On Thursday we opened our doors for a Christmas Day breakfast, sharing food, conversation and connection with those who joined us.

The Christmas period can look different for everyone, and being able to spend time together reminds us how important community and connection are, especially at this time of year.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the morning as special as it was. We’re so grateful to have shared it with you all.

It’s the final week of the year at PIYP! A huge congratulations to everyone who has shown up and put in the work this year πŸ™Œ

This week, Addiction Support and Mental Health Group will be focusing on reflection and introspection. Both are important for examining who we are now, appreciating how far we’ve come, and thinking about what we want to work toward next.

Reflecting involves taking time to seriously consider who we are and the circumstances around us. So often we move from one thing to the next without stopping to think about our choices or how we can grow. Reflection allows us to take stock and gently redirect ourselves if needed.

Introspection involves observing our thoughts and feelings, making it a key skill in managing our emotions and mindset. It allows us to notice, interact with and regulate our emotions, rather than letting them control us.

Women’s Group will be heading out on an outing this week. This will be a great opportunity to do something different, enjoy some connection and check in with ourselves. Meet at the centre at 1pm.

Men’s Circle will be heading into the community for a classic BBQ to wrap up the term. We’ll reflect on the past term, talk about how we’ve grown and spend some relaxed time together. Meet at the centre at 4pm.

Stay tuned for our holiday timetable and updates across our socials 🩡

Last week’s theme for our Women’s Group was Expanding Our Horizons β€” exploring new skills, new environments and new possibilities, and recognising that we are often more capable than we realise.

To bring that theme to life, the group visited the Barrabool CFA in Ceres πŸš’

Tim, one of our Support Workers and a Volunteer Fire Fighter with the Ceres CFA, shared his knowledge of fire safety, equipment and community readiness. For many in the group, it was a chance to step into a space they’d never been in before and try something completely new.

The group had the opportunity to try the tanker hose, explore the CFA truck, and one of the ladies even sounded the siren 🚨

For some, these small moments were confidence-building. For others, they were a reminder that trying new things can shift how we see ourselves.

A huge thank you to Tim for giving his time, sharing his knowledge and creating such a great experience for our Women’s Group!

Welcome to Week 10 at PIYP! It’s so close to the end of the year! Let’s keep going 🩡

This week our Addiction Support group will be looking at appreciating progress and exploring opportunities.

In recovery, we can become so focused on abstinence or the negatives that we forget how far we’ve come. Recognising change β€” and seeing what we’re capable of β€” is crucial for our mental health and long-term recovery. We’ll also discuss how routine can become complacency and how to keep building on our efforts.

Mental Health Group will be delving into loneliness and isolation.

These experiences can deeply impact our social wellbeing and how we process emotions. When we bottle things up or don’t have someone in our corner, challenges can feel bigger over time. We’ll explore how loneliness shows up for us and ways to respond in healthier, more connected ways.

Women’s Group will be doing a session on self-reflection.Reflecting on who we are, how far we’ve come and where we’re heading is key to strengthening our wellbeing and capacity for change. This session will look at practical, meaningful ways to self-reflect productively.

Men’s Group will be heading offsite for rock climbing and a discussion on physical health. What we eat, drink, how we move and how we sleep all directly affect our mental and social health. We’ll talk through simple steps to improve these areas.

Our Physical Fitness and Community Connection groups are open to all participants wanting a fitness challenge or wanting to explore more of the community. These are a great way to break routine and stay connected.

Come in for a chat or see our website if you need more info!
