Please note this workshop is adults ONLY, and headspace request that you do not to bring their children or young people into the room at the time. headspace have advised us the workshop is not a place to disclose personal stories or an opportunity to seek clinical guidance regarding the specific needs of their young person. Instead, it is a chance for parents to learn some really good information about mental health in adolescents, and to take away some practical strategies they could use when supporting their young person at home.

World's Greatest Shave

Mr T is participating in the ‘The World’s Greatest Shave’ on Tuesday 14th March and we would love for everyone to get involved. The World’s Greatest Shave is a campaign led by the Leukaemia Foundation; an Australian Charity dedicated to supporting people living with blood cancer.

For over 2 years Mr T has been growing his hair with the intention to participate in the shave. After one year of growing his hair not only did Mr T become fond of his new look but he changed his goal. He didn’t just want to shave his hair for the cause, but he wanted to grow his hair long enough to donate it.
