This Men’s Health Week, we’re highlighting the role wellbeing plays in helping men to build meaningful lives and maintain strong connections with family, friends, and community.

At Breathing Space, wellbeing is part of the deeper process of behaviour change. Our residential program holds men accountable for how they choose to show up in the world, meaning that they need to take action to maintain their wellbeing.

Alongside structured group work and therapeutic support, participants learn practical tools that help them stay grounded and connected. These practices don’t replace the core behaviour change work, they support it. They help men slow down, stay present, and make choices that align with safety, respect, and accountability.

We know meaningful change takes time. But small, consistent actions can strengthen mental health, build resilience, and support safer relationships.

This morning’s National Reconciliation Week breakfast, hosted by Reconciliation WA and Reconciliation Australia, was an important opportunity to reflect on what it truly means to be “all in”, through truth-telling, listening and meaningful action.

The keynote address by Narelda Jacobs was powerful and moving, sharing the realities of the experiences of First Peoples and the reminder that racism still exists within our communities.

Real change begins when we listen, learn and allow ourselves to be transformed by the stories shared.

We were reminded that Reconciliation is a relationship, it’s showing up, its meaningful action. It’s not a week, it’s every day.

National Sorry Day reminds us that the impacts of forced removal, disconnection from culture and systemic injustice are not confined to history.

As a community services organisation, we see the importance of healing, connection, cultural safety and self-determination every day.

Today we honour Stolen Generations survivors and reaffirm our commitment to walking alongside First Nations peoples in truth, respect and reconciliation.

What an incredible evening with Maggie Dent 💛

One of the most special moments of the evening was launching our Good Enough Parenting Cards, with Maggie sharing this beautiful reflection:

“When I opened them and read them, they made my heart sing like you wouldn’t believe, because so many of the things in there are things I say all the time to parents to reassure them there’s no perfect, we all muck up, we are all trying to do the best we can”
