Our wonderful men's program facilitator Joe will be hosting a free creative storytelling and reflection workshop for men.

This month, we delivered Building financial confidence after trauma, a free online session bringing together lived experience, practical financial knowledge and community in partnership with Beyond Bank.

Left Write Hook is coming back to Ballarat with more survivor support. This includes our first dedicated youth program as well as another women and gender-diverse program.

We’re coming to Frankston this October with our first full-scale recovery program for men, run by men.

The program will run for 8 weeks on Saturdays from 10 October to 28 November. Register your interest.

If you’re struggling with the impacts of trauma and need to speak with someone who understands, we recommend reaching out to the Sexual Assault Crisis Line (SACL), this is a service that a many of us from the Left Write Hook team trust and use.

Two years ago, the Left Write Hook documentary premiered globally, bringing survivor voices to audiences across Australia and beyond. What began as 8 survivors getting together in a gym to write about their experiences, share and practice boxing, turned into a documentary and has now grown to become something much bigger!

Event postponed: Left Write Hook documentary screening and fundraiser event, presented by The Untangle Project, has been postponed. Stay tuned for further details of when it is rescheduled.

Donna has been invited to speak at the Global Impact Summit on why belonging is not simply something that helps us feel connected, but something that is fundamental to our health and wellbeing.

We’re delivering a free online session to help build financial confidence after trauma, with practical guidance on budgeting, banking, debt and financial safety.

Join us in Adelaide on the 16 August, as we team up with The Untangle Project for an inspiring afternoon of storytelling, healing and connection to raise vital funds to support women's safety.

This month marks an exciting milestone for Left Write Hook as we officially complete our Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) in partnership with the University of Melbourne.

Last week we had the screening of the award-winning Left Write Hook documentary in Frankston to raise community awareness and share in preparation for our upcoming Frankston men's program. We had an amazing turnout and a great response!

Last month Documentary Australia announced that the Left Write Hook documentary is now available on DocAccess for screening in communities and organisations. 

On Tuesday, 21 July, our founder and CEO, Dr. Donna Lyon, will join Sarah Rosenberg, co-founder of With You We Can, for a powerful conversation about the realities survivors of sexual abuse face in recovery and the courtroom and what real change can look like.

Have your say: The Australian Government is seeking community feedback to help shape the next national action plan to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse. Complete the survey before 17 July.
