💙 MOVEMBER 💙

🥸 It’s not always easy to speak up when life gets tough. A simple check-in with your mates can make a big difference.

🥸 The Movember campaign reminds us all to year-round keep an eye out for the signs, start the chat, and remind our people they’re not alone & that it’s not weak to speak up if they’re struggling. Who will you be checking in on? 💙

💚2025 World Mental Health Day 💚

⭐️Today - 10/10/25⭐️

💫 This year’s theme for World Mental Health Day is “Connect with your community”. 💫

💚 The Limestone Coast does lots of great community connection work, but there’s always more we can do!

🌿 The objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilise efforts in support of mental health.

🌿 World Mental Health Day provides an opportunity for community members and people working in mental health to talk about the importance of mental health, and what more needs to be done to make access to mental health care a reality for people worldwide.

🤝 Connecting with our communities – the people and places where we feel safe, seen and heard – can help us feel cared for and supported, which is good for our mental health.

✅ A community can take any shape. Community can mean:
* friends, loved ones, your mob
* multicultural centre
* community choir
* community garden
* book club
* running group
* local volunteer group
* LGBTQIA+ group

💚 At home, work, school, in the community or online, on 10 October, Mental Health Australia encourages everyone to have conversations about mental health, reduce stigma, reach out for support – and connect with our communities.

💚 Let’s all keep doing our share to help our community stay connected & well.

💚OCTOBER IS MENTAL HEALTH MONTH - “CONNECTING WHEN IT COUNTS”💚

🌿 Mental Health Month is a national event that happens every October that aims to improve community awareness and interest in mental health and wellbeing.

🤝 The 2025 theme for South Australia’s Mental Health Month is ‘Connecting When It Counts’.

💬 Quite often when we talk about mental health we talk about it when we’re not travelling well. But mental health isn’t just about tough times — it’s about building meaningful connections throughout life’s pivotal moments. Connecting When It Counts reminds us that timely conversations about our mental wellbeing can make all the difference.

💚 This Mental Health Month, let’s commit to connecting when it counts. A simple conversation might seem small, but its impact on someone’s mental health journey can be profound and lasting.

💚We would like to introduce Nikki, who has been working with FeelBetter for two years now. We are very lucky to have Nikki on board as part of our growing therapy team! Nikki's bio is below:

"Hi I'm Nikki,

I began my journey at FeelBetter Limestone Coast in an administrative role, but as our services expanded, I transitioned into a multifaceted position as a Therapy Assistant, Mentor, and Support Worker. In this capacity, I work primarily with children and adolescents, focusing on capacity building tailored to each individual’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.

My approach is grounded in empathy, adaptability, and evidence-informed strategies, supported by my completion of Play Therapy training . I am also a proud member of Allied Health Assistants National Association reflecting my commitment to professional standards and ongoing development and hold my first aid certification.

I’m preparing to commence my Bachelor of Social Work to deepen my knowledge and expand my ability to support others in a therapeutic and community setting. Helping people has always been a driving force for me, and I’m excited to continue turning that passion into meaningful, long-term impact.

Fun fact: I originally intended to pursue a career in forensic anthropology, but my path shifted after joining the team at FeelBetter Limestone Coast—where I discovered my true calling in helping others thrive".

💚Thankyou Nikki for your ongoing dedication to your varied FeelBetter roles, and we know that our clients appreciate your support very much!

🎒Carrying stress around is heavy work!

🙌 You’re not alone — you don’t have to carry it forever. What a relief!

‼️ Stressful life experiences — big or small — can quietly build up over time. When we don’t process them, they weigh us down emotionally, mentally, and physically.

🤔 You might notice stress within symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, poor sleep, anger, attempting to cope in negative ways such as with alcohol, gambling, impulse spending, or just feeling “not yourself.”

💬 Therapy offers a safe, non-judgemental space to unpack what’s been sitting heavy on your mind.

💚 Together, we begin to process and release what is weighing us down. What a relief that is.

✅ Therapy will help you to understand what’s going on beneath the surface and give you strategies to cope better in the future.

You don’t have to do it alone.
📍Our highly experienced therapists are here to support you — one step at a time.

😴Having Sleep and Mental Health Struggles? Therapy Can Help 🌙

💙 You don’t have to push through alone. Therapy can help you feel clearer, calmer, and yes — sleep better too.

🫩If you’re lying awake at night, overthinking…
Waking up tired no matter how long you slept…
Feeling flat, wired, or emotionally drained…
It might be more than just “bad sleep.”
💡It might be your mental health asking for support.

🧠 Mental health challenges like anxiety, stress, and depression often go hand-in-hand with poor sleep. In turn, poor sleep makes it harder to cope emotionally, think clearly, and feel in control of your day.

💬 This is where therapy can make a real difference.
At Feel Better Limestone Coast, therapy offers a safe, confidential space where you can:
• Engage in therapy to treat what’s been keeping you up at night
• Understand how thoughts, emotions, trauma (old & new) and stress affect your body and sleep
• Learn practical tools to manage anxiety and low mood
• Break the cycle of exhaustion, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm
• Feel more balanced, calmer, and better rested

💚 Therapy isn’t just about solving one problem — it’s about supporting the whole of you: your sleep, your mental health, and your overall well-being.

🎓 End of Secondary School Preparation 🧠📘

📚As the end of high school & exam season approaches, it’s normal for students to feel under increased pressure.

📝 With study demands, deadlines, work, sport, other activities and planning for life after school — it can all become a bit overwhelming.

💚 Engaging in therapy can provide valuable support to help young people manage pressure, reduce anxiety, and build confidence as they manage assignment deadlines, prepare for exams, and greet the end of high school, which is a major life transition phase.

🤔 How therapy can help:
✅ Reduce stress – which improves sleep, concentration, and memory for more effective study
✅ Build coping strategies – to manage exam pressure and balance study with other commitments
✅ Increase confidence and motivation – helping students feel more in control and capable
✅ Support emotional wellbeing – to reduce anxiety and promote calm, focused thinking
✅ Provide a safe, confidential space – where young people can talk openly, problem-solve, and gain perspective

Therapy isn’t just for when things feel ‘too much’ — it’s also a proactive, positive step to support mental health and overall wellbeing when things are going well, to prepare for times of predicted increased stress.
