🌟💚 THANK YOU HAYDEN 🌟💚
Hayden has been part of our Youth Reference Group since November 2015, almost 10 years of service. He is finishing up at the end of the year, but we wanted to take the time to celebrate all the excellent work and everything he has been a part of, including some throwback pics 😎
With his time, he is most grateful for being able to help young people in the Sutherland Shire. He is also grateful for the connections and good friends he has made. He’s been involved with many exciting projects, groups, helping people get their licenses and with resumes, seeing them enter the workforce.
In honor to celebrate him we were able to give a certificate and flowers. We have now named our group room Hayden’s Room, to recognize the hard work and dedication of almost 10 years of volunteering. This achievement will be shared far and wide to commend the amazing Hayden! 📣🎉
This isn't goodbye, we hope to invite Hayden to join our Family and Friends Reference Group, we are so thankful for you Hayden 💚💚💚

Today is IDAHOBIT- The International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination 🏳️🌈💚
On May 17th every year, we acknowledge that on this date in 1990, homosexuality was removed from the WHO Classification of Diseases. Over three decades later, LGBTQIA+ communities still face multiple forms discrimination. Knowing how to support our LGBTQIA+ friends in community is transformative to making our communities feel safer, more welcoming and supportive! We hope these tips begin conversations about how you can be an ally in daily life.
For more information on IDAHOBIT or information on supports for queer youth, check out @minus18youth or the IDAHOBIT website: .au/about-may-17/
Happy IDAHOBIT!! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 #youth #Pride #lgbtqia #queer
At the beginning of May, we said goodbye to our amazing Clinical Manager, Adrian, as he wrapped up his time at headspace Miranda!🥺💚🙌
Adrian joined headspace Miranda 4.5 years ago as a PSS Clinician (MHC), where he provided support to many young people and families. Over time, he stepped into the Clinical Educator role, and eventually becoming the Clinical Manager in 2023. In this role, Adrian oversaw the clinical team at Miranda, supporting clinicians and the wider team, contributing to key projects, and maintaining strong and meaningful stakeholder relationships.
We have been so thankful to Adrian for all his work at headspace Miranda and will miss his never-ending support, guidance, humour and wisdom! The whole team wishes him all the best and congratulates him as he embarks on the next chapter of his career!
Thank you for everything, Adrian!! 🙌💚

This week, headspace Miranda turned 12!💚
To celebrate, our staff, partners and YRG, got together for a morning walk and picnic by the ocean. This was an amazing opportunity to slow down and celebrate the amazing work that is done in this space every single day, as well as soak in some beautiful sun and ocean air!🌊🌞
A huge shoutout should go to our wonderful Youth Reference Group member, Jennifer, who made the most delicious cupcakes and beautiful balloons for the day. The team truely appreciated her dedication to the day and the time and effort she put into organising!
We are so excited to have celebrated this massive milestone (being at the age to access the service!) and can’t wait to continue doing meaningful work in the future!

A day at TEDx Sutherland☺️🙌💚
@tedxsutherland_
headspace Miranda was fortunate enough to join in the fun at the first TED event in the Sutherland Shire at Innaburra High School today!! We held a Quietspace and an interactive stall and had important conversations surrounding wellbeing, how to build relationships with communities and making intentional changes to your life.
A huge applause should go to all the speakers and MCs for facilitating amazing conversations! Another shoutout goes to our Youth Reference Group members Izzy and Sarah for being involved and helping facilitate our activities!
We are so thankful to have been involved in this event and eager to continue to have meaningful conversations in the future!
