Engage2Change Men's Behaviour Change Program
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
Kempsey Families Men’s Behaviour Change program offers clients 4 individual counselling appointments to assess their hopes and goals for participating. These meetings are designed to work with men to self-assess if they are committed and ready to work towards non-violence and self-responsibility. The ongoing aim of these meetings is to prepare a man to move into our 12 week group program with up to 11 other men who have decided they are also ready to work towards change (non-violence).
The Men’s Behaviour Change program aims to explore the impacts of abuse and violence on our partners, children, ourselves and others. We explore ideas about men’s role within the world and relationship, and examine the ideas that help/hurt what we are trying to achieve. We look at responses to conflict and what we contribute to the problem and how we can take responsibility for safety and self. Communication, self-reflection and dealing with strong emotions are also important elements of the group work program.Engage2Change will now be delivered in Kempsey (starting February 28th), Coffs Harbour (starting February 27th) and Nambucca Valley (mid-year). Service and Self Referrals are welcome.Alongside this program is the Women and Children’s Advocate who will support current or ex-partners of the men participating in the Engage2Change program.Click here to download the Engage2Change flyer or contact Kempsey Families Inc. direct on 6563 1588. -

Tourism Event Funding
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
Organisers of regional events held between July and December 2019 can now apply for funding to drive more overnight visitors to rural and regional NSW.
The Member for Oxley, Melinda Pavey MP, said applications are now open for Round Two of both the 2019 Incubator Event Fund, and the 2019 Flagship Event Fund.
“These two funds are a good platform for growing events in our region and attracting more visitors to the Mid North Coast, thereby putting more tourist dollars into the local economy, Mrs Pavey said.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said the two funds are part of the Regional Flagship Events Program, an important NSW Government strategy to support more grassroots events and energise local economies.
“Since 2011, the Program has provided more than $6.2 million to 180 events throughout rural and regional NSW,” Mr Marshall said.“We know that when people visit regional NSW, they stay in local accommodation, buy from local shops and eat at local restaurants and cafes, helping to create more jobs and activity.
“As a country Minister, it’s really important to me that NSW Government support continues to reach every corner of the State’s tourism industry, and I encourage events to apply for this funding opportunity.”
The Flagship Event Fund offers an annual grant of $20,000 or a triennial grant of $27,500 to support marketing activities.
The Incubator Event Fund offers grants of up to $20,000 to new events to assist with elements such as temporary infrastructure, marketing and promotions, venue hire or attendee research.
Applications to Round Two of both funds close on Sunday, 13 January.
