One of our favourite take aways from the book '10 One of our favourite take aways from the book '10 things I wish you knew about your child's mental health' happens in the first chapter. 

Chapter 1 is all about attachment. We love talking attachment and the focus is usually on the first 1000 days of your child's life. So much research and importance is placed on building secure and positive attachment in these early days. If you're reading this book with older children in mind, you might start to dread you've not done enough. This is where our favourite part comes in. 

It's never to late to secure a positive attachment!

We never stop seeking attachment and connections with others. Through genuine, meaningful interactions you can create those positive opportunities for attachment, love and care.

Earlier this month, organisations around the world Earlier this month, organisations around the world recognised Childrenโ€™s Mental Health Week. It's a week to acknowledge and amplify the voices of children and young people so they feel safe, seen and connected. Something we feel incredibly passionate about and embed throughout all of our programs. The theme was โ€œThis Is My Placeโ€ chosen because a sense of belonging plays a huge role in mental health and wellbeing.

We strive every day to create welcoming spaces where children and families feel they truly belong, where their voices are heard, and where connection isnโ€™t just encouraged, itโ€™s central to our objectives. 

Our programs focused at young adults and older, (Blue Leaf Initiative & End to End Driver Training) strives to acheive the same connection and belonging. We support mental health and wellbeing through creating opportunities for nurturing social connection, empowering through education and strengthening community through volunteering and participation
