R U OK?
Sometimes life is a little hard, or a lot hard, a little sad or a lot sad. And sometimes life is super happy. All are ok to feel, but some a lonelier than others and we want to make sure you are ok!
Being a parent or caregiver is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do, and whilst you are your child’s favourite superhero (depending on what colour plate you served breakfast on), sometimes we need to remember that we aren’t superhuman and we can’t do it all.
Here at Owl and The Pussycat Preschool Brookvale we pride ourselves on having a strong and safe community. If you ever need a safe place for a cup of coffee or tea and an ear to just talk or some support, we are always here! We have a quiet office or a friendly staffroom to have a chat, with either Ann or someone from the team.
Attached below are some support lines carefully curated:
lifeline: lifeline.org.au 131114 Someone is always available to talk or text 0477 13 11 14 and let them know how you are feeling
Nesting Space - nestingspace.com.au A local mum to help with all help of being and becoming a mum, from fertility journey, to post natal and after birth
Spoke to a bloke - spoketoabloke.org An organisation for men and dads to de-stigmatise men talking about mental health
There is no shame in reaching out for help, and sometimes its easier to go to someone unrelated for some support, if you ever come to us, it will always be discreet and in confidence, and for now, there is something sweet in our centre for our families, to sweeten your day 💜
