Each week at PIYP, our groups explore a new theme that supports participants through their recovery journey. Here is what we are focusing on in Week 6.

This week in Addiction Support, we will be focusing on goal setting and looking at practical ways to achieve our goals. By setting goals and having something to strive towards, we are able to consistently grow and develop in the direction of our best self.

Goal setting brings with it a greater awareness of ourselves and our lifestyle, the opportunity to be honest about our vision for the future, and a plan for stepping outside of our comfort zone.

Mental Health Group will be exploring how we interact with the world and how our brains respond to stimulation. An increase or decrease in stimulation or sensation can change how we perceive the world and ourselves, and can have a significant impact on our mental health. This week we will look at how our brains process stimulation and how we can use our senses to better support our mental wellbeing.

Women's Group will be discussing how to find peace through mindfulness and gratitude. Life, and everything we have been through, can quietly take away our sense of peace. Mindfulness, being present and aware of our own mental state, and finding gratitude for what we have can help us stay grounded in the present and reclaim a sense of calm.

We are looking forward to seeing you this week!

Six months sober ๐ŸŽ‰

To celebrate this incredible milestone, Mandy treated herself to a trip to the hairdresser. Her stylist for the occasion was Candice, who also happens to be one of her support workers at PIYP.

We shared Mandy's story back in February when she was three months sober. Watching her continue to grow, thrive and celebrate herself is exactly why we do what we do.

Mandy, we are so proud of you ๐Ÿฉต and we love your new hair!!

So much of recovery comes down to that space.

The moment between feeling the fear and letting it stop you. Between the anger rising and the reaction that follows. Between the old belief and the choice to challenge it.

That space is small. But it is everything.

This week at PIYP we are doing the work of finding it ๐Ÿ‘Š

After 25 years of drug use and a period of homelessness, Celia (also known as Bro) wasn't sure where life was headed. A referral brought her to The Power In You Project and nearly two years later, she hasn't looked back.

For the first time in 37 years, Celia feels like she fits in somewhere. A place with no judgement, where she is heard, supported and valued.

Her key worker Bron has been a constant. When Celia feels like no one is hearing her, Bron is there pointing her in the right direction and giving her someone to fall back on. Alongside Bron, Sav and Candice have also walked closely with Celia throughout her journey.

That support has made the unimaginable possible. After 25 years of drug use, Celia has now been drug free for one year, the longest she has ever been. Rather than stopping everything all at once, the focus has been on education, harm reduction and taking things slowly and sustainably.

Celia has also engaged in psychology sessions with Natasha at PIYP, with Bron and Sav by her side every step of the way.

When asked what she would say to someone thinking about coming to PIYP, Celia didn't hesitate.

"Go for it. You've got nothing to lose but everything to gain."

Recovery doesn't always look like a group session or a one on one appointment. Sometimes it looks like shooting hoops in the backyard ๐Ÿ€

The PIYP centre has a basketball court available to participants whenever they need it. Before or after groups, between appointments, or simply as a reason to come in and connect with the team and each other.

We believe that community, movement and a sense of belonging are just as important as any formal program. This is what holistic support looks like in practice.

This week in Addiction Support, we will be exploring how to overcome fear and manage anger. Fear and anger are two of the most powerful emotions we can experience, and they have a profound influence on our thoughts and behaviour, particularly in recovery.

This week we will look at how to recognise these emotions when they arise and how to respond to them in a healthy and constructive way.

Mental Health Group will be discussing neurodiversity - what it is, how different brains work, and how it presents in everyday life. It's a fascinating and important conversation, and one that is deeply relevant to mental health and wellbeing. We're looking forward to exploring this one together.

Women's Group will be focusing on honesty with self. Sometimes we can become held back by negative beliefs or, to talk honestly, the excuses we tell ourselves. It is only when we are truly honest about those beliefs and begin to challenge them that real change becomes possible.

Our physical health sessions are in full swing this term. PT Terry is back running Personal Training every Tuesday from 11:00am-12:30pm, and Boxing is running every Thursday from 11:00am-12:30pm. Come and give it a go ๐Ÿ’ช
