Positive Lifestyle Program

By referral only.

The Positive Lifestyle Program (PLP) helps people build a more positive outlook on life, which often flows into healthier relationships — at home, in their networks and across the wider community.

Referrals usually come through magistrates, legal staff, prison chaplains, or welfare practitioners, but self-referral is also welcome. The program takes around 8 weeks to complete.

Please reach out to learn more.
