COUNSELLING CARE
The Isniin Wellbeing Program
Isniin Wellbeing Program is a free service that is delivered by qualified and experienced counsellors. The sessions are informal, easily accessible and culturally appropriate for African people. The aim is to work through issues, empower them and equip them with an attitude to making towards better life choices.
Who is the program for?
The program is tailored for African people who recognise that they are struggling with low intensity mental health issues, including those who are:
- Experiencing life challenges and barriers including isolation, anger, depression, domestic violence, or low self-worth
- Lacking engagement from meaningful purpose;
- Using substances such as drugs and alcohol that causes risky behaviours
- Experiencing grief, bereavement or a sense of loss
- Experiencing loss of motivation, distress tolerance, managing worries or understanding emotions.

The Isniin Family Violence Prevention Program’s primary concern is upholding the safety of women and children. A specialised family violence women’s worker from the Melboure or Perth will contact the partners and ex-partners of men who attend MBCP (a condition of joining the program) to provide women with safety advice, support and information. We do not make judgments about women’s relationships or choice.
How are the sessions structured?
People wanting assistance through the Wellbeing Program will have the option of participating in either (or both), Group or One-on-One sessions.
Where is the program available?
The Insiin Wellbeing Counselling is available in both Melbourne and Perth for face to face and group sessions as well as through Skype. Remote community participants can also be catered to via internet-based communication for individual sessions. Enquiries can also be made about the individual counselling service available for home visits.
