I really enjoy attending Healing Hands Women’s Group—it’s a chance to meet new people and build a stronger connection to my ancestry.

Healing Hands Participant

Healing Hands Women’s Group is a safe, welcoming space where every woman is supported and celebrated. Women come together to yarn, share a cuppa, and take time to relax and heal. Over the years, Healing Hands has warmly welcomed women from across the Moreton Bay region. Women of all ages can give and receive advice and form lasting connections.

Healing Hands has recently relocated from the Caboolture Satellite Hospital to the Moreton ATSICHS Clinic in Morayfield. The new space is bigger, more accessible, and comes with wonderful new amenities that open the door to even more ways to connect and explore. One of the most exciting additions is a fully functioning kitchen. Women can gather to cook, swap Good Quick Tukka recipes, and share a meal.

It’s a pleasure to facilitate the group. It is a really special space for women to come together. To share, learn, grow and empower each other.

The group is organised by the Moreton ATSICHS Family Wellbeing Service—a passionate team dedicated to helping families stay strong and deadly.

From painting and weaving to decorations and cooking, the team coordinates activities that reflect the interests of attendees. If the group wants to dig deeper into a topic, the team can arrange guest speakers to come and share their knowledge.

A person from the Healing Hands Women's Group sits cross-legged on a mat outdoors, weaving a small round basket with natural and pink fibers. Their hands hold the basket and weaving materials, and they wear white socks and sneakers on the grass.

Thanks for having me for the Healing Hands Women’s Group! I enjoyed myself and looking forward to the next one.

Community Service Staff Member

Local community services also attend Healing Hands. Providers can share information, answer questions, and build connections with attendees in a safe, casual environment. Attendees can learn more about available programs and supports, and how they can access them if needed.

Participants can easily link in with other services available at Moreton ATSICHS, including health care, social and emotional wellbeing support, family services, or help navigating community programs. Healing Hands is proud to be a space where families and community members can access the wrap-around support that keeps our Mob stay strong, connected and thriving.
