EPIC (Empowering Parents In Crisis) EPIC (Empowering Parents In Crisis) is a NFP Organisation led by parents with lived experience of teens in crisis. EPIC was founded in 2021 as a result of the isolation and powerlessness experienced when parents and carers were faced with young people facing mental health challenges including ADHD or choosing challenging behaviours. EPIC is a safe, non-judgmental community building support platform offering peer-peer support, education and sharing through an inclusive cultural lens. EPIC acknowledges that it is a frightening, lonely and very worrying period for parents/carers and families when their child is facing challenges. Our team seeks to support community recovery and capacity building for parents/carers and families of young people by providing a supportive community that is focused on well being and connectedness.

Family Advocacy Family Advocacy formally known as ‘The Institute for Family Advocacy and Leadership Development’ is an independent, impartial advocacy organisation that supports families across New South Wales to promote and defend the rights and interests of people with developmental disability. The organisation is managed and staffed by parents and allies of people with disability, who recognise the issues that people with disability and families face and who can assist in strengthening the advocacy and capacity of families. Family Advocacy was founded by families of people with disability, and differ from carer organisations in that our family members are advocating for people with disability to have a good, ordinary life. We do not advocate for parents or siblings themselves, and believe first and foremost in improving the lives of our family members with disability through natural, community supports rather than government funding or services. All of the advocacy work we undertake, including our events, workshops and resources are underpinned by a theory that provides a comprehensive framework for how to help people with disability achieve a good life. The theory is called Social Role Valorisation (SRV) and can be powerful for families to use to improve the life of their family member with disability. We are currently the...

Good Therapy Australia Often asked to recommend a practitioner, it puzzled me that meaningful information relevant to finding a suitable therapist was not readily available to the general public. The benefits of such a resource were compelling, and in December 2003, fate and inspiration spurred me into action: the first step was to create an accessible Directory where Australians could select from a range of search criteria and browse the profiles of accredited counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists. Launched on 15 September 2004, Goodtherapy.com.au was met with enthusiastic support from mental health practitioners and the wider community. In 2005, Good Therapy Australia became a not-for-profit organisation and registered health promotion charity. Today, Good Therapy Australia continues to move forward - albeit slowly and one small step at a time. Thank you to all who in the spirit of collaboration and compassion, help to make "good" therapy an evolving reality. Please contact: Jeanne Abelson I have a gentle, person-centred approach. I use holistic, creative and spiritual methods, depending on your preferences, and help you discover your own direction and solutions. I believe that your genes, biology, thinking and environment, now and in the past, all contribute to making you the person that you are today....

Gravity North Wellness Indiana and Kelly McCoy The Wood Gravity method of colonic hydrotherapy is proven to be the most gentle. The method allows for a simultaneous in-out flow of water. Although many claim to use the Wood Gravity, in reality they use machines that can stretch the colon or use too high pressure that damages the colon walls. We are one of the handful of facilities in Australia to use this method. Our promise is to keep your experience in confidence so that you always feel secure, comfortable and dignified.
