🏉 Grand Final day should be safe for everyone.

Today is about footy, family, friends and celebrating. But major sporting events can also be a time of heightened risk of domestic and family violence.

Sport doesn’t cause violence. Alcohol, a win or a loss are never an excuse for abuse, control or violence.

As we enjoy the NRL Grand Final, let’s look out for each other, on and off the field.

This week, The Survivor Service was invited to Brisbane for Strengthening the Foundations, Collaboration for Change: Queensland Statewide Primary Prevention Symposium.

It was a valuable opportunity to bring a regional North Queensland perspective into the conversation, while learning from others and building new connections and momentum that we can bring home to Townsville and into the work of The Survivor Service.

Across two days, we joined practitioners, program leaders, policy professionals, advocates and researchers from across Queensland to connect, share knowledge and explore new ideas for strengthening domestic and family violence primary prevention.

Thank you to the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety, Women’s Health and Equality Queensland, and the Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Council for bringing us together.

BREATHE • MOVE • CONNECT

This October and November, The Survivor Service is creating welcoming spaces for women to take some time for themselves, to move, breathe, slow down, connect and explore practical wellbeing practices they can take into everyday life.

You don't need to be experienced in yoga - Come as you are.

And if you'd feel more comfortable coming with someone, bring a friend, family member or support person with you too.

🌿 Meet Nicolette

We're incredibly fortunate to have Nicolette Bell travelling from Sydney to facilitate these sessions.

Nicolette is a survivor-practitioner and experienced yoga teacher with more than 30 years of yoga practice and 16 years of teaching. She has undertaken intensive yogic training in India and brings experience in trauma-responsive approaches, Yogic Studies and traditional yogic practice.

Her approach brings together movement, breath, mindfulness and traditional yogic practices in a way that is grounded, compassionate and accessible.

An immersion for a day. Practices for every day.

📍 Sessions will be held across the Inner City, Thuringowa and Northern Beaches areas, with different days and times available.

Places are limited and registration is essential. You're welcome to register for more than one session.

💛 Breathe • Move • Connect has been made possible through the generous support of Yoga For Good Foundation. We're incredibly grateful for their support in making these free wellbeing opportunities available to women in our community.
