Women 4 Women
The group is designed to support women in leading a more active and healthy lifestyle and builds on a recent course facilitated by the CCC Women’s Health Centre at PWHC called ‘Better Health Self Management ’(BHSM)*
It is designed to build resilience and to facilitate your journey to ‘complete health for you’. The focus is on healthy mind body and spirit.
All women with different long term health problems such as depression, asthma, arthritis, heart problems and anxiety to mention a few. It is good if you have already done the BHSM but you are very welcome if you have not.
The Better Health Self Management course is FREE and is:
For people with chronic health conditions
Run by trained health workers and community members across the Central Coast
The group is organised by the: Central Coast Community Women’s Health Centre and is facilitated by Nicole Turner. Nicole recently met with a group of women who wanted a follow up group after completing a BHSM course in late 2007. The women discussed what they wanted from the group and in the process named it ‘Women 4 Women’ wanting to convey that the group is empowering.
This is how the women have described the ‘Women 4 Women Group’
‘help empower women’
‘problem solving’ ‘good health’
‘friendship’ ‘safe and confidential’
‘fun and magic’ ‘getting others perspectives’
‘good feeling’ ‘how to be proud to be a woman’
‘makes me think’ ‘how to feel good about myself’ ‘motivation’
‘learn how to get healthy’ ‘to meet other women’
‘to have another interest than my children’ ‘want to relate and be with other women’
‘putting myself first’ .
