𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡: 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 & 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

It’s the final week of the year at PIYP! A huge congratulations to everyone who has shown up and put in the work this year 🙌

This week, Addiction Support and Mental Health Group will be focusing on reflection and introspection. Both are important for examining who we are now, appreciating how far we’ve come, and thinking about what we want to work toward next.

Reflecting involves taking time to seriously consider who we are and the circumstances around us. So often we move from one thing to the next without stopping to think about our choices or how we can grow. Reflection allows us to take stock and gently redirect ourselves if needed.

Introspection involves observing our thoughts and feelings, making it a key skill in managing our emotions and mindset. It allows us to notice, interact with and regulate our emotions, rather than letting them control us.

Women’s Group will be heading out on an outing this week. This will be a great opportunity to do something different, enjoy some connection and check in with ourselves. Meet at the centre at 1pm.

Men’s Circle will be heading into the community for a classic BBQ to wrap up the term. We’ll reflect on the past term, talk about how we’ve grown and spend some relaxed time together. Meet at the centre at 4pm.

Stay tuned for our holiday timetable and updates across our socials 🩵

A lovely afternoon yesterday for our Women’s Group, celebrating all things Christmas with handmade decorations, festive music and a light afternoon tea 🎄✨

10/12/2025

Last week’s theme for our Women’s Group was Expanding Our Horizons — exploring new skills, new environments and new possibilities, and recognising that we are often more capable than we realise.

To bring that theme to life, the group visited the Barrabool CFA in Ceres 🚒

Tim, one of our Support Workers and a Volunteer Fire Fighter with the Ceres CFA, shared his knowledge of fire safety, equipment and community readiness. For many in the group, it was a chance to step into a space they’d never been in before and try something completely new.

The group had the opportunity to try the tanker hose, explore the CFA truck, and one of the ladies even sounded the siren 🚨

For some, these small moments were confidence-building. For others, they were a reminder that trying new things can shift how we see ourselves.

A huge thank you to Tim for giving his time, sharing his knowledge and creating such a great experience for our Women’s Group!

𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗧𝗘𝗡: 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 & 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦

Welcome to Week 10 at PIYP! It’s so close to the end of the year! Let’s keep going 🩵

This week our Addiction Support group will be looking at appreciating progress and exploring opportunities.

In recovery, we can become so focused on abstinence or the negatives that we forget how far we’ve come. Recognising change — and seeing what we’re capable of — is crucial for our mental health and long-term recovery. We’ll also discuss how routine can become complacency and how to keep building on our efforts.

Mental Health Group will be delving into loneliness and isolation.

These experiences can deeply impact our social wellbeing and how we process emotions. When we bottle things up or don’t have someone in our corner, challenges can feel bigger over time. We’ll explore how loneliness shows up for us and ways to respond in healthier, more connected ways.

Women’s Group will be doing a session on self-reflection.Reflecting on who we are, how far we’ve come and where we’re heading is key to strengthening our wellbeing and capacity for change. This session will look at practical, meaningful ways to self-reflect productively.

Men’s Group will be heading offsite for rock climbing and a discussion on physical health. What we eat, drink, how we move and how we sleep all directly affect our mental and social health. We’ll talk through simple steps to improve these areas.

Our Physical Fitness and Community Connection groups are open to all participants wanting a fitness challenge or wanting to explore more of the community. These are a great way to break routine and stay connected.

Come in for a chat or see our website if you need more info!

𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘: 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 & 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡-𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚

It's week 9 At PIYP. Let's do this!

This week in Addiction Support, we will be delving into how we can make good decisions and cope with regrets.

Having the ability to make decisions allows us to pursue things that can make our lives better. However, not all decisions are the right ones. Learning how to make good decisions, and how to cope when the wrong ones are made from time to time, will be discussed.

Mental Health Group will be considering how we can build our resilience.

The ability to bounce back after challenge and hardship is vital in recovery, personal development and everyday life. When we have the ability to bounce back, we are able to push through whatever challenges we face. What resilience looks like in practice, and how to develop it, will be discussed.

In our Women’s Group, we will be looking into how we can expand our horizons.

Learning new skills and knowledge empowers us to do new things and, more importantly, helps us see that we are more capable than we realise. This session will be an opportunity to learn some important skills that are rarely discussed. You don’t want to miss it!

Men’s Group will be doing a walk up the YouYangs!

This will be a great opportunity to challenge ourselves and see what we’re capable of, while also enjoying an amazing view. This will be an early start at 4:00pm.

We can’t wait to see you this week!

𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧: 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗘 & 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧

It's Week 8 at PIYP! We are slowly heading towards the end of term. Let's continue to do the work 👊

This week our Addiction Support Group will be exploring loneliness and isolation.

These experiences can have a significant impact on our social wellbeing, mental health and recovery. When we isolate ourselves and bottle things up, problems often grow, especially in our minds. This week, we’ll discuss how loneliness shows up for us and healthy ways to address it.

Our Mental Health Group will be looking at failure and the fear of failure.

Being afraid to make mistakes can hold us back from opportunities and affect how we see ourselves. We can treat failure as a reason to stop, or as a lesson that helps us grow. This session will explore practical ways to shift our mindset.

Women’s Group will be discussing trusting our instincts.

We all have senses that help us understand the world around us. When we don’t trust what we notice or feel, it can lead to confusion, fear and self-doubt. Learning to trust our instincts can help us better understand ourselves and the environments we’re in.

Men’s Group will be will be doing an outing this week. A chance to get out of routine, have some fun, socialise and check in with ourselves. Meet at the Centre at 4:00pm on Tuesday.

We can’t wait to see you this week!
