Masking isn’t misbehaviour. It’s not attention-seeking. And it’s not a child “coping just fine.”

It’s often a sign that a child is working incredibly hard to fit into environments that don’t fully meet their needs.

When we look a little closer, we begin to see the skill behind the struggle — the adaptability, the awareness, the effort it takes to hold everything together.

But children shouldn’t have to survive by hiding who they are.

With the right understanding, those same skills can be gently reshaped into healthy, supported ways of coping — ones that don’t come at the cost of their wellbeing.

If this resonates, you’re not alone — and there are ways to support your child without asking them to mask who they are.

SCOPE SAVE THE DATE 🤗🤗

SCOPE is a 3-day theatre workshop intensive in visual storytelling for young Deaf and hard-of-hearing people. We gather to see and to uncover the infinite possibilities of each individual’s identity through visual vernacular, confidence to be yourself and using imagination to discover Deaf and hard of hearing perspectives.

Deaf and hard-of-hearing participants will share their scope of: "I can. I dream. I uncover” over the 3 days and at the end of the workshop, will tell their story to an audience so people can see the world through their own eyes. SCOPE is led by Deaf actor and leader Tony Moore. SCOPE is suitable for primary and secondary students.

This year, Crossroad Arts is excited to welcome Deaf graffiti artist Jaycob Campbell (GONKETA/ Melbourne) and Deaf visual artist Luke King (Melbourne) as guest artists who will work alongside Tony Moore. 😀⭐🤚✊👌

Participants will learn new skills and have a showing at the end of the 3 days for the whole community.

Dates: Friday 10 April, Saturday 11 April, Sunday 12 April

Where: 58 Macalister St, Mackay (Senior Citizen's Hall)

Time: 9.30am-4.30pm
