A new chapter for the CHAA HUB!

Following the completion of the two-year CHAA Pilot, we’re pleased to be reforming the CHAA HUB and continuing its important work supporting people impacted by domestic and family violence. The HUB brings together valuable expertise to help guide CHAA and support our group facilitators and Natural Helpers through training, education and coaching, strengthening their ability to safely and confidently support others in the community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the HUB throughout the pilot, and to SSI, BRISSC, Support Groups Queensland, Family Peace Building (Multicultural Australia, Souths Community HUB and RAILS) and 4 Voices for their continued support. We’re also pleased to welcome back Mary, Marian and Peter, who were part of the Inala Community House team when CHAA was first established, and welcome Hayley, who brings valuable experience and a service integration perspective. We look forward to continuing to strengthen the support available within our community. 🩵

If you would like to learn more about how you can play a role in creating a community free from violence, please reach out to us at [email protected].

We had a forest walk and lunch to celebrate Neusha, who is finishing up 2 years of volunteering with us! Thank you for your dedication to the mammoth ongoing project of updating the online directory for accurate info about 1000+ groups, always being up for helping with all things admin, event support, moral support and more.

A lovely visit to Multicultural Wellness Group with Roshni and Dee today at Zillmere Community Centre! We enjoyed chatting over a delicious buffet lunch generously cooked by each group member.

Jess learned how the group started with World Wellness Group, and continues on as a welcoming monthly support group with the immense Roshni and Dee helping bring people together and organise activities like tai chi today. Previously Louisa helped the group get a guest speaker from Older Persons Advocacy Network. We're keen to keep supporting the group's exciting plans and ideas!

If you are in a peer support group and want to chat about your ideas or assistance needed, we could help!

Connection grows in the spaces and opportunities we intentionally create for one another. People in over 1000 peer support groups across Queensland harness the power of gathering together around shared experiences to help each other through challenges, and build a better life for all.

Anyone can feel lonely – 1 in 2 people living in Australia from all ages and walks of life are lonely and/or socially isolated. It doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. It's our cue to connect.

There’s so many ways to for connection. Saying hello to a familiar face. An open invitation. A warm welcome. A shared interest. Small, deliberate acts help people show up, belong and feel less alone.

How do you make room for connection?
