Connecting and Empowering Women - Support Groups

Our weekly support groups offer migrant and refugee women opportunities to connect with their community, share stories, develop communication skills, and build social connections. These groups provide a platform for enriching relationships, improving English proficiency, and enhancing overall wellbeing.

Social isolation can impact the wellbeing of multicultural women, especially those from refugee backgrounds. The Women's Support Groups bring together women from CaLD backgrounds to socialise, learn new skills, celebrate diversity, and form meaningful friendships across cultures.
