𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗧𝗪𝗢: 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗘𝗧 & 𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗬

Welcome to Week 2 at PIYP!

This week in Addiction Support, we will be looking at mindset, motivation and discipline. Our mindset has a significant impact on how we live and how we see ourselves. Shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset can increase our ability to endure challenges and work through difficult situations.

We’ll also explore the difference between motivation and discipline, and why understanding both is key to making positive and consistent change.

Our Mental Health Group will be discussing self-awareness and identity. Self-awareness is our ability to look at ourselves objectively and includes being aware of our thoughts, emotions and behaviours, and how they impact us. By understanding how we feel and why we do what we do, we begin the process of change.

Part of this involves exploring our identity, including our values, purpose and sense of self, and how living in alignment with these can support our wellbeing.

Our Women’s Group will be looking into habits and routines. Many of our behaviours are habitual and can have either positive or negative impacts on our lives. Bringing awareness to our automatic behaviours and daily routines allows us to make meaningful changes over time. Women’s Group will be exploring this in a practical and actionable way this week.

Our Men’s Group will be heading out for a walk and talking about who we are and who we want to be. Often, the way we see ourselves and the life we’re living don’t always line up. This session will explore why that happens and how we can begin to bridge that gap, all while getting some fresh air and seeing some new sights.

We can’t wait to see you all this week.

New Directions is a peer-led support group at The Power In You Project for people affected by the justice system who want to make positive, lasting change.

The group is designed for those looking to build new connections after incarceration, step away from old patterns and create opportunities for a more stable and meaningful future.

Through shared experience and peer support, New Directions helps participants build foundations for life beyond the justice system, including pathways into employment and community connection.

If you’re looking for positive support and a fresh start, please reach out to us 🩵

We’re officially back for 2026 🙌

Our program runs seven days per week following the school term. Each week focuses on different themes, with weekly support group topics designed to reflect key stages of recovery and personal growth.

This week marks our first week of groups for the year. Here’s what each group will be focusing on:

𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗢𝗡𝗘: 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 & 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚

Addiction Support won’t be running this week, as tomorrow (Monday) is a public holiday. The group will return next week.

Our Mental Health Group will be featuring a new curriculum this term and will be kicking off with a discussion on what mental health is, why it’s important, and how it impacts our everyday lives. We will also explore the importance of coping strategies and how we can implement them into our routines.

Our Women’s Group will discuss the benefits and practice of goal setting. By setting goals and having something to strive towards, we are able to consistently grow and develop in the direction of our best self. Goal setting encourages greater awareness of ourselves and our lifestyle, as well as the opportunity to create a vision for our future.

Men’s Group is kicking off the term with bowling and checking in with each other after the holiday period. This will be a great opportunity to catch up while enjoying a bit of friendly competition. We’ll be meeting at PIYP and providing transport to and from bowling.

Our full Term 1 timetable will be posted to our website soon.

It’s a great week to start the year with. Let’s do this!

Homelessness and incarceration are deeply linked.

More than 40% of people entering prison were already without stable housing, and around 1 in 2 expect to leave prison without a home.

This is why support can’t start and stop at the prison gate.

Without stability, connection and ongoing community support, the cycle continues.

We understand that every individual’s recovery is different, and we believe there should be no time limits placed on recovery.

Instead, our program supports participants through stages of progression, allowing them to move forward when they’re ready.

Our program runs seven days per week and follows the school term. Each term, our weekly support group topics are designed to align with these stages of recovery, meeting people where they’re at and supporting progress over time 🩵

For more information on our program and support groups, visit our website or feel free to drop in and see us at the centre.
