✨ Growth happens when we walk together 👣

Peer support is more than conversation—it’s connection, courage, and community. When we share our stories, we create spaces where hope feels possible and belonging becomes real.

Every challenge is lighter when someone says, “I understand.” Every success is sweeter when it’s celebrated together.

💜 If you’ve ever felt alone, know this: there’s a circle waiting for you. Let’s build it, together.

🌟 Celebrating Zahli’s Amazing Progress! 🌟

We are so proud of Zahli! 🩷 She has been working incredibly hard with her therapists, family, and school to smash her goals—and her dedication is truly inspiring. Every step forward is a testament to her strength and determination.

Keep shining bright, Zahli—you’re showing us all what’s possible when we never give up! 💪✨
You’re a superstar! 🌟

🎶 A Night Out with Great Music & Even Better Company! 🎶

Some of our crew headed to the Dubbo RSL for dinner and a fantastic night watching Ross Wilson live — and by the looks of those smiles, it was a hit! 🙌✨

Good food, great music, and even better company… it doesn’t get much better than that.

🌟 Starstruck in Dubbo! 🌟

Anna and Support Worker Leah had an amazing night out at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre over the weekend, catching the fabulous production of Hairspray!

From big hair to big laughs, the show was full of energy — and the best part? Anna even got to meet some of the stars for a photo! 💜✨

We love seeing our participants out in the community, soaking up local talent and making memories.

We’re still buzzing from Melbourne Cup Day! 🐎💙

It was such a great chance for our crew to get out, enjoy the atmosphere, and be part of a big community event at the Dubbo Turf Club. We love taking part in days like this — they help us stay involved in what’s happening locally and build connections across the Dubbo community. 🫶

A huge thank-you again to the for hosting such a fantastic day. We’re already excited for the next event! ✨

💜 This is leadership in action.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind Empowered Choices, this post from Orana Support Service says it all.

Our Director, Marissa, leads with kindness, compassion, and a deep belief in community. When someone needs support, she doesn’t hesitate — she shows up. She gives. She cares. She acts.

And this is exactly the spirit that flows through our whole ECSS team.
When you join Empowered Choices — as a participant, a staff member, or a community partner — you’re joining a team built on heart. A team that steps up for others. A team that leads with humanity first.

We’re so proud of you, Marissa. Thank you for inspiring us and leading the way. 💜

Community Kindness in Action

We are so lucky to have such amazing, big-hearted people in our community — and Marissa Parker, you are truly one of them!

When Jamie, our Sturt House Manager, put out a call for kitchen items for three residents moving into their new homes, Marissa didn’t hesitate to help. She went above and beyond, purchasing five sets of kitchen goods from Kmart for our clients, which Jamie will collect on their behalf.

Marissa, your kindness, compassion, and generosity mean the world to us and to the men who are starting fresh in their new homes. You are truly amazing — thank you for making a difference!

Thanks to the Dubbo Turf Club for hosting such a fantastic event — it was great to get out, support local, and celebrate with our community! ✨

🎉💙 Happy Birthday, Mason! 🎂🐻

Please join us in wishing a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our mate Mason! 🥳

Mason’s been smashing his goals — especially his cooking supports — loves a meat pie, and never goes far without his best mate, Teddy. 🐻

Mason, we hope your day is full of laughs, good food, and plenty of fun! 💙
