We appreciate the patience and support of our clients and community during the temporary closure of some of our offices due to ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. We’re happy to share that all offices have now reopened.

Veterans will soon have better access to the support they need, closer to home, with the Northern Adelaide Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Hub set to open in mid-2025. Led by Lives Lived Well and funded by the Australian Government Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the Hub will provide dedicated wellbeing services and social connection opportunities for veterans, serving defence members, and their families.

Lives Lived Well, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by substance use, joins communities worldwide in recognising International Family Drug Support Day on 24 February. This annual event raises awareness about the crucial role families play in supporting loved ones affected by alcohol and drug use.

Today (20 February 2025) we are excited to be hosting the official community opening event at headspace Caloundra, celebrating improved access to mental health and wellbeing support for young people aged 12 to 25. Since opening in December, the centre at 3a/67 Bowman Road has already connected with young people more than 150 times through services and support. This opening event recognises the collaborative effort behind its establishment and the vital services it now offers.

Earlier this month, more than 750 Gold Coast high school students participated in a series of mental health workshops co-delivered by headspace Southport, headspace Upper Coomera, and the nationally recognised mental health and suicide prevention initiative, The Champions.  

As the year comes to a close, many people take time to reflect on their lives and consider changes to build a better future. For those struggling with substance use, this reflection can mark a pivotal moment—a chance to take the first courageous step toward recovery. Lives Lived Well is here to help, offering support through Mirikai, a longstanding residential rehabilitation service on the Gold Coast.

The holiday season can be a challenging time for individuals and families impacted by alcohol and drug issues. Lives Lived Well is reminding the community that support is available now and into 2025 through its upgraded facilities at Chambers Flat, where Logan House and Logan Family Recovery provide comprehensive care in a peaceful, semi-rural setting.

A new headspace is now open to help young people aged 12 to 25 years with mental health, physical health (including sexual health) alcohol and other drug services, and work and study support.
