Our Programs are designed for the long game.
Not crisis. Not quick fixes. The real, steady work of rebuilding your life on your own terms, next to women who already understand because they're doing it too.
Recovery is an active process.
Programs rotate through the year and the school terms. Every one of them is free.
Support the whole way through. Some available now, and some to come.

Circle of Security
You can leave the violence and still be parenting in the shadow of it.
Circle of Security is an evidence-based, attachment-focused parenting program that helps caregivers read what their child is actually asking for, and respond to it. Not perfectly. Just well enough, often enough, to build a relationship that holds.
Over eight weeks, in a small group capped at 12, parents learn to understand their child's emotional world, recognise the need underneath the behaviour, sit with big emotions instead of bracing against them, and rebuild the connection that violence interrupted.
There is no judgement in this room. Nobody is being assessed. It's parents working out how to do this next part well.
-
Eight weeks. Small group, maximum 12. Delivered in a safe, supportive environment.
-
TBC - running during term 4 2026

The class will be run at our Somewhere To Go Community Centre, which is located in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast.

Next Chapter: Financial Independence Program
Delivered in collaboration with Fenwick Collective
Made possible by the Empowering Queensland Women Grant Program Round 2 2025
A 4-week program for women ready to take control of their financial future.
Money is one of the hardest parts of rebuilding.
Financial abuse doesn't end when she leaves. It shows up in the debt left in her name, the accounts she was never allowed to see, the years out of the workforce, the letters she's scared to open. Rebuilding financially is not just about budgeting. It's about getting back the control that was taken.
Next Chapter is a practical financial literacy program for women rebuilding after domestic and family violence. No jargon, no judgement, and no assumption that you should already know this.
You'll leave with tools you can use straight away, and with the confidence to make decisions about your own money again.
