Community, Compassion & Connection

Our Community Connection Group takes place on a Monday and Friday at our House of Hope in Woombye or at a chosen location across the Sunshine Coast.

There are no dates or program lengths. Our space is open and flexible for individuals to come in and out as they need/want to [once they have completed our intake process]. In this coming together, we invite individuals to join us as they are. Our facilitators and volunteer community will meet you with respect, compassion and together invite diverse experiencing of [simply] ’being in the world.’

We alternate between building multimodal skills and creative pursuits; ceramic hand building, tie-dying, sewing, bees wax wraps, letter writing, trauma-informed yoga, gardening etc. Or we arrive at a chosen location across the Sunshine Coast and engage in a gentle walk in the botanical gardens, visiting an art gallery, spending time at the falls or visiting the markets etc.

“Time for You” is an opportunity to connect one on one with one of our facilitators. During this time, we invite a momentary softening, time for reflection, support, and connection as you continue to walk this journey through Recovery. As with all our offerings here at endED, we hope to maintain an offering that is; consistent, safe, organic, dynamic; led by you.

We hope that [while brief] “Time for You” will offer individuals the opportunity a frequent point of connection that is; collaborative, supportive, and consistent, as we acknowledge that this is often a barrier encountered throughout recovery.

Our approach throughout these sessions is informed by the relevant Guidelines and Policy referenced in our service approach. It is important to note that this is not to replace evidence-based models, rather to compliment your current team of supports.

endED recognises the need for a holistic and personalised approach in the various stages of recovery. Our Recovery Coaches are accredited by the Carolyn Costin Institute. They are there in support of your existing multidisciplinary team offering support across and between your daily needs.

This relationship will be co-constructed depending on what will best uncover and strengthen your ‘healthy self.’ This means, the boundaries dictating the level of support is fluid and reassessed throughout.

This includes, and is not limited to; attending appointments, meal support, shopping, uncovering new activities and support regimes, facilitating personal goals etc.

Welcome to our in-house Mindful Studio, 'CocoonED.' This studio has been in development for the last 18 months, forming slowly by our dedicated trauma-informed yoga practitioners who, in collaboration with other mindful practitioners and the community itself, have shaped the core values that makes this studio unique.

We are thrilled to share with you our timetable that has a range of offerings for participants, families, loved ones, supports, siblings and the wider community.

*Coming Soon

endED has encountered immeasurable support and allyship. We are so grateful to all of the individuals who have joined our community to strengthen and inject vibrancy that otherwise could not have been sought. Amongst our community is a strong representation of Lived Experience Peer Support and Guest Facilitators, who together create a space that is representative of the wider community, contained within a safe and supportive environment.

Co-hosted by Millie Thomas and Gen Mora, this fortnightly zoom group provides an opportunity for individuals around Australia and New Zealand to access a regular group coaching session.
