CWHC - Cumberland Women's Health Centre A non-profit community based organisation providing women's health and DV response services These areas still remain the focus of the Centre today

Cumberland Women’s Health Centre (CWHC) is a non-profit community based organisation which was established 26 years ago to provide women’s health services and domestic violence specialist response services to women in the Parramatta, Holroyd, Auburn and Hills area. When the Centre first started in the early 90’s focus was placed upon providing services surrounding anti-violence towards women (part

icularly domestic violence), support for new and emerging groups within the community and activities for the elderly. The Centre recognised these areas as ones where there were gaps in service provision, especially with the provision of crisis assistance in the 4 Cumberland regions.

Tomorrow is the first day of Jean Hailes for Women's Health Women's Health Week! 💜💛

This year, the theme is "do it anyway", encouraging women to take small steps towards improving their health, in spite of obstacles. Each day, you can expect practical tips and resources following the daily themes of: to fuel, to move, to rest, to breathe and to connect.

This week we are advocating for women's health, we are advocating for your health! Even the smallest of changes can have big impacts, so this week we say "do it anyway"!

Our financial officer, Betty, had the chance to attend the Sisters of Mercy's morning tea this Wednesday! 💜💛

The Sisters of Mercy were giving out their grants on behalf of the St Michael's fund, a fund that has allowed us to run our art-focused groups, for which we are grateful! Alongside other attending services, Betty enjoyed a lovely morning tea and the chance to chat with fellow service providers.

You are all of these and more! 💜💛

Affirmations like these can boost your well-being whether you make them a consistent part of your routine or just perform them when in need of a little pick-me-up. They can also help replace negative self-talk and self-perception over time.

This week our Women's Health Group braved the rain to Auburn botanic gardens for the Cherry Blossom Festival! 🌸

The attendees loved the chance to get out and about and experience Japanese food, art and culture. They also got to engage with fellow local women and community members! Getting outside is brilliant for mental and physical health, something the Women's Health Group promotes through its activities. 💜💛

Today is 'Wear it Purple' Day, an annual Australian awareness day celebrating young, LGBTQIA+ people. This year's theme is "Colours of Courage" 💜💛

Being out and proud is itself an act of courage, especially when it can feel like you're alone. So today, we take the time to show young LGBTQIA+ people that they are not alone. We encourage people, today and everyday, to speak up against homophobia and transphobia.

Together, we can push back against hate and make change, echoing the courage of the changemakers before us, and modelling it for young people today.

Last week, our Women's Health Group had the chance to make some gorgeous prints and quickly fell in love with the process! 💜💛

Not only did they get a lovely piece of art to take home, but they also had the opportunity to engage with fellow community members. Through engagement with activities, the Women's Health Group promotes social integration to battle isolation and create safe spaces in which women can support one another and access therapeutic treatments.

This week our executive officer, Salwa, had the opportunity to speak at Every Moment Counts, hosted by the Hills Doctors Association! 💜💛

The event focused on the impact that primary medical care can have in supporting those impacted by domestic and family violence. Alongside fellow local leaders, including Mayor Michelle Byrne, and service providers, the event helped spread information and practical skills for medical providers to better help patients and build safer, more connected communities.
