Going Within To Get Out
Going Within To Get Out is a fun, creative and caring program designed to guide us on a creative journey to know ourselves better through friendship, support and inspiration. Currently there are programs running for young women between the ages of 12 - 15 and 16 - 20 yrs. We come together once a week (roughly twelve group sessions) for a few hours to talk and learn about topics such as, ‘Who am I?’ ‘What do I think and feel about myself?’ ‘Healthy relationships with myself and others?’ and ‘Living my dreams and helping others
live theirs’.
We enjoy making new friends, meeting new people, talking about the stuff that matters to us, eating food, sitting on couches or on the floor, overcoming fears and discovering new confidences and our own gifts and interests within ourselves and within one another.
The book
The graphic nature of the author’s journal and sheer honesty in the disclosures of her traumatic up bringing combined with the 12 year recovery reflections, the topics, the writing and sharing, creative and meditative exercises is very new and different; the 12 year recovery reflections, the topics, the writing and sharing, creative and meditative exercises is very new and different. There is something for everyone if they are open to the emotional experience whether it be compassion or empathy and this is why we believe it is universal.

The aim of this project is to celebrate the youth. This is an ongoing social documentary portrait collection of young people in their bedrooms – photographed doing what they love to do . It is regionally based and embraces our diverse community. Each participant adds their hand written words to the photograph sharing what makes them feel happy. In addition to this and as part of this project participants who can play music are invited to play something they love at the opening celebration.
