✨Participant Highlight: Meet Tony!✨

Tony’s growth over the past months has been amazing to watch. He previously engaged in limited supports each week, today, he has expanded his support days, attends his day program regularly, and has begun connecting with others and participating socially with growing confidence.

Last week, Tony took a bold step and submitted his artwork to the program’s exhibition, and we’re excited to share that one of his pieces was sold! 👏✨🎨
Tony is making great progress toward his goals of:
1️⃣ Building confidence in social situations and strengthening his relationships with others
2️⃣ Taking part in more activities that inspire and interest him

We’re so proud of Tony and all he’s achieving! 💙🧡💚

💙🌏International Day of People with Disability - 3 December 2025🌏💙

Today we recognise International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), a United Nations-observed day dedicated to promoting awareness, understanding, and acceptance of people with disability. In Australia, this represents 5.5 million people — 1 in 5 members of our community.

This year’s theme - Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress - reminds us that meaningful progress only occurs when inclusion is intentional, embedded, and sustained across every aspect of society.

IDPwD calls on all of us to champion accessibility, remove barriers, challenge discrimination, and help create environments where everyone can participate fully, equally, and with dignity.

💚 One barrier removed.
💚 One environment improved.
💚 One workplace made more welcoming.

Inclusion grows through consistent, deliberate action.

At Activated Concepts, we honour this day by living our values of Respect, Understanding, Excellence, and Wellbeing, and by celebrating the voices, contributions, and achievements of people with disability across our communities. We remain committed to strengthening disability inclusion within our services, workplaces, and wider networks.

Today, members of our team attended the ReadyUpSkills event at The Place, and it was a truly inspiring experience. We had teh opportunity to hear directly from people with lived experience, who shared powerful insights into how technology enhances independence, connection, and daily life. Their stories emphasised the impact that accessible digital tools can have in shaping inclusive futures.

The atmosphere was warm, engaging, and filled with meaningful conversations. We’re grateful to ReadyUpSkills and The Place for bringing together such a passionate and diverse community.

Together, we continue working toward a society where inclusion is universal, progress is shared, and no one is left behind. 💙💚🧡

🟦International Men’s Day – Wednesday 19 November 2025 🟦

Theme: Supporting Men and Boys

As men, we’re often taught to push feelings down, “tough it out,” or ignore what we’re really going through. But acknowledging and expressing our emotions isn’t weakness – it’s strength. We are allowed to:

- Feel what we feel
- Be honest with ourselves and others
- Support those around us in doing the same.

This November, as we celebrate Movember and focus on men’s health, let’s also celebrate the men and boys in our communities who lead by example: mentors, role models, and everyday heroes who support, listen, and care. Whether it’s starting a conversation with a mate, joining a men’s social group, or simply checking in - small actions make a big difference.

We can all make a difference. Individuals, businesses, service providers, and community groups can lead the way by:

- Valuing male role models
- Acknowledging the contributions of men and boys
- Improving male health
- Knowing your men’s health facts and sharing information
- Fostering positive gender relations
- Making the world a safer place for everyone
- Hosting forums or conversations

Maybe you just want to know how to assist a mate - how to start a conversation that could make a difference in someone’s life.

👉 Check out the How to Help a Mate guide: https://www.amhf.org.au/help_a_mate

At Activated Concepts, we recognise the importance of connection, understanding, and emotional wellbeing for everyone. Through our therapeutic and behaviour support services, we aim to foster environments where open conversations, respect, and support are encouraged. Together, we can help build stronger, healthier communities where men feel seen, valued, and supported.
💙🧡💚

Meet Jazy! 🌟

Proud is an understatement, this young lady’s journey has been incredible. Not long ago, she was experiencing multiple suspensions, frequent calls home, and extreme challenges regulating at school. Recently, she was celebrated as a poster child for Public Education Week.
Her success reflects a true team effort, her family, behaviour clinician, allied health, support staff, and the school all collaborated to create the right environment. Her determination to make friends and engage at school despite a complex diagnosis is a source of pride.

This story highlights how environmental changes and structured support can transform a child’s engagement and participation.
What environmental or support adjustments have you seen make the biggest impact on a child’s regulation and engagement at school?

Credit to a dedicated mum, the school team, and the child herself for showing what’s possible when the right supports are in place. 💙🧡💚

💛 Collaboration Creates Safety 💛

When DCJ reached out to collaborate on safety planning for a sibling group, our practitioners Clara and Alisha teamed up to lead the pre-planning process.

Together, they developed trauma-informed, practical resources to promote body safety and protective behaviours, drawing on materials from ChildSafe Australia.

This partnership highlights how collaboration across agencies can strengthen safety, connection, and wellbeing for families.
