Nature Play SA In a short period of time, childhood has evolved into something most of us wouldn’t recognise. If we pause, our own experience of childhood is likely to look very different to that of our children. A number of societal changes have combined to brew the perfect storm. We lead busy lives. As working parents, we look to structured activities and new technologies to help us manage our time. Backyards have been reduced to courtyards and there’s a growing fear for our children’s safety. While it may feel like we’re making gains, what we’ve lost is the space to play. To create, imagine and be bored. To spend time in nature, engaging all of our senses, socialise and, most importantly, learn. Current research is telling us that our children are not as happy, healthy or emotionally resilient as they once were. Language and physical delays are on the rise, as well as growing uncertainty amongst our children when they spend time in the natural world – something that should bring joy, calmness, clarity and freedom. Nature Play SA are a small team that works hard to empower parents, educators and our broader community with the knowledge to bring...
Psychologists: Susanne Mechtersheimer Amanda Goh Sarah Mercer Joanne Berriman About neuroCare neuroCare Clinics offer evidence-based mental health programs helping children and adults overcome emotional, learning and behavioural disorders without the need for medications and its associated side-effects. Protocols adopted in our clinics are scientifically-proven, non-invasive and can offer sustainable and holistic benefit, stepping away from a “one-size-fits-all” approach to mental health. Our neuromodulation programs are calibrated using the highest quality technologies, taking these personalised insights into account. All programs combined psychotherapy with a dedicated Psychologist or Psychiatrist, with studies showing the long-term benefit of integrating personalised, one-on-one support throughout the patient journey. neuroCare programs seek to unlock the underlying cause of the condition, rather than managing symptoms as presented. Our highly trained therapists take a closer look at the brain’s activity using Quantitative EEG (QEEG) enabling us to assess a person’s symptoms at a neurophysiological level. We recognise the importance of sleep in mental health and draw upon a number of other tools to observe the role it plays in a child or adult’s mental wellbeing. neuroCare’s assessment and therapy methods have been tested and developed over 18 years with a dedicated team of researchers in Europe continuing to support our clinical teams...

Nicola Cohen Clinical Psychologist BPsych(Hons), MClinPsych A safe and nurturing space to explore, acknowledge, and feel your emotions in order to process them and heal. My name is Nicola and I work with children, adolescents, and their families in addition to young adults. I pride myself on my openness, relatability, and ability to make clients feel safe, validated, and heard. As my clients know, one of my favourite sayings is ‘you can’t heal it, until you feel it’ and from this, Feel to Heal Psychology was born. As an avid Harry Potter fan, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to use the beautiful reference of Fawkes, a phoenix, to represent this practice. This is because my very essence as a psychologist is to support my clients to rise up from their difficulties, and look inwards to feel and process their emotions to become the best version of themselves. Outside of work, I am a wife and mum of two beautiful boys and two wonderful fur babies. We love spending time as a family and with friends, travelling, adventuring outdoors, are board games and movie nerds, and I also love curling up with a book and a cup of tea!
NOFASD Being aware and informed about FASD Alcohol can cause damage to the developing baby at any time during pregnancy, often before a pregnancy has been confirmed. The level of harm is dependent on a wide range of factors, making it impossible to predict the outcome of alcohol exposure to any individual pregnancy. Factors include the amount and frequency of the mother’s alcohol use, age, health (nutrition, tobacco and other substance use, mental health) and environmental factors such as stress. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a diagnostic term used to describe the impacts on the brain and body of people prenatally exposed to alcohol. FASD is a lifelong disability. Individuals with FASD will experience some degree of challenges in their daily living and may need support to develop motor skills and strengthen their learning, memory, attention and communication skills. Their physical health requires assessment and monitoring, and they may struggle with emotional regulation and appropriate social skills. However, early intervention and understanding will assist people living with FASD to reach their full potential. Each person with FASD is unique and has areas of both strengths and challenges. The importance of the role of Out-of-home care sector workers People involved in...
