Last Friday, our Community Connection group headed to the Geelong Foodshare kitchen on Mercer Street for our first cooking group at the new location πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

With two teams cooking and three participant judges deciding the winner, the kitchen had a bit of a MasterChef energy about it.

Best of all, there was plenty of food to go around and the wonderful Geelong Foodshare volunteers got to share in the meal too.

A huge thank you to Geelong Foodshare for having us. If you would like to find out more about the incredible work they do in our community, visit geelongfoodshare.org

Addiction Support kicks off this morning at 11am with Neami and the SMART Recovery program. Each session explores practical tools for understanding and working through addiction.

Straight after, Art Therapy will be exploring patience, tolerance and empathy. Three qualities that take time to develop but can quietly transform the way we relate to ourselves and others 🎨

Our Mental Health Group on Tuesday will be discussing stigma and connection. The way we interact and connect with others is central to our social and mental wellbeing. This week the group will explore what stigma is, how it can negatively impact us and how we can navigate it while continuing to build meaningful connections with the people around us.

Our Women's Group on Wednesday will be exploring fear and how to manage it. Fear has a powerful influence on our mental health and the decisions we make in life. This week the group will look at how we experience fear, how we tend to act on it and how we can begin to address it and move forward in a healthier way.

And of course there is plenty more happening throughout the week including our morning walks, Personal Training, Gentle Yoga and Friday Community Connection. View our full timetable on our website.

Friday's Community Connection group spent the morning exploring Creative Geelong in the historic Centrepoint Arcade 🎨

The arcade is brimming with local talent β€” exhibitions, vintage wares and galleries around every corner. As the group wandered through, they reflected on the role creativity plays in their own lives and shared where their personal talents lie.

The visit wrapped up with a chat with Lou, who runs Creative Geelong and shared some of the history behind this special place.

Markets are held every third Saturday. Well worth a visit!

It's Week 8 here at PIYP. Let's put in the work!

Addiction Support is running with Neami again this week as part of our ongoing SMART Recovery program. A structured, supportive approach to understanding and working through addiction.

Our Mental Health Group will be exploring the importance of sleep and rest. The length and quality of our sleep has just as much impact on our mental health as it does on our physical health. This week the group will look at why sleep matters, what good sleep habits look like, what sleep hygiene means in practice and how we can start getting a better night's rest.

Our Women's Group will be discussing mindset and motivation. Our mindset has a significant impact on how we live and how we see ourselves. Shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset increases our ability to work through challenges and stay the course. The group will also explore the difference between motivation and discipline and why understanding both is key to making positive, consistent change.

Art Therapy today will be exploring assertiveness and speaking up for yourself 🎨

Personal Training and Boxing are also running this week on Tuesday and Thursday. Check our timetable for times πŸ’ͺ

We look forward to seeing everyone this week.

Over the last two weeks, our Friday Community Connection Group has been on a photography expedition in Geelong πŸ“Έ

Here are the photos from the first week, where the group explored the art of perspective. A simple shift in angle, distance or focus can change everything you see.

Yesterday our Art Group explored establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries 🎨

What we love most about this group is the richness that comes from everyone bringing their own perspective and interpretation to the table. Every session ends with the room looking completely different, and that is the beauty of it.

Art Group runs every Monday from 1pm at our Geelong centre.

Welcome to Week 7 at PIYP. Here is what is on this week across our support groups.

Addiction Support will again be joined by Neami this week for another SMART Recovery session. If you missed last week, this is a great opportunity to come along and try a fresh, practical approach to your recovery journey.

Our Mental Health Group will be discussing diet, nutrition and body image. What we put into our bodies has a direct impact on how we feel, how we function and our overall mental health. This week the group will also explore what happens when our relationship with food and our bodies becomes unhealthy, and how we can begin to shift that towards something more positive and balanced.

Women's Group will be looking at how we can expand our horizons. Learning new skills and gaining new knowledge empowers us to do things we never thought possible and, more importantly, can show us just how capable we truly are. This week's session will introduce participants to some important and rarely discussed skills. One not to miss.

Art Therapy this week will be exploring how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries. A theme that runs through so much of what we do at PIYP and one that is always worth revisiting 🎨

For those in Norlane, our Tuesday morning connection group at The Aviary and our Thursday BBQ at Labuan Square are still running each week. We would love for you to join us!
