APD Mental Health Support

Our APD Term 2 & 3 Groups are here (better late than never)💜

Our groups are designed to support social connection, confidence building, community participation and skill development in a relaxed and welcoming environment 😊

Groups are kept smaller where possible to help ensure participants feel comfortable and supported.

If you’re interested in attending please reach out to our friendly team either here or email [email protected]

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mums, carers, grandmothers, and mother figures in our community 💐

On Friday, some of our participants and staff celebrated a little early with a beautiful high tea at Trilogy 101 hospitality, filled with lovely food, great company, and plenty of laughs.

Today we celebrate the love, strength, patience, and support you provide every single day. Whether you’re caring for children, family members, friends, or those around you, your impact never goes unnoticed.

From all of us at APD Mental Health Support Services, we hope your day is filled with love, appreciation, and a little time for yourself 💖

There’s been a lot of talk recently about changes to the NDIS, and we know it can feel confusing or even a bit worrying.
We wanted to share this simple “easy read” update to help break things down. The main takeaway right now is that there are no big immediate changes, and most of what’s being discussed is still in early stages.
What this means for you:
✔️ Your current supports continue as normal
✔️ There’s time to prepare for any future changes
✔️ We’re here to guide and support you every step of the way
If you have questions, concerns, or just want to talk it through, reach out to us anytime 💜

Happy International Women’s Day to the incredible women who make our community so special.
From our dedicated support staff to the amazing participants and families we have the privilege of supporting, we are constantly inspired by the strength, resilience and kindness shown by the women around us every day.
Today is a reminder to celebrate, support and uplift one another. We are so grateful to be surrounded by such strong women. 💜

Last week, PRC Amanda and Support Worker Tennille enjoyed a beautiful high tea with our wonderful participants Renee and Hayley at Trilogy Hospitality 101. A lovely afternoon filled with great conversation, delicious treats, and meaningful connection 💜☕️ the staff at Trilogy did a wonderful job 😊

Support worker Alana and our gorgeous participant Emahlie enjoyed another lovely weekend together recently, making the most of some well-deserved relaxation and fun!
They were treated to getting their nails done, caught a movie, took in the beautiful views from the Monument, and finished it all off with some delicious food.
Weekends like these are all about getting out, trying new things, and creating great memories together. 💜💚
