It’s the simple things 🥹🫶🏻

Yesterday was the Neighbours Every Day annual day of action and celebration - Neighbour Day! Today we visited local businesses and organisations dropping off sweets with a kind note for connection. ✨

Simple gestures and acts of kindness are an easy way to spread connection and grow belonging! ❤️

Last week we farewelled our Chief Executive Officer, Stephanie Hodson 🤍

Over the last four years Steph has led our organisation through a significant change journey to improve our governance, sustainability and ability to respond to meet our community need.

She has made such an impact on RACR - not just as a CEO but also as a person, through her warmth, compassion and genuine care for staff and the communities we serve. Leaving a lasting legacy, her next chapter is very "Steph" full of adventure, travel and making the most of life while travelling around Australia! 🚐 🤸‍♂️

We are so grateful for Steph's leadership - not only for what she has achieved, but in how it was achieved - through connection, integrity, and a real belief in people 💗

Children and young people need safe spaces to express big feelings — especially during times of change. Giving kids the opportunity to talk about family changes can help them feel secure, understood and supported. 💬

Counselling offers a safe, supportive space for young people aged 5–18 to share what’s going on for them, build resilience and learn healthy ways to cope with challenges such as anxiety, grief, emotional regulation, school refusal and changes at home. It can also strengthen communication and relationships within families.

Family and Relationship Services are utilised by tens of thousands of Australians to reach safe, workable agreements for their separation.

They support individuals and families to resolve parenting and property matters early - reducing conflict and the need for costly litigations. They help families to stabilise during one of the hardest periods of their lives.

The sector is struggling to manage growing costs with funding that hasn't been able to keep pace. Reduction of funding for these critical services will have serious and immediate consequences for Australians.

Early support prevents escalation.

You don’t have to be the same to be compatible. 💙

Differences in personality, background or neurodiversity can strengthen relationships when they’re met with curiosity, respect and understanding — not pressure to change. Healthy relationships make space for each person to be fully themselves.

If you’re finding differences hard to navigate, support can help you build communication, connection and mutual understanding.

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. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
