The project recently delivered it's first program.
Here is what two of the 2019 participants said.
Simone: “Before joining the project, I was lost. I have lived with mental health issues most of my life and three years ago I had a major relapse. When I heard about the project, I nearly didn’t apply. But I’m so glad I did. I feel like I can accomplish anything. I feel connected and whole.”
Suzy: “Being surrounded by amazing, capable, resourceful women can't help but have a positive impact on me and I really feel like my involvement with the Project has helped to pull me out of a rut and put me on a much clearer path. "
Monash University's Associate Professor of Education Ruth Jeans: “The Women’s Spirit Project represents the type of community development program necessary to create social change.”
