Hi, I’m Jacqui. I’m a proud Wiradjuri woman from Wellington, NSW.

Before I came to The Glen, I was struggling. I felt unstable, alone, and carried a lot of pain and fear. I was a broken version of myself.

When I arrived at The Glen, everything changed. I felt warmth, love, connection and support from the staff and my sisters — they loved me back to life.

I learned how to take accountability for my choices and grow from them. I found strength and reconnected with my culture.

Today, I feel proud of everything I’ve achieved. I’m healthier, happier, and more connected — not just to myself, but to others.

The Glen gave me more than just tools for recovery — it gave me connection, community, and a deep sense of hope.

I’m so grateful. They’ve shown me the importance of self-worth and honesty. 💛

✨ Sneak Peek! ✨

We’re giving you a taste of something special from our upcoming Glen Group Cookbook!

This week, our CEO Alex steps into the kitchen to share a dish that’s been lovingly passed down through his own family — now shared with our Glen family. ❤️

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to experience one of Alex’s home-cooked meals, you’ll know that alone is reason enough to grab a copy of the cookbook when it launches!

The Glen for Women had the pleasure of welcoming Abang Anade Othow to our centre today.

It was an inspiring afternoon hearing her powerful story of resilience, courage, and the life-changing impact of education. Everyone loved her incredible Buckets Of Hope — a true reflection of her generous spirit and message of empowerment.

Thank you, Abang, for sharing your journey with us 💛

Every Thursday afternoon, The Glen for Men hold Cultural activities on site. Our most recent session was hosted by Tuggerah Lakes Police District and Brisbane Water Police District ACLO Shanane Glass as the men explored story telling and their journey through expressions of art, and a shared community piece that the Glen boys painted.

We’re honoured to have Shanane offer up her time to connect through her love of painting, and story telling as she shared space with our men, demonstrating the important role healthy relationships play to our community and the Police.

The Glen for Women had an amazing time out at Ettalong Beach last weekend, giving stand-up paddleboarding a go!

We’re so lucky to have the beautiful Central Coast as our playground and to be connected with incredible local services like bombora_ettalong_beach_sup.

A big shoutout to Karl for making the experience so relaxed, supportive, and full of laughs — we’re so grateful for your guidance and encouragement! 🏄‍♀️

The growth we see in our men and women when they engage with our cultural mentors is truly inspiring. Providing space to learn, create, and share talents can lead to remarkable transformation.

Today, we’re proud to showcase the beautiful artworks of Lonny.

Lonny shares he’s only been painting for a short time — though you’d never guess it from these stunning pieces!

Our art mentor Garry praised Lonny’s ability to capture landscapes and colour so naturally, describing his artworks as heartfelt and deeply meaningful.

We couldn’t agree more — here’s hoping Lonny keeps that paintbrush in hand for a long time to come!

Our Story

The Glen is a residential Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre for men. Located on the beautiful Central Coast of New South Wales.

In the early 1990s, The Glen’s Founder, Cyril Hennessy, worked as a parole officer and was alarmed at the rate of recidivism in the Australian justice system. He could see that men would continue re-offending because they needed treatment for their drug and alcohol addiction, which was causing the offending behaviours.

With strength, passion and determination, The Glen was established in 1994 and has been a shining example of the triumph of the Koori and the human spirit for the past 24 years. Indigenous values are adopted throughout The Glen’s program, evident through the strength-based approach which shows clients what they can do, not what they can’t do. Indigenous Elders are regularly invited to join the groups to share cultural stories, wisdoms and philosophies with all our clients.
