Take Charge Wellbeing, Perth (2026)

Back in with the ATCO crews this week working on de-escalation and communication skills that help not just at work but in our personal lives too.

The main takeaways for the workshop are-
Control the controllables when things get heated.
Pause.
Regulate yourself first.
Respond from a place of understanding and try to see where the other person is coming from.

We collaborated and customised the training to make it relatable specifically for their staff and the pressures of their industry.

High pressure environments.
Gas leaks in public spaces.
Broken gas pipes.
People having their gas turned off.
Confusion. Frustration. Communication breaking down.

The crews have been great,having honest conversations and challenging themselves.

And that’s how communication improves and sometimes there’s no need for actual de- escalation as it doesn’t reach that point.

I tip my hat to who have invested in all their field staff to complete the training.

This weekend was another reminder of why I feel so grateful to do the ‘job’ I have.

Through , we delivered a two day course to an incredible group of locals who gave up their weekend to build real skills in supporting others with mental health challenges.

Great conversations. Honest discussions. Confidence built. Connections formed.

Sixteen more people in our community now feel more equipped to recognise when someone might be struggling, start a conversation, and respond in a practical, evidence based way.

Thank you to everyone who committed their time and for those who made it happen. Weekends are precious. And you chose to invest yours back into the community happy days 😊

I’m also delivering a public Mental Health First Aid course on March 21 and 22 in the CBD, heavily subsidised by Charity to make it more accessible.

If cost has ever been the barrier, this is a great opportunity. It runs across the weekend as well, so no need to take time off work. https://lnkd.in/gQiDNK6B

I was recently honoured to be named Citizen of the Year by the .

I wanted to share this as a reflection on what volunteering has given me.

From a purely selfish point of view, I like helping people.
It makes me feel good.
It fills my cup.
Whether it’s spending time with the awesome people at , sitting in a men’s circle with and hearing a bloke say, I’ve had it pretty rough lately, this is exactly what I needed, or planning community events with , those moments of connection matter deeply to me.

In the past, I’ve felt overwhelmed by the amount of pain and suffering we see every day around the world. I’ve often found that disempowering. What I’ve learned, though, is that real change doesn’t have to be global. It can start right on our own doorstep. Imagine the footprint if everyone did something small, where they live.

Volunteering doesn’t have to mean starting an organisation or taking on something huge. It might be hosting a games night, helping with care packs, or lending your time locally in a small but meaningful way.

There are far too many names to mention here, but I want to say a genuine thank you to everyone who gives their time, energy, and care to the groups I’ve spent time with. This recognition belongs to all of you just as much as it does to me.

I also want to thank the City of Bayswater for the continued support of community initiatives like Bayswater Blokes.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved in your community but weren’t sure where to start, is a great option, or feel free to reach out and have a chat.

Sometimes helping others is also how we help ourselves.

Buzzing way to start the year 😊

I’ll admit, I was curious how this would land online.
It landed well 😊

What started years ago as a face to face beginner public speaking workshop has now been delivered online with Rail’s HSE team across the APAC region, supporting team members in Taiwan, China, India, and across Australia.

Face to face is still my first choice, but online delivery is a very close second when teams are spread across time zones and countries.

Public speaking in workplaces is rarely about stages or spotlights.
It’s about speaking clearly in meetings, explaining risk, handling questions, and feeling less in your head when you’re put on the spot.

Huge thanks to the Hitachi HSE team for their openness, energy, and engagement 🙏

Back up to Karratha delivering Mental Health First Aid and what a great way to kick off the year.

I love the energy in these courses. People show up curious, open, and genuinely wanting to support each other better.

Participants learn how to recognise early signs of mental health challenges, have confident conversations, respond to crises, and guide people toward the right support.

The impact goes far beyond the workplace.
These skills travel home into families, friendships, sporting clubs, and everyday life.

Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, asked great questions, and leaned into the learning. A brilliant reminder of why this work matters so much 😊

Our final Men’s BBQ for 2025 was held yesterday, with 17 men coming through over the course of the morning.

It’s been a great year for our BBQs.
Friendships have formed, hundreds of sausages have been eaten, and a genuine sense of community has grown.

A huge thank you to for your continued support and sponsorship throughout 2025. If you have any bearded people in your life, they are well worth checking out for a Christmas present.

Thank you also to for your generosity and donating the sausages. They were something special and a big hit on the day. Check out their amazing food.

And a big thanks to .marchant.photography who gave up his Sunday morning to support a group of blokes and capture the spirit of the event.as you can see the photos are top quality so hit him up if you’re looking for a photographer.

Our mission has always been to create a place of community and connection, and this year we have truly done that.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Men’s BBQs throughout the year.

Our next BBQ will be held on Sunday 18 January.🙏❤️🎅

A big thank you to Luke and the team at Sequence Alliance for such a welcoming and engaging group.

Every session reinforces this for me. When people feel safe, respected, and supported, the learning goes deeper. Conversations open up. Confidence grows. And people lean into the skills rather than just ticking a box.

It was great to see everyone engaging with the content, asking thoughtful questions, and practising how to support others in real world situations.

Mental health skills matter. And so does the environment we learn them in. This group nailed both.

Thanks again and team for creating such a supportive space.🫶

An incredible two Neurodiversity@ Work sessions with the staff at Sequence Alliance.

We spoke about understanding common neurodivergent conditions, their strengths, and how they show up in the workplace.
We looked at what real communication and practical support can look like across a neurodiverse team.
And we kept coming back to the two foundations that make everything easier: KINDNESS and CURIOSITY.
When we anchor into these values, communication becomes clearer, inclusion becomes natural, and understanding becomes part of everyday culture.

A huge thank you to and the whole Sequence Alliance team for making this happen. Your drive to build an inclusive, safe workplace is infectious!

Over the weekend, these wonderful humans came together in the Perth CBD for the First Aid course.

It was great to see some familiar faces and to meet some new people. Everyone showed up ready to learn how to support friends, family, and workmates, and they made it an absolute pleasure to teach.

A big thank you to charity for making this possible. .perrett shared some powerful insights into the work they’re doing and how it all began. Make sure to give them a follow to keep up with the impact they’re creating.
mc leaders were also in the room. Another group doing important work in the men’s space. Well worth a follow if you’re not already connected.
Lunchtime landed fortunately as we were able to support Perth’s own JDM!
Very grateful, feeling full, and proud of the energy everyone brought across the weekend.🙏
