Yarn. Create. Belong. Weekly Women’s Group
Yarn. Create. Belong. is a community-driven 12-month project supporting women, particularly parents and carers of children aged 0-12, who face social isolation, parenting challenges, and trauma.
By providing a safe and welcoming space, the program encourages women to connect, build trust, and engage in skill-sharing through informal, culturally inclusive gatherings. Facilitated by qualified staff and university students, these sessions promote healing, enhance communication, and strengthen social bonds using trauma-informed practices.
