Today, Geraldton is taking its first collective step towards a future where family violence is no more, where all people in our community are safe, and where regional respect is the norm. This step is the introduction of the Community, Respect, & Equality (CRE) Agreement, a collaborative agreement signed by businesses and organisations in Geraldton that says #ViolenceIsNEVEROk. Family violence is a big problem in Geraldton. Last year the Midwest-Gascoyne Police attended 2819 family violence incidents, a staggering number averaging more than 50 family violence incidents per week. Obviously, this is too many and cause for alarm. The CRE Agreement is a primary prevention initiative that aims to stop family violence before it starts by challenging the social norms that condone violence in our community. Organisations and businesses in Geraldton can sign the Agreement to say that they, as an organisation, say no to family violence and the norms that cause it. By signing up, organisations are agreeing to support five agreed values: community collaboration; respect and cultural diversity; equality; safety; and social justice. Once organisations sign up they will be given family violence informational materials which highlight how organisations and businesses can increase awareness of family violence in their workplaces. If you are an organisation or business and would like further information or are interested in endorsing the CRE Agreement, please call Beth Brady, Project Officer at Desert Blue Connect on 9964 2742 or email [email protected] For more information on the CRE Agreement, please visit the Community, Respect, and Equality website at https://evth.in/2QHUe59 If you feel unsafe or would like confidential advice please call: • WA Police for assistance 131 444 (000 if urgent) • Desert Blue Connect Geraldton - 9964 2742 • 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 • Sexual Assault Crisis Line - 1800 016 789 https://evth.in/2PsSH6G

Desert Blue Connect will be holding The Big Pram Walk, an annual awareness raising event for perinatal depression and anxiety. The event will be held on Thursday 15th November commencing at 9:30am at Stow Gardens (lawn area near the Geraldton Multipurpose Centre). The Big Pram Walk begins at 9:30am and will be followed by morning tea and children’s activities until 11:00am. Everyone is welcome, just show up with your family, friends and pram. The Big Pram Walk coincides with Perinatal Depression and Anxiety Awareness Week 11-17 November 2018, an awareness week that raises awareness about perinatal depression and anxiety, including what signs to look for and where to seek support. This year the theme is “I wish I knew”, because many expecting parents are surprised by how challenging becoming a parent can be. Sarah, co-ordinator of the event is encouraging everyone to attend. “We want mums, dads, grandparents and children to come along and walk with us”, she said. “It is a good opportunity to meet other mums who may be struggling with perinatal depression and anxiety and learn that you aren’t alone if you are feeling like you are struggling”, she continued. “We will have other agencies there and our women’s health nurse from Desert Blue Connect. So come and say hello and spend some talking to them about local supports and activities.” Other attending agencies at this event include Child and Parent Centre Rangeway, Goodstart Wonthella, Ready Set Grow Bluff Point and Faerie Jo from Face Painting Magic. For further information on perinatal depression and anxiety go to website https://evth.in/2SJGrfX, or if you need help and support contact our women’s health nurse at Desert Blue Connect on 9964 2742. #desertblueconnect #geraldton #everythinggeraldton #thebigpramwalk https://evth.in/2zCoMhJ
