Tumbelin-“Awaken & Live”

Tumbelin is an Adventurous Journey Program
for young people who want to feel “Awake & Alive”.
 

 

 

 Are you a young person?

Where are you at?
– Be brave, be honest, be me
 
Where do you want to be?
– Dare to dream
– Imagine change
 

Camping can be a great setting for conversation and community. Tumbelin (a Ngarrindjeri word meaning “Awaken and Live”) – our Alcohol and Other Drug Adventure Therapy Program – helps young people discover new strengths, resilience and abilities within themselves. The capacity to establish and build positive healthy relationships, together with a new sense of hope and purpose, encourages participants to take charge of their future.

 

 
Through peer support and mentoring, our compassionate Adventure Therapy staff connect with individuals to support them to build strategies to move forward in their lives. The program focuses on relationships and changing behaviours through:

  • Group-Based Experiential Learning
  • Restorative Practice
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Person-Centred Approach
  • Reflective Practice

 

Tumbelin – now SACE accredited!

Do you know a young person struggling with alcohol abuse or drug addiction issues? We can help.
