With things getting blowy around the state you might be dealing with some worried or anxious kids. Here's a couple of ways to help them through - and remember, the Ngala Parenting Line will be open from 8am to 8pm every day, so you can always call us for more tips 📱

- Acknowledge their feelings and empathise with them
- Don't avoid it - talk to them in a reassuring way and let them know what to expect
- Remain calm yourself, kids will often mirror your behaviour

There is also a great resource in the comments, providing guidance on how to prepare your child for a cyclone and reassure themđź’ś

For everyone being affected please keep an eye on the Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA page or the Emergency WA app for updates on alerts.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Each month we get around 800 calls to our free Parenting Line and what we're seeing are major mental health concerns from WA parents.

From last financial year we have recorded:
- 47% increase in parents self-reporting experiencing anxiety
- 118% increase in issues relating to child mental health
- 44% of calls involving parental mental health

Thanks to Channel 7 for highlighting these challenges in their report last night. If you are a parent needing support, we're here for you. Our free Parenting Line is available every day of the year between 8am to 8pm and is staffed by experienced, qualified professionals.

Don't wait, call us early and call us often on 9368 9368. We can help - and if we can't, we will put you in touch with people who can.

We also want to acknowledge our event sponsors and thank them for their support - and .australia.

Following our recent update on the Kensington Facility refurbishment, we’re pleased to share another meaningful update on the project.

As part of the refurbishment, we’ve donated a range of items to organisations making a real difference in our community.

Laptops have been gratefully received by Centre for Accessibility Australia, with their CEO noting they will make a significant difference to the lives of people living with disability.

We’ve also donated furniture to Starting Over Support, which has already gone to assist families in crisis as they rebuild safe and stable homes.

We’re delighted that these items have found new homes where they’re needed most, supporting organisations that create lasting positive change. 💜

In Season 1 of Parenting with Ngala, Child Health Nurse Kate spoke about the fourth trimester, which is the newborn phase of the first three months. She explains how creating a cosy womb-like environment during this period can help with settling your baby to sleep. This can look like:
đź’śSwaddling or gentle wrapping
đź’śSkin-to-skin cuddles
đź’śRhythmic movement
đź’śShushing or white noise
đź’śFeeding and sucking

After months of planning and design development, we’re thrilled to share that our Kensington Facility refurbishment project is underway!

This transformation will create a secure, contemporary and comfortable space for our clients, as well as a modern workplace for our corporate team.

A heartfelt thank you to Lotterywest and the Ngala Board for making this significant project possible. We also acknowledge Newton Design Studio for their collaborative work on design and project management, and extend our gratitude to Ramsay Health Care, South Perth Hospital and Glengarry Private Hospital for supporting us to continue service delivery throughout construction.

In Parenting with Ngala – Season 1, Episode 8, Keith from our DadsWA program unpacks why co-parenting matters.

When parenting partners are included, listened to, and treated as part of the team, the mental and emotional load is shared, rather than being carried by one person.
