💚 Team Milestones Time! 🎉

This month, we asked the question - What have you learned through your work with Young Minds. Our amazing OT and Clinical Lead, Karlee Wiles (who has now been with us for 6 YEARS!) had this to say:

"WOW - I can't believe it's been 6 years. The biggest thing I have learned - How vital a multidisciplinary approach is in ensuring holistic support for clients. I have found working with psychologists, social workers, speech pathologists and of course other OTs, an invaluable experience - I have learned a lot from the team at YMs!" - Karlee 💜

Karlee works with caregivers, children, and adolescents, adopting a family centred, and evidence-based approach. She focuses on clients’ strengths and interests to maximise their participation and independence in everyday activities. We love having you on our team Karlee! 💚 💜

Your mind 🧠 and body 💪 are more connected than you think…

Ever noticed how stress can show up as headaches, tummy aches, or exhaustion? Or how movement and sleep can shift your mood? That’s the powerful link between physical and mental health!

Inside, we unpack:
✨ How physical health impacts mood, focus, and energy
🧠 The mind-body connection explained
🌱 Simple, realistic ways to support both

Because wellbeing isn’t just “in your head” — it’s a whole-body experience 💜

Group therapy isn’t a “replacement” for individual sessions... it’s a powerful addition 💜💚

It gives kids the chance to practise social, emotional, and communication skills in a safe, supported environment with other kids who get it! 🤝

If your child is working on confidence, friendships, anxiety, or emotional regulation - Our evidence-based group programs can make those skills stick! ✨

Not sure if it’s time to take your child to a psychologist? 🤔 You’re not alone 💜

As parents, it can be hard to tell the difference between a phase, and something your child might need extra support with. From big emotions to school struggles, to anxiety, behaviour changes, or total withdrawal... These moments can leave you wondering what’s normal and what’s not.

The truth is - You don’t have to figure it out alone 💜

Our latest blog gently walks you through the signs to look out for, when to seek support, and how early help can make a real difference in your child’s wellbeing ✨

Getting support isn’t about something being “wrong”. It’s about giving your child the tools to thrive 💫

🌟 Fact or Fiction 🌟

When kids understand their emotions, they do better! 💡

Our Fact or Fiction group helps children go beyond the basics of “happy, sad, angry, scared” and truly explore:
✨ The science behind the brain & emotions (through games, hands-on learning & videos)
✨ Myths about feelings, thoughts & interactions with others
✨ How emotions impact friendships & handling tricky social moments
✨ How self-image and confidence shape everyday life

With guidance from skilled clinicians, kids learn practical strategies to:
💬 Manage emotions with support from adults
🤝 Build stronger social connections
💪 Strengthen confidence & self-competency

The result? A boost in emotional regulation, friendships, and overall wellbeing. 🌱

From emotional regulation to social skills, our evidence-based group programs are designed to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing. 💜

📅 We run multiple programs throughout the year at our North Lakes & Stafford clinics.

“Why is my child so angry?” 💥 Explosive behaviour can feel overwhelming for parents, but underneath - anger is usually something deeper 🧠

Explore what’s really driving big reactions in our kids, and how to respond in ways that build emotional regulation (instead of escalating the storm).

This blog post looks at:
🧠 The psychology behind anger in children
🌱 Common triggers for explosive behaviour
💬 Practical, evidence-based strategies for calmer responses
🤝 How to strengthen connection during tough moments

Remember: Angry kids aren’t “bad” kids. They’re just struggling with big feelings they don’t know how to manage yet.

🐠 Scuba Sam’s Social Adventures!🐠

Some kids need a little extra support learning the building blocks of friendship — things like taking turns, joining in, and reading social cues.

🤝 In this fun and supportive program, children learn key social skills through structured teaching and play-based practice.

💬 With adult “coaches” by their side, they get real-time feedback and encouragement to help new skills stick.

🌊 As confidence grows, kids feel more connected, capable, and motivated in their friendships — both in clinic and in everyday life.

From emotional regulation to social skills, our evidence-based group programs are designed to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing. 💜

📅 We run multiple programs throughout the year at our North Lakes & Stafford clinics.
