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
🎟️ Tickets: Free – Registration essential

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:
💙 5 things you can see
🧡 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.

💛R U OK?💛

Today is R U OK? Day but you don’t need to wait for one day to start up a conversation when you spot the signs that someone might be struggling.

Take the steps to start an R U OK? conversation

💛Step one: ask them how they are going.
💛Step two: listen, let them know you are there for them if they need to talk more.
💛Step three: gently encourage them to take action, can they seek help, do they want to?
💛Step four: check back in, see how they are doing.

A small act of starting a conversation could have a big impact in someone's life.
