Think you know OCD? Let’s separate fiction from fact.

In our latest blog for OCD Awareness Week, Beam Registered Psychologist Carli (Kedron Clinic) explores:
💭 What OCD really is (and isn’t)
💭 Common myths that need debunking
💭 How to support someone with OCD

Today is World Mental Health Day. This year Mental Health Australia is encouraging everyone to connect with the communities that matter to them.

A community can take many forms, friends, loved ones, clubs or groups.
At home, work, school, in your neighbourhood, or online, connecting with our communities can help us feel cared for and supported, which is good for our mental health.

Take a moment today to check in with someone, share how you’re really doing, or simply listen.

Every chat, no matter how small, helps build a more supportive and understanding society. Together, we can make a difference and prioritise su***de prevention, ensuring everyone gets the help they need.

Changing the narrative on su***de starts with us. By initiating open, honest conversations, we can shift from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support. Remember, you don’t have to face this alone.

If you or someone you care about is in crisis, support is available:
📞 Lifeline: 131 114
📞 Su***de Call Back Service: 1300 659 467

It’s Speech Pathology Week and we’re celebrating the incredible impact speech pathologists make in people’s lives.

At Beam, our speechies support children and young people with their communication, confidence and connection. Every step of the way, they’re helping kids find their voices to thrive at home, at school, and in the community.

With around 1.2 million Australians needing support with communication, the role of speech pathologists is vital. Their work creates opportunities, independence and brighter futures.

We’re proud to recognise and celebrate the difference our speech team makes every day. 💛
