No question is too small, and no one is expected to have all the answers. Participation is always voluntary, and respectful curiosity is encouraged.

We’re celebrating five years of our social enterprise, Solasta! 🎉

What began as a small psychology service in 2021 has grown into a thriving social enterprise supporting thousands of South Australians through assessment, therapy, and specialist clinical services.

But what makes Solasta special is that every appointment creates impact beyond the clinic room: revenue generated through Solasta is reinvested into Sonder’s programs that support some of South Australia’s most underserved communities, helping us extend our reach and create positive change across the state.

We’re incredibly proud of the Solasta team and grateful to every client, clinician, partner and supporter who has been part of the journey.

Check out Solasta’s post below to see the team’s incredible achievements over the past five years.

Congratulations on five years of impact, Solasta. Here’s to many more!

When your regular GP isn't available, knowing your healthcare options is important.

Adelaide PHN has launched a new After-Hours Resources webpage to help people understand their care options and find the right support when they need it.

This is a valuable resource for our community and may be especially helpful for Refugee and New Arrival communities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

🌈 Happy Pride Month 🌈

Pride is a celebration, but it's also about the ongoing effort to create communities where people feel like they truly belong, exactly as they are.

This month, Sonder is celebrating the diversity and resilience of LGBTQIASB+ communities. We recognise those who have helped create positive change, those who continue to push for inclusion, and the young people who are still finding their place in the world.

To our LGBTQIASB+ community members, staff, partners, and allies: thank you for helping create communities where people can be their authentic selves.

Happy Pride Month from the Sonder team.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
