Black Dog on a Lead On Sunday 16 October join the Black Dog on a Lead walk, raising money for Headspace while getting people to talk openly about depression or ‘the black dog’ within our community.

Almost half (45.5%) of the total population experience a mental health disorder at some point in their life and although you may be one of the lucky ones, there is a good chance that someone you LOVE, is or will be effected.

In Australia, eight lives are lost every day as a result of suicide and it is the number one cause of deaths for Australians aged 15 to 44.

Indigenous communities are up to eight times more likely to take their own life than non-Indigenous Australians and we currently have the highest rate of suicide in the world for young Indigenous males.

We are ALL in this together and no one should have to suffer in silence.

To register for the walk click the link www.mycause.com.au/events/blackdogonalead.

Alternately if you’d like to avoid the walking bit and still support Headspace you can donate by sponsoring Mrs Petrina Brewer at the following link: www.mycause.com.au/page/134220/black-dog-on-a-lead-petrina-richmond.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter Are you looking for a weekend where you can spend time with your spouse, free from the usual distractions and focus on just the two of you? Remember the early days of your marriage; just being together was most important. The Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend has the same focus. The weekend centres entirely on your relationship. It is a positive, private experience between you and your spouse, that assists you to see again those loving qualities in each other that you may be taking for granted.

There is NO GROUP sharing on the weekend. We invite you to join us on our next Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend on 21 to 23 October at Swanleigh, Middle Swan. For information or booking contact George and Monica on 0424 220 625 or email WAbookings@wwme.org.au or visit www.wwme.org.au.
