Introducing - Reclink Australia Northern Territory’s Holistic Healthy Healing Habits program. Reclink Australia (NT) was awarded the following grant from the Northern Territory Government. We have used the guidelines in this grant, community consultation, plus recommendations from our Feasibility Study Final Report: Exploring Pathways to Positive Outcomes: Community-driven Sports & Recreational Activities in Alice Springs, to develop the program content. Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Youth Grants Program 2024/25 This grant program aims to minimise harm associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, including volatile substances, through a range of prevention, education and community action initiatives. • Commencing – Thursday 24 April • Target age – 15 – 25 years (please encourage participants who are close in age to this range to be involved) • Proposed time – 2 hours per week for 8 weeks. Week 8 will involve a day trip to Ellery Creek Big Hole. After months of pre-consultation with our Community, Senior Sports Coordinator Leon Tripp has mapped out the first of our eight-week programs. Please share the following information with those that may benefit from or be interested in this fun-filled, interactive & educational program. To give you a snapshot of the first four weeks, our sessions will include. Week 1 Holistic Healthy Healing Habits Program Launch at Alice Springs Correctional Centre. Participants will engage in a game of AFL Football, Prisoner’s V’s Reclink Member Agencies. We already have 110 participants and personnel to kick off this exciting program, followed by a Healthy BBQ and Lived Experience Speaker. Week 2 Stretch & Relaxation at the Telegraph Station, followed by Reclink Sports & Activities and a healthy lunch by GAP’s Kitchen. Week 3 Interactive Mental Health & Nutrition Education sessions at Alice Springs Youth & Community Centre. This program will include making your own healthy pizza cooked in a special woodfire oven and healthy smoothies, supported by NT Health Dietitians and Mental Health Association of Central Australia. Week 4 Lived Experience Speaker Shane from Asbuild NT. This session will include Shane sharing his personal experience with AOD and the positive journey to employment with Asbuild NT, followed by an open mic and guitar jam sing-along session and lunch from NT Bakery.
