BLOOM - a 6 week program for women and young adults
Our flagship six week recovery program for women and young adults
OUR DFV RECOVERY AND EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
A 6-week program for women and young adults ready to take the next step forward.
BLOOM is a small, supported group program designed to help women understand their journey, and learn pathways to healing.
This is a space to be honest, to be heard and to grow. At your own pace, with women walking a similar path beside you.
WHO RUNS IT
Shelley Spencer
Shelley Spencer wrote Bloom, our six-week recovery program, and co-facilitates it.
She holds a Bachelor of Social Science and a Bachelor of Social Work, and will hold her Masters in both by mid 2027. Her qualifications are only half of what she brings to the room.
Shelley is a child survivor of domestic and family violence. She knows what it is to grow up inside it, and what it takes to build a life on the other side. That lived experience, paired with years of professional practice, is written into every week of Bloom. It is why the program meets women where they actually are, not where a textbook says they should be.

Child minding
Nobody misses out because they have no one to watch their children. They are always welcome.
Dinner for your children
So that after the evening session you can get them straight home to bed.
Something to eat
Morning Tea during the day and supper at night. We know learning can be hard on an empty stomach.
BLOOM is for you if…
You have left and everyone thinks the hard part is over. You are rebuilding on your own. You are tired of explaining yourself. You want to be around women who already understand.
