Hi, I’m Miri. I’m from Newcastle.

Before I came to The Glen, my life was full of chaos. I was overwhelmed and struggling to cope with the weight of addiction and past trauma.

Everything felt out of control, and I didn’t know how to move forward.

But when I arrived at The Glen, something shifted. I felt a deep sense of safety and healing.

I reconnected with my culture, and for the first time in a long time, I felt grounded.

Through my time there, I learned that my experiences — no matter how painful — have shaped me into a stronger woman.

The Glen for Women helped me rediscover who I am and gave me the confidence I thought I’d lost.

Today, my life is calm. I have my children back in my life. I’ve found my laugh again. And I feel stronger than ever — proud of the woman I’ve become.

Episode 2 of our sneak peeks into the upcoming Glen Cookbook! 🍴

We might not have the flashiest kitchen or the newest appliances, but what we do have is a Glen home filled with love.

Our love language? Collecting fresh produce from our own garden, preparing meals together in the kitchen, sharing laughter, connection, and stories — and sitting down as a family to enjoy it all.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about what you have… it’s about who you have. 💛

And of course, the biggest thanks goes to our amazing Glen guys and gals who took the floor and gave us some unforgettable performances. You all rock! 💥

Hi, I’m Kimberley , I’m from Newcastle.

Before I came to The Glen, my life felt meaningless. I was caught in a cycle of choices that led me away from the person I wanted to be. I had lost my connection to my family, to my kids, and to myself.

I truly believed everyone was better off without me — and I didn’t think I’d ever find the courage to change.

When I arrived at The Glen, I felt safe, seen, and heard. I was scared — scared I’d fail, scared that everything I’d been running from would be too much to face.

But The Glen gave me exactly what I needed, and so much more. For the first time in my life, I felt like I belonged.

I’ve learned so much about myself — how to cope in situations I used to escape from, how to face the guilt I carry, and how to ask for help without shame.

I’ve learned that I’m not alone, and that healing is possible.

Today, my life has meaning. I believe in myself and in my recovery. I feel confident setting boundaries and walking away from situations that don’t serve me. The Glen didn’t just help me change — it saved my life.

I’m proud of how far I’ve come 💜

We had a mammoth morning in the kitchen at The Glen for Men cooking up meatball subs, grilled chicken & salad and some delicious sweet treats.

The best moments are when we all get in the kitchen and share recipes and create awesome feeds.

Hi, I’m Jacqui. I’m a proud Wiradjuri woman from Wellington, NSW.

Before I came to The Glen, I was struggling. I felt unstable, alone, and carried a lot of pain and fear. I was a broken version of myself.

When I arrived at The Glen, everything changed. I felt warmth, love, connection and support from the staff and my sisters — they loved me back to life.

I learned how to take accountability for my choices and grow from them. I found strength and reconnected with my culture.

Today, I feel proud of everything I’ve achieved. I’m healthier, happier, and more connected — not just to myself, but to others.

The Glen gave me more than just tools for recovery — it gave me connection, community, and a deep sense of hope.

I’m so grateful. They’ve shown me the importance of self-worth and honesty. 💛

We’re giving you a taste of something special from our upcoming Glen Group Cookbook!

This week, our CEO Alex steps into the kitchen to share a dish that’s been lovingly passed down through his own family — now shared with our Glen family. ❤️

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to experience one of Alex’s home-cooked meals, you’ll know that alone is reason enough to grab a copy of the cookbook when it launches!

Our Story

The Glen is a residential Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre for men. Located on the beautiful Central Coast of New South Wales.

In the early 1990s, The Glen’s Founder, Cyril Hennessy, worked as a parole officer and was alarmed at the rate of recidivism in the Australian justice system. He could see that men would continue re-offending because they needed treatment for their drug and alcohol addiction, which was causing the offending behaviours.

With strength, passion and determination, The Glen was established in 1994 and has been a shining example of the triumph of the Koori and the human spirit for the past 24 years. Indigenous values are adopted throughout The Glen’s program, evident through the strength-based approach which shows clients what they can do, not what they can’t do. Indigenous Elders are regularly invited to join the groups to share cultural stories, wisdoms and philosophies with all our clients.
