headspace Joondalup Term 2 Group Calendar

After School Empower hour groups are back for Term 2 2024!

At headspace Joondalup we have been running fortnightly groups using the Brief Interventions Toolkit from Orygen; called Empower Hour.

Every group is free and runs from 4.30-6pm and they do not need to be a young person of headspace to attend. 

Tuesday 30th April: Mastering your mood 

This group explores effective ways to manage mood-related challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Participants will learn practical techniques for recognising and regulating their emotions. Topics include mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral strategies, relaxation exercises, and communication skills. The group provides a supportive environment where young people can share experiences, gain insights, and build resilience for better mental well-being.

Tuesday 21st May: Navigating Alcohol & Drugs 

Do you or someone you know use alcohol or other drugs? Do you want to learn ways you could make your alcohol and/or other drug use safer? Do you want to learn ways to cut down or stop using alcohol or other drugs?

Come along to the alcohol and other drug group to work with one of the youth counsellors from NMCADS Joondalup to explore answers to your questions and to expand your understanding of alcohol and other drugs

Tuesday 28th May: Conflict conquerors 

This group provides a safe and supportive space for young people to learn and practice effective problem-solving skills, specifically targeting common challenges such as conflict resolution and dealing with bullying.
