It’s THAT time again… 🎤✨

The Glen’s Got Talent is back and ready to bring the house down! 🎶🔥

Join us for an afternoon of questionable dance moves, surprise superstars, and performances that range from “wow!” to “how?!”

Expect singing, dancing, a bit of chaos, and a whole lot of fun — you might even discover the next big thing (or at least someone who thinks they are 😉).

All welcome — come along, cheer loudly, and maybe even jump up and show us what you’ve got! 🎉

My name is Amanda. I grew up in the Fairfield area, though I moved around a bit. I lived in Cairns for three years before returning to New South Wales. I am a proud Wiradjuri–Dharug woman. My partner, Gavin was born and raised in the Bankstown area..

For a long time, Gavin and I were caught in the cycle of addiction . While my culture has always been my backbone, my struggle with addiction made me feel disconnected from my spirit, my ancestors, and my sense of purpose.

We both knew we wanted a different life — for ourselves, for our children anf for each other — but we also knew we couldn’t do it alone.

That’s when we made the life‑changing decision to apply to The Glen. We chose The Glen because it’s more than just a facility; it’s a culturally safe, holistic environment that supports healing of the mind, body and spirit.

We committed to the three‑month program, and the experience was profoundly spiritual. Being on Country allowed me to lower my walls and truly begin the hard work of healing.

We learned so much from the case managers and from other clients, both men and women. I really valued the individualised plans, which didn’t just focus on addiction but also explored the triggers and past trauma that led us there.

Through this process, we both learned that we aren’t broken — we are worthy of a good life.

Because of the support we received at The Glen, Gavin and I now have the tools we need to stay sober .

We’ve walked away with practical life skills, a renewed sense of self‑worth, a stronger connection to our community, and a deeper connection to my cultural identity. We are no longer just surviving — we are growing stronger every day because we did this together.

Thank you The Glen for showing us a better way forward.

We had a wonderful time getting creative during our art session with Shanane, the ACLO from Tuggerah Lakes Police District.

It was such a special opportunity to come together, yarn and learn through art.

The Glen Boys really value their relationship with the guys at Talk2MeBro

Their passion for supporting men’s mental health and creating space for open, honest conversations makes a real difference. It’s always great having them connect with our men and remind everyone that you’re never alone and that speaking up takes real strength.

We’re grateful for the support and the ongoing friendship. 💙

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.
