Did you know, over 78% of families and young people report their pet as helpful in improving their mental health?

This R U OK Day, we’re focusing on how important our pets are in making us feel okay!

Thank you to SAFE Karratha for the opportunity to bring fosters Alfie (pictured below) and Star, who’ve been in foster care for some time and are so deserving of a furever home. Can Alfie or Star bring love and laughter into your home?

Thank you to our hosts, Ashburton Aboriginal Corporation Pilbara and all our community stakeholders friends for this event.

Remember to ask your mates, R U OK? Or at the very least, cuddle your pets 🐶 🐱 💛

Mission Pilbara had the pleasure of attending two wonderful events this week.

First up was The Karratha Women's Place Inc. Women’s Health Expo 2024. So many great conversations had and connections made. We were able to share information about our new program coming to Karratha clients very soon! More on this in the coming weeks. Thank you Dee for organising this wonderful event 🌟

Second in line was the Child Protection Week event in Roebourne. The focus this year was ‘Every Conversation Matters’. We asked our community what feeling safe meant to them. Many young people (and grown ups too!) said being with their Mums is safe for them ❤️ Uncles, Aunties, Nannas, friends, teachers and being on country got a mention too and we’re now proudly displaying the artwork created in our office to remind us all of the safe places and people in our lives 🌈

🌟 MA Pilbara has a shining star 🌟

Dorothy Colfer, Family and Domestic Violence Team Leader, took out the People’s Choice award in the 2024 Pilbara for Purpose Community Service Excellence awards.

To say we are proud of Dolly is an understatement. Dolly’s unwavering commitment to our community and her deepest respect for some of our most vulnerable individuals is second to none.

Dolly, we loved seeing you receive your award, and our hearts were warmed by a beautiful acceptance speech. You are an absolute asset to the community we serve. Congratulations!
