Every woman and girl, no matter their background or identity, should be safe, heard and free to shape their own future.

This year’s UN Women Australia theme, Balance the Scales, reminds us that dignity, safety and fairness should never depend on who you are. Too many women and girls still face violence, discrimination and barriers to justice.

At Relationships Australia Canberra & Regions and the ACT Gambling Support Service, we’re proud to support women across our community and to keep working towards a safer, fairer future for all. 💙💜

Love languages can help us understand each other — but healthy relationships also need clear boundaries, respect and safety. 💙

Knowing how your partner feels loved is important, but so is recognising and honouring their limits. Everyone deserves to feel safe, heard and respected in their relationships.

If you’ve experienced, witnessed or used violence or abuse, support is available. Our specialist family violence counselling service can help you work through trauma, manage conflict and build safer relationships.

Identity-affirming relationships can be deeply healing. In LGBTQIA+ couples, mutual respect for each other’s identity strengthens connection, resilience and mental wellbeing. Affirmation can reduce minority stress and help people feel safer, seen and supported in their relationship.

Looking for some support? We offer inclusive, affirming counselling for individuals, couples and families of all identities and relationship types. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We recently attended New Beginnings: Celebrating Australia, joining community members and organisations for a warm and thoughtful evening of connection. 💙🧡

The night featured a Welcome to Country, storytelling, panel conversations, music and a shared dinner, creating space to listen, reflect and learn from First Nations culture and the many diverse voices within our community.

Today we were at Kooringal Kicks & Tricks! Even with the heat meaning we had to shift indoors, the energy never dropped. The turnout was deadly and the smiles on our young people said it all.

We ran a Relax-Station, a beautiful space with mindful potting, calm moments, and a chance for young people to reset. Like sunflowers, our kids grow towards the light when they’re surrounded by love, safety and community. 🌻💛
