It was great to be involved in the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, a celebration of sexual and gender diversity. It was a very warm day in the Treasury Gardens, but ice blocks kept the attendees cool and DJs kept them dancing!

Bridget, Vocational Peer Worker What does your role at headspace Sunshine involve?
Supporting young people to get back into employment, whether that
be helping them to develop their resumes, find job or study
pathways or accompany them to interviews.
What’s the best part of your job?
It’s great to see young people excited about possible job prospects
or finding a job that really suits them.
If you could have a super power, what would it be?
Teleportation, because I hate traffic!
What is something not many people know about you?
That I’ve been riding horses since I was five. Also, one time Cate
Blanchett came to the café I was working at, and it was amazing!
What would you say to a young person coming to headspace
Sunshine for the first time?
Don’t be scared about coming to seek help, there are heaps of ways
headspace can help you out!
Meet the team!
headspace Sunshine is committed to our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in supporting young people of Indigenous and/or Torres Strait Islander background.
We want to increase awareness about the challenges facing young In-digenous Australians, and make headspace Sunshine a space that is welcoming and accepting of everyone.
The traditional owners of this land are the Wurundjeri people, who have probably lived in the Woi Wurrung area for 40 000 years.
In the near future, the staff from headspace Sunshine will have the privilege of exploring the Dandenongs and learning about Indigenous history with the traditional custodians of Melbourne and surrounding lands. This event is hosted by the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compen-sation Cultural Heritage Council Inc.
headspace acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and we pay our respects to their elders past and present who we share this great country with
