What happens when students are given the chance to speak up and make a difference?

Grade 5/6 students at Pascoe Vale North Primary School are taking part in our Healthy Schools program this year, with The Workshop Melbourne.

They’re building confidence, learning about fairness and respect, challenging stereotypes, and leading projects to create positive change in their school.

Over 445,000 people are impacted by and live with dementia in Australia. People like Roger.

Roger was just 64 when he received this life-changing diagnosis. With support from Holstep Health’s Memory and Dementia Service, he and his family worked with a team of health professionals to restore his independence, adapt to change, and reconnect with his hobbies.

Roger's son, Maculey, told us "[Holstep's Memory and Dementia Service] has really enhanced Dad's life and taken things off my plate."

Today is World Down Syndrome Day! A day to celebrate inclusion, rights, and belonging for people with Down syndrome.

This year’s theme, Together Against Loneliness, reminds us how powerful connection can be. Sue and Nick, siblings who support each other through life’s ups and downs, show just that.

Read their story: https://loom.ly/Mdp8NwU

Like many carers, Sue’s journey began gradually. As her mother aged, Sue started helping to care for her brother Nick, who has Down syndrome.

At Holstep Health, we’re committed to closing the health gap by supporting respectful, culturally safe care and opportunities.
