02.01.2022 Relationships Australia Canberra are running a free group for young people who have been impacted by family and domestic violence. The group, called Got Your Back, will provide young people with a safe space to receive support for issues they are facing related to their experience of family violence. It will also build a community of support around young people who are often isolated and feeling alone. The young people will be provided with coaching around healthy relationshi...ps and emotion coping skills too. The groups are beginning next week, so referrals will need to be made this week. The group is open to young people aged 12-25 years old. The young people must have been impacted by family or domestic violence- they may either be currently living with violence or it may have been part of their past. You can self refer, contact Niamh on 0427 431 288 or [email protected] There will be a North side and South side group. The South side group will be in Woden from 3.30pm-5pm on Monday afternoons and the North side group will be in Belconnen from 3.30pm-5pm on Thursday afternoons. The first half hour is getting a snack and getting comfortable, with a start at 4pm. Groups of a max of 8 participants will run for 6 weeks starting in the second week of November. They will continue to run in line with the school terms from next year. There will also be an informal drop-in hour in January for any young people who want to maintain contact and support in that time.
