Following a group game using watercolour, the 14-18 year olds spent Monday afternoon exploring relationships and relational dynamics within their Monday group to finalise their group contract.

The 14-18 year old group kicked off Term 2 by making dolls. The dolls, created and named by the participants, then shared what they wanted in their group contract. All the dolls were made using recycled textiles that the participants selected themselves as each doll carries its own story and is shaped by memory and imagination.

By training community-based counselors, the organization expands access to mental health support in under-resourced communities.

“At Lefika, I found a safe haven that helped me build confidence and discover my purpose. Today, I’m proud to give back to the same community that supported me.”
