COLOUR RUN LOST AND FOUND!!

Did your little one come with shoes and leave without?? Well we might have them here at our office in Cannonvale. These 2 pairs of crocs look well loved, with jibbitz galore! Let's reunite them with their little feet!

Our team had two wonderful mornings this week at Whitsunday Regional Council 's Libraries in Proserpine and Cannonvale for National Child Protection Week!

A huge thank you to Alison for sharing such a lovely story with the children during Storytime. Together, we had some gentle, meaningful chats about "safe people", reminding the little ones about the trusted grown-ups they can always turn to when they need help, a listening ear, or a safe space.
The kids did an amazing job getting creative and crafting their very own colourful crowns!
Keeping our kids safe, connected, and supported isn't up to just one person or service—child protection is everybody’s business. It starts right here in our community with everyday conversations, caring neighbors, and safe places like our local library.

Thank you to everyone who joined in and chatted with us! 💛

On the 3rd September, Whitsunday Counselling & Support were invited to Bunnings Warehouse Australia in Cannonvale for their Father’s Day event! There was a great crowd of services there to celebrate all that dads do for their families and little people.

Claudia and Freya, from WCS, joined in the fun by encouraging the young people to create a colourful crown, in honour of child protection week which commenced on the 6th – 12th September. We love collaborating with the local community to bring together such wonderful events on important occasions like Father’s Day.

Day 5 of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week: TO CONNECT

Human connection is at the heart of our well-being. At Whitsunday Counselling and Support, we know that nurturing relationships is a vital foundation for good mental health.

Connecting can be simple:

- Catch up with a friend over coffee.

- Send a quick, thoughtful text to someone you care about.

- Share a warm conversation with someone in our community.

- Take a quiet moment to reconnect with yourself.

Feeling connected helps us feel seen and supported, reminding us that we never have to navigate life alone.

How are you choosing to connect today?

If you’re feeling isolated or need extra support, Whitsunday Counselling and Support is here for you. Reach out to our team today.

What a wonderful morning! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the very first meeting of our Wander Women community walking group!

Launching this on R U OK? Day was deeply intentional for us—movement and connection go hand-in-hand, and today was a great reminder of the power of walking together and checking in.

Couldn't make it today? We’d love to see you at the next one!

📍 Next Walk: Next month—same time, same place. Second Thursday of the month at 9am at the Whisper Bay Boat Ramp.

Thank you for walking alongside us and creating such a supportive space. See you next month! 💛

Day 4 of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week: TO BREATHE

Breathing happens automatically, but noticing it can transform your day. At Whitsunday Counselling and Support, we know that deep breaths are the fastest way to steady your mind.

Mindful breathing is simple:

- Take three slow breaths before tackling a busy task.

- Inhale the fresh coastal breeze while outdoors.

- Pause, rest a hand on your heart, and slow down.

- Inhale for four counts, then exhale slowly to release tension.

Slowing your breath instantly tells your nervous system you're safe, lowering stress in seconds.

How are you choosing to breathe today?

If you’re struggling to find calm, Whitsunday Counselling and Support is here to help. Reach out to our team today.

Our team from Whitsunday Counselling and Support had a fantastic time attending Party in the Park, an incredible event hosted by the Mackay Regional Council .

It was inspiring to bring together so many local services that walk alongside children, young people, and families across our region. For our team, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with the local community, network with fellow support services, share more about how WCS helps families, and dance in some bubbles!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our space to say hello and learn about what we do. Strong, connected communities help keep our children safe and supported.

Ask R U OK? Any Day - Walk with us Today, Thursday the 10th

Every conversation has the power to change a life. You don’t need to be an expert to help someone struggling—you just need to show up, listen, and ask the question.

Behind every "I'm fine" might be a story waiting to be heard.

At Whitsunday Counselling and Support, we’re here to walk alongside you. One of the best ways to start these conversations is side-by-side, which is why we run our Wander Women walks every Thursday morning! It’s a safe, pressure-free space to move, connect, and check in with other local women.

Whether you join us for a walk or reach out for confidential 1-on-1 support, remember that connection matters and help is right here.

💬 Take a moment today to ask someone: Are you really OK?
