Youth Mental Health Matters Now More Than Ever Being a young person today isn’t easy. There’s pressure to figure out who you are, what you want, and how to hold it all together even when inside, everything feels like too much. You might feel anxious. Numb. Misunderstood. Alone. And we want you to know: those feelings are real, and you don’t have to hide them. At Mowana, we create a safe, welcoming space where you can: ✨ Talk without judgment ✨ Be heard without needing a diagnosis ✨ Connect with people who care Whether you’re struggling silently or already reaching out, you are not alone. And there’s nothing wrong with needing support. In fact, it’s one of the strongest things you can do. 💙 📍 Mowana Safe Space @ The Mind Cafe Shop 3, 1346 Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen 🕒 Friday, Saturday, Sunday 5–9pm 🕒 Coffee with Kindness – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am–11am 🕒 LGBTQIA+ Night – Every first Tuesday of the month from 6–8pm #MowanaSafeSpace #YouthMentalHealth #YouAreNotAlone #SafeToBeYou #MentalHealthMatters #CommunitySupport
Silence Shouldn’t Be the Only Option 💔 Domestic violence doesn’t always look like bruises. It can be control. Fear. Isolation. And far too often, it’s suffered in silence. Whether you're too scared to speak, unsure who to trust, or feel like no one would believe you - we want you to know this: we believe you. You deserve safety. You deserve to be heard. You don’t have to stay silent. At Mowana, we offer a quiet, compassionate space where you can come without fear or shame. You won’t be judged. You won’t be rushed. You’ll be met with respect, care, and guidance if you need it. 📍 Mowana Safe Space @ The Mind Cafe Shop 3, 1346 Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen 🕒 Friday, Saturday, Sunday 5–9pm 🕒 Coffee with Kindness – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am–11am 🕒 LGBTQIA+ Night – Every first Tuesday of the month from 6–8pm 📞 If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) #MowanaSafeSpace #DomesticViolenceAwareness #BreakTheSilence #YouAreNotAlone #SafeToSpeak #SupportWithoutJudgment
The Weight Young Families Carry And Why You’re Not Alone 💛 Raising a family is beautiful but it can also be overwhelming. The late nights. The financial pressure. The emotional load.

Freedom Begins with Awareness 🌿 True freedom isn’t always about what’s outside, it’s about what’s within. It’s the moment you become aware of your thoughts. Of your patterns. Of the stories you’ve been told and the ones you’re ready to rewrite. 🌱 Awareness is where healing begins. It’s what gives us the power to choose differently. To pause. To breathe. To stop surviving and start living. At Mowana, we hold space for that shift. For quiet awakenings, honest reflection, and the freedom that comes from truly knowing yourself. 📍 Mowana Safe Space @ The Mind Cafe Shop 3, 1346 Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen 🕒 Friday, Saturday, Sunday 5–9pm 🕒 Coffee with Kindness – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am–11am 🕒 LGBTQIA+ Night – Every first Tuesday of the month from 6–8pm #MowanaSafeSpace #FreedomThroughAwareness #YouAreNotAlone #HealingJourney #MentalHealthSupport #AwakeningAndEmpowerment
💫 What Self-Confidence Gives Us 💫 Self-confidence isn’t about having it all together or never doubting yourself. It’s about trusting your voice, your worth, and your ability to face what’s ahead even when it’s hard. When we build self-confidence, we give ourselves permission to: ✨ Set boundaries without guilt ✨ Speak up without fear ✨ Take chances without shame ✨ Walk away from what no longer serves us ✨ Show up as we are, not who we think we “should” be And the most beautiful part? Confidence is built step by step, moment by moment, in safe spaces that reflect your value back to you. At Mowana, we’re here to remind you of your strength, your courage, and the confidence that already lives within you. 💙 📍 Mowana Safe Space @ The Mind Cafe Shop 3, 1346 Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen 🕒 Friday, Saturday, Sunday 5–9pm 🕒 Coffee with Kindness – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am–11am 🕒 LGBTQIA+ Night – Every first Tuesday of the month from 6–8pm #MowanaSafeSpace #SelfConfidence #YouAreWorthy #MentalWellbeing #SafeToBeYou #BuildYourConfidence
"You’re not too much. You’re just carrying more than anyone knows." Read that again. The way you feel isn’t a burden, it’s a response to what you’ve been holding onto, often in silence. At Mowana, you don’t need to shrink yourself or explain everything. Just come as you are. We see you, and there’s space here for all of it, all of you. 💙 📍 Mowana Safe Space @ The Mind Cafe Shop 3, 1346 Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen 🕒 Friday, Saturday, Sunday 5–9pm 🕒 Coffee with Kindness – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am–11am 🕒 LGBTQIA+ Night – Every first Tuesday of the month from 6–8pm #MowanaSafeSpace #YouAreNotTooMuch #MentalHealthSupport #ComeAsYouAre #YouAreNotAlone

Words to Hold On To Each one of these words - Accept. Love. Teach. Empower. Support. Advocate. Hope - is more than just a message on a post-it. It’s a reminder of what we all need, and what we strive to offer every day at Mowana. Whether you’re here to give support or needing to receive it, this is a space where all of these things are possible when we come together. 💛 📍 Mowana Safe Space @ The Mind Cafe Shop 3, 1346 Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen 🕒 Friday, Saturday, Sunday 5–9pm 🕒 Coffee with Kindness – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am–11am 🕒 LGBTQIA+ Night – Every first Tuesday of the month from 6–8pm #MowanaSafeSpace #SupportAndHope #WordsThatMatter #MentalHealthCommunity #SafeToBeYou
