family programs.

Grounding techniques are great for handling stress, anxiety and strong emotions. They can help you focus on the present and feel more stable.

If you are starting to feel overwhelmed, try to identify:

🧡 4 things you can feel
💛 3 things you can hear
💚 2 things you can smell and
💜 1 thing you can taste

This sensory exercise can help draw your attention away from distressing thoughts.
