Deadly Diva Day Broome 🌸 Last week 60 young women and a number of service providers joined us at our annual Deadly Diva Day in Broome. The Deadly Diva Day is a core initiative of our Active Leaders Program. We aim to build a safe, non-judgmental and engaging environment where workshops focus on building skills, confidence, and health awareness, as well as being active and moving our bodies. Here’s a look at the day’s sessions: 🌟 North Regional TAFE Jobs and Skills team, focused on communication, teamwork, and leadership through interactive and challenging problem solving activities. 🌟Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services - KAMS (KAMS) and headspace Broome, teamed up and explored the topic of “What makes us strong?”. This question was posed to the participants and answers were creatively expressed into a large art piece throughout the day. 🌟 Country Football WA introduced the girls to AFL 9’s. We got our heart rates up despite the heat! 🌟KAMS Sexual Health team facilitated an open discussion aimed at normalising conversations around sexual health, with guidance on where to find support and why it’s okay to ask for help. 🌟KAMS also provided crucial education on Rheumatic Heart Disease, raising awareness of this health issue in our communities. Thank you to our partners, facilitators, and attendees. We’re proud to connect with like-minded service provides committed to providing support and education to young women in our communities. #strongactivehealthy #DeadlyDivaDay #ActiveLeadersProgram #EmpoweringYoungWomen #Garnduwa #BuildingStrongerCommunities #YouthLeadership #thinkmentalhealthwa #creatingahealthierWA Healthway headspace National Indigenous Australians Agency
