Centre for Hope - Newcastle, Australia

Deborah has worked closely with Geraldine Moran, the Founder of Centre for Hope since 2012. She has worked with the Board, Staff and Young People to unlock their full potential.

Centre For Hope is all about empowering disadvantaged young people to respect themselves, to connect to the wider community and to create an inspired life.

Centre For Hope works with youth aged 6 to 18 years who are suffering adversity through causes such as financial hardship, mental disorders, physical and learning disabilities, mental, physical and sexual abuse, substance abuse and suicidal tendencies and who, because of their circumstances, suffer a significant degree of helplessness.

They work with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students to assist them to find their place in their world.

Testimonials:

Before the 2 days I had uncertainty and lack of conviction in my decisions/judgements when conversing with others, particuarly in a professional setting. I learnt that the person with the most certainty wins any conversations and that I would often be submissive to others and not stand up for what I felt, or faltered in my decisiveness it gets me in trouble when I don't listen to and follow through on my intuition. I have been reminded that my intuitive feeling is generally pretty good and I am to trust myself, follow through, back myself and I'll create much more success not only in my dealings with others but in my career ventures as well. A renewed sense of being. Thank you!

Fear of my resistances would limit my participation. Embrace those resistances as changeable self limiting behaviors.

Jed

As an open group of discussion I've left today knowing what work I need to do on myself to make every day changes. Doing the workshop exercises helped to explain the format. Normally I'd be one to take the work book home and not complete the exercise but I'm actually looking forward to completing the task to see what my own traits can actually show me my strengths and weaknesses.

Melisa

I did not have any idea on which the program was about. While being here I was very impressed on what we were learning and by the end, I learnt more that I thought I did during it. I got to find my selfworth and find out what is important to me. I have learned a lot that I can use within my personal life and work life to help me organise my priorities and find positives.
