Create & Connect: Junkyard Jungle
‘Junkyard Jungle’ is all about getting creative with recycled materials, drawing, storytelling and sculpture. Join us for this creative workshop in Dandenong!
Satellite Connect Youth
Satellite Connect Youth is for young people ages 14- 17 and covers topic areas aligned with Satellite Connect but with a greater focus on the experience of sharing participant’s stories, being heard and facilitating peer connection and wellbeing.
The program may be offered online, or in person. It includes activities like photography, music, street art and meme-making, with space to strengthen personal development skills and nurture friendships.

Self-Care and Self-Compassion
