We’re already in Week 6 here at The Power In You Project! Here’s what we’re focusing on across our programs.

This week in Addiction Support we will be focusing on goal setting and looking at practical ways we can achieve our goals.

By setting goals and having something to strive toward, we are able to grow and develop into the best version of ourselves. Goal setting brings greater awareness of our habits and lifestyle, helps us be honest about what we want for our future and gives us a plan to step outside our comfort zone.

Our Mental Health Group has been discussing self-care and how we can take care of ourselves.

To make lasting and sustainable change, we need to look after ourselves while doing the work. Rest, sleep, diet, exercise and other self-care strategies are crucial for our long-term health and wellbeing. These strategies and more will be discussed.

Women’s Group will be looking into the importance of boundaries.

When we have weak or unclear boundaries, we can feel taken advantage of. When our boundaries are too rigid, we can push others away and struggle to form healthy connections. This week, we’ll explore what healthy boundaries look like and practical ways to set them.

Men’s Group will be discussing stress and how to manage it.

Stressful situations and negative emotions will always show up in life. How we cope with them matters. By learning healthy ways to manage stress, we empower ourselves to create better outcomes.

Our physical fitness and community connection groups are available to all participants who want a fitness challenge or want to explore more of the community. These sessions are a great way to break routine and connect with others.

Come in for a chat if you’d like to know more!

Art Therapy | Anger Iceberg Activity 🎨

Yesterday in Art Therapy we used the Anger Iceberg worksheet to explore the emotions that sit underneath anger β€” fear, hurt, shame, overwhelm, frustration.

Through art, participants identified what’s beneath the surface and discussed why fear and anger can benefit us, as well as practical coping strategies to stay in control.

Here’s what each of our group sessions will be covering this week at PIYP πŸ’ͺ

Addiction Support will focus on overcoming fear and managing anger.

Fear and anger are two emotions that can have a strong influence on our thoughts and behaviour, especially when talking about recovery. There’s no shortage of ways we can experience these emotions. Learning to recognise when we feel fear or anger, and how to cope with them in a positive way, can make all the difference.

Mental Health Group will discuss the benefits and practice of goal setting.

By setting goals and having something to strive toward, we can continue to grow and develop into the best version of ourselves. From goal setting comes greater awareness of our lifestyle and the opportunity to create a vision for our future. How to make a goal and set yourself up for success will be explored.

Women’s Group will look at what positive self-talk is and how we can change the way we think about ourselves.

Negative self-talk often damages our identity and places limits on what we think we’re capable of. By shifting to positive self-talk, we can build confidence and move toward a better version of ourselves.

Men’s Group will be playing some cricket this week and having a discussion on Hard Times. This session will include conversations about how we get through hard times, how we recover from them and how we move forward. The group will meet at the Centre at the usual time of 4:30 pm.
