It looks like a great day for coffee at Blending Our Futures Inclusive Café

Open 9-3 all weekend ☕️

I’m constantly reminded that the team we have built at Blending Our Futures Inclusive Café is incredible ⭐️

We smashed our previous record by over $200 today! The total was equivalent to two “normal” days work in sales. The team worked so well, kept calm and got the job done ✅

Hopefully everyone has a great sleep tonight!

Yesterday you ordered a drink. That doesn’t come with permission to make our young female staff uncomfortable. ☕️🙃

Their smiles are customer service. Their politeness is professionalism. Neither is an invitation.

If you can’t keep your comments appropriate and interrogations on personal details to yourself, we suggest finding somewhere else to dine.

But if you do come back, we hope you enjoy being served by our male mentors. Same great coffee, much firmer conversation about boundaries. 😉

Respect is compulsory. Your custom is optional.

Our staff have our full support to walk away—and we’re very comfortable asking you to do the same.

We remember your name like you made sure of, but you know who you are 😉

Thank you to the other 99.99% of our customers, who are absolutely amazing 🤩

Healthier Relationships – Bringing the Shark Cage Metaphor to Gawler 🦈

🦈 Why use the Shark Cage Metaphor? The Shark Cage Metaphor is a practical and visual way to explore personal safety, healthy relationships, boundaries and individual rights. It can be especially helpful for people with trauma, neurodivergence or disability who may have experienced difficulties recognising unsafe behaviour, understanding social expectations, communicating boundaries or trusting their own judgement. The metaphor helps make complex relationship concepts easier to understand....
