We believe it’s important to create spaces for women for social connection and skill development. We have regular social outings and events, in addition to workshops to develop a range of life-skills. A focus for our space is to build and connect with more community volunteers.
Case Management is a conversation between you and a qualified case worker aimed at supporting your wellbeing through setting goals, resolving issues and working together to achieve outcomes that are important to you.
Counsellors and Case Workers at HopeStreet Women’s Space use a person-centred approach with every person who comes to our service. This means we view you as the expert on yourself and your experiences; we support your choices and believe in your abilities. We recognise that in your life you may be responding to violence, oppression, and discrimination from other people and systems. As a service we aim to acknowledge these injustices and to support you in responding in ways that are meaningful and safe.
Counselling is a conversation between you and a qualified counsellor aimed at supporting your wellbeing, appreciating your self-understanding, and exploring solutions that reflect your values and goals. A counsellor will ask you questions, and listen to your answers and opinions in an empathetic and non-judgemental way.
We work with women who have had a range of experiences in the sex industry based on our understanding of some of the complexities that women may face. We offer free safe sex kits, outreach to brothels, sexual health support, counselling, case work, sex worker support, advocacy and exit pathways for women that want to leave the sex industry. We also have staff that speak Mandarin, Cantonese and Thai.
Our chaplains and volunteers come alongside of people, offering support and a listening ear as they go through life’s challenges and experiences.
It doesn't matter what your background or beliefs are, the spiritual and emotional support we offer is for everyone.
Our chaplains and volunteers are a compassionate presence at HopeStreet, and are there to get to know people, their stories, hopes and dreams. We help you engage in what gives you purpose and meaning in life.
