Collaborating to Empower Young Women

Well-I-AM Program - Collaborating for our Community

Our Well-I-AM Program is in full swing! Well-I-AM is an early intervention program facilitated by Well Education that empowers young women in High School with confidence, resilience, and positive self-worth. It’s been fantastic to meet the group of young women and they’ve been discovering more about emotions, resilience and nutrition with open hearts and minds.

This program was made possible through a partnership between The Place, Laura Collison from Well Education, Jodie Harrison MP for Charlestown and GPT Charlestown Square and their wonderful team. Through this partnership, we were able to offer the program for free to 15 young women, which opened up the opportunity to those who may not have participated otherwise.

We’re thrilled about this successful collaboration that enabled this trial program for young women and families in our community. We hope to secure further funding to offer the program to more young women as the relevance, need, and impact of this program is clearly evident.
