This International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day Saturday, November 22, 2025 StandBy invites you to S.H.A.R.E with us as we come together to Support, Honour, Acknowledge, Remember, Empower our stories and voices. 💜
International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day is an important annual awareness day to bring together those who have been bereaved by su***de to connect and share their experiences and insights, find comfort and care, and reduce stigma by normalising conversations around su***de loss.

This November, we invite you to walk 3.2km to show your support for those bereaved by su***de and to honour the lives lost.

Whether you choose to walk a little each day, complete the full 3.2km on November 22, share the distance with friends, or connect over a cuppa and conversation, we hope that you find a way to share whenever, wherever and however feels right to you. 💙

We have 4 days left to sign this petition.

Clare’s Law, formally called the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS), enables people to access vital information about a partner’s history of abusive behaviour, supporting safer decisions and early intervention.

We are asking for consistent, nationwide implementation so all Australians have access to this vital safety measure.

We lose too many women and children to family violence. It's time to make women safer. Please sign.

This ended up being the donation for the Mental Health and Wellbeing Expo Murray Bridge raffle last Friday.
It feels good to be in a position to give to the community that supports me.
I really hope the voucher gets used. Sometimes they don't.
Stay tuned for next year's raffle prize - it will be a way away.

Friday 10 October. Just around the corner. There will be raffles.

I am gifting this bundle.
I use this Saint Belford planner because it keeps me accountable and they are soooo pretty. My 2026 is bright pink!
I can't wait to work with someone that is ready to fly!
I love what I do and I've been told I am pretty good at it! 😝

Another opportunity on the main street of Mannum. Come and join us for chats and coffee? I can’t wait to meet with you.

If you know anyone that could benefit from being heard but might be resistant, please suggest picking them up and bringing them along. Promise it’s all very casual and quite non threatening.

I made this video yesterday. It’s 10 minutes. I do some tapping.

Give it a go. It’s heavy.
It might make also make you feel better.

As always reach out if you need to.

Even more reasons for separate professional supervision, when 1 in 3 would not feel comfortable talking to their manager about burnout. Having worked in NGO's myself, I am well aware of the bandaid effect some organisations offer. Constantly being in the position of "helping" people in crisis is damaging to your health.

I would love for you to contact me to talk about supervision.
