Day 1 of EMDR Training with Caroline Burrows.

Our team has officially kicked off Day 1 of our three day EMDR training with the incredible Caroline Burrows. The team is deepening our understanding of EMDR foundations, grounding techniques, and the practical tools that support clients in processing and healing safely.

We’re excited to continue building our skills so we can bring even more evidence based, trauma informed care to our community.

More to come as we move through Day 2 and 3.

More Than Marks is a seven-week wellbeing group designed for the students of Holy Child Primary. It supports children who are strong learners but need extra help with big feelings, friendship skills, resilience, and getting along with others.

The group is run by our provisional psychologists as part of the @ Schools program, which provides free onsite support to the school and families.

This is our second semester delivering the program, and engagement has been fantastic, students are often disappointed when they miss a session due to illness or excursions.

Programs like this are made possible through the @ Schools placement initiative, which currently supports five schools across Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs.

Before you speak it, everything feels tangled.
After you share it, the colours finally make sense.

A gentle reminder that talking about what’s on your mind doesn’t make it heavier, it makes it clearer. Via

Emotions can sometimes feel like part of who we are, but they’re really just passing states like weather moving through us.

The “Be Like a Tree” an idea coined by is a metaphor which helps explain the idea of impermanence and acceptance, especially to kids.

Feeling anxious at work? You’re not alone but anxiety doesn’t have to control you. The key is spotting the signs early (like avoidance, overthinking or unhealthy coping), reframing anxious thoughts, and taking small daily steps outside your comfort zone. Anxiety isn’t always the enemy when managed well, it can actually fuel growth and resilience.

Grief isn’t only about death.

It’s the human response to loss, any loss. From the end of a relationship, to losing a job, to changes in health or identity, grief can take many forms.

The challenge is, we often don’t recognise these losses as grief. Instead, we downplay them in ourselves and in others, leaving much of this pain invisible and unsupported.

Naming and acknowledging these “other” losses is key to showing up for each other in life’s hardest moments.

Setting boundaries in relationships involves understanding your limits, clearly communicating them using “I” statements, being consistent, and respecting others’ boundaries. Healthy boundaries protect your physical and emotional well-being, foster mutual respect, and empower you to say “no” without guilt, ultimately creating a balanced and fulfilling relationship.

“I just want my kids to be happy.”
It’s a phrase we hear often. But as points out, making happiness the ultimate goal can unintentionally teach children to fear discomfort and in turn, weaken their resilience when life gets hard.

The truth is, life is difficult. Parenting isn’t about shielding kids from every challenge; it’s about helping them develop the tools to navigate those challenges with confidence, security, and self-belief.

At DKM, we see this every day in our work with families: the importance of boundaries, emotional validation, and modelling coping strategies. These build the foundation for children to become not just “happy,” but resilient, adaptive, and prepared for the realities of adulthood.
