Frequently Asked Questions

Find clarity on what to expect from the Creating Greatness initiative.

Who is this program for?

This initiative is designed for all Womyn, with particular responsiveness to those who have experienced domestic violence (DV), sexual assault (SA), and/or incarceration. It is a culturally safe space, especially attuned to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Womyn.

What does the scholarship cover? The scholarship covers full participation in the 10-week program, including all face-to-face workshops, printed materials (workbook and handbook), unlimited weekday phone/email support, and facilitation costs. There are 20 fully-funded places available.
What is meant by "peer-led" healing?

Peer-led healing means the program is built on the principle of Womyn supporting Womyn. Healing is shared rather than delivered in a clinical manner. Every participant becomes both a companion in healing and an encourager of growth for others.

Do I need to attend every session?

To gain the most from the journey and to support the collective dynamic of the group, consistent attendance is highly encouraged. However, we understand life happens, and weekday support is available to help you stay connected.
