💛 Today is R U OK? Day 💛 A gentle reminder that a simple question can make a huge difference. Take a moment today to check in with the people around you—friends, family, colleagues—and ask, “Are you OK?” It’s important to remind each other that it’s okay to not be okay and that support is always here. I want you to know that I'm here for a chat, a coffee, or just to listen—today and every day. Whether it's work or personal, you don't have to go through it alone. Let’s look out for one another and keep the conversation going. Your words could change someone’s day—or even their life. 🌼Have a look at what some of our Coaches do to manage their wellbeing.

🎶 Scott's Night at the Grease Musical! 🎭 Scott, an absolute fan of musicals, recently had the time of his life at the Grease musical! He was over the moon to meet the legendary Marcia Hines, who plays Teen Angel, and Patty Newton, who plays Miss Lynch. With Carly, his support worker, by his side, Scott even got up for a little dance, making the experience even more memorable. His mum shared that Scott’s smile lasted for days after he got home. Since then, he’s been reliving the magic by watching the Grease movies again and again. The night ended with everyone on their feet, singing and dancing along to the finale—an unforgettable moment for Scott! 💃🕺 #GreaseIsTheWord #Inclusivity #NDIS #MusicalMagic

Darryn's Journey: A Story of Resilience and Recovery Darryn's journey hasn't been an easy one. In his youth, he fell in with the wrong crowd and began using drugs, primarily meth. His struggle with addiction saw him in and out of rehab. One harrowing day, his then-girlfriend used all her dole payment for a batch of meth that turned out to be laced. This led Darryn on a 2-3 day bender, culminating in a terrifying moment where he threatened his mother's life. His sister, present at the time, called the Psychiatric Emergency Team (PET), who arrived and restrained him. The memory of losing control in that way still haunts Darryn. While recovering in a mental health facility and being diagnosed with schizophrenia, Darryn made a life-changing decision: he would no longer own a mobile phone to avoid the temptation of calling old friends. This was the start of his journey to sobriety. He moved into a Vinnies group home for men, receiving significant support and guidance. Fifteen years later, Darryn achieved a major milestone by being granted a Homeswest unit, allowing him to live independently and manage his own medication. Today, Darryn still sees his parents and helps his dad with his lawn mowing business a few days a week. He also receives support from My Supports twice a week. When he moved into his new unit, we put out a call to our team for spare furniture. Thanks to the generosity of Marie and some of our staff at My Supports, we were able to fully furnish his cozy home. Darryn's story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of community support. We're proud to be part of his journey and to see him thrive independently. #MySupports #ClientStory #Resilience #CommunitySupport
