A Path To Follow

18/11/2025

We adore our space in the Ormond Arcade.

As the majority of the support we provide is in community, we want to offer the space to share with our community partners.

Very reasonable rates, lovely natural light filled small group/consulting space with an adjoining office/kitchen.

Open to single sessions through to multiple days. Accessible day, night and weekends.

DM us to come and have a browse.

At the start of October I pushed myself straight through to the other side of my comfort zone; applied and was accepted as the Chapter Not For Profit for in Moorabbin.

A Path To Follow needs a community who can support it, practically and financially, to achieve its vision of community supporting each other in their wellbeing journeys.

Wow; I have been blown away by both the support of my new network, wider BNI members and my courage to sit in, at times, sob inducing discomfort to move us closer to our vision.

Between BNI and you, I never, ever forget those of you who walk beside me to make our dream a reality, we raised $3145 at the walkathon! That is equivalent to a whole year of fortnightly one to one sessions for a young person.

From the bottom of my heart 💙. Thank you.

P.S. Sophie and I will be spinning the wheel next week to see who lands the complimentary facial voucher with

Struggling with sleep?

SANE is hosting a webinar about Rest and Recovery, and how trauma, stress, and anxiety can affect sleep. Better still, they will cover what you can do about it.

When life feels heavy or your mind won’t switch off, sleep is often the first thing to go.

Associate Professor Melinda Jackson will unpack:

- How sleep and mental health affect each other
- What happens in your brain when you’re sleep-deprived
- How much sleep most adults need - and why you might need more during stressful times
- Practical, evidence-based strategies to improve your sleep
- When to seek extra support from a GP
- Reassurance that sleep struggles are common - and that small changes can make a big difference.

There’ll also be time for live Q&A, and the conversation will continue on the Forums afterwards.

This year's Mental Health Day theme was about connecting to your community, something we believe is crucial to a mentally healthy future.

Thank you to both .coffee and .bentleigh for sharing this message with your communities and inviting us in.

We are stoked they both want to participate again next year. 🙏💙👣

I know I am a week late...

I also know that those of you who are or have been carers will understand that caring doesn't fit timeframes.

It happens when it happens.

Thank you to all the carers of loved ones with mental health challenges. I don't say this from the perspective of a carer only, but of someone who still, at times, needs to be cared for.

We appreciate you.
Reach out if you need the support of a peer.

It's been a busy few weeks at A Path To Follow.
A busy that has certainly been tiring on one level but amazingly energising also.

A busy that involves genuine and authentic connection to the community does that.

We have just accepted a not for profit space in a local Business Networking International Chapter in Moorabbin; BNI - First Class.

Straight up I get to walk 20kms 🚶‍♀️😅 with our chapter's team and that enables A Path To Follow to be the beneficiary of all funds raised by and for our team!

Any support you can loan our team would be amazing; a donation, sharing of our event or maybe some loud barracking as we hit 13 kms on the 25th of October📣🙌👏.

Thank you to the team members signed up and those who have already or will support us.
We appreciate your support.

He takes a creative and flexible approach to peer support, whether playing sport with peers, helping them express themselves through video editing, or providing one-to-one supports. He is motivated to be the mentor he wished he had during tough times.

Jay loves spending time with mates, in his video creation business and going to the gym.

It is well evidenced that finding and then helps to maintain positive mental health.

This weekend I am proud to be partnering with .bentleigh and .coffee to acknowledge world mental health day and the role community plays.

We would love you to help us connect and buy a coffee or two for A Path To Follow's young people and families.

We truly thank both teams for their support and connection.
