Mindful in May is a growing social initiative. We discuss mindfulness and how it can help our families to reduce stress and anxiety and improve their own mental health.

At Xavier we recognise the amazing work that our nursing team do each and every day. As the world recently celebrated International Nurses Day, we had a chat to our very own Cherie about why she loves nursing. 

In the new world of the NDIS there is a lot to learn and we understand that this can sometimes feel overwhelming. One area of confusion is in how plan management and support coordination work.

We’re excited to announce the opening of our third Community Therapy Clinic in Chermside West. Our Community Therapy Clinics mean that we can provide physiotherapy, speech pathology and occupational therapy for Brisbane children in your communities, in a fun and relaxed environment.

At Xavier, we have a long, proud and very interesting history. In 2019 we are celebrating our 70^th year of supporting Brisbane children and their families. Our history and heritage play in big part in who we are today.

This Epilepsy Awareness month, our nursing team advise on what a seizure is and some strategies to help keep your child safe and minimise the risks associated with seizures.

Brain Awareness Week (11-17 Mar) aims to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research. For children and young adults with conditions of the brain, awareness and compassion go such a long way to helping them enjoy life and to learn and socialise with their families and peers. In this article, we consider the daily challenges of a teenager recovering from a brain injury. 

In our latest therapy blog we hear from Liz our fabulous Physio. Liz talks about how physiotherapy for children helps, what a day in her life looks like and why she loves working with Xavier kids and their families.
