Overview

The Deadly sista girls program offers a stable environment for girls to discuss current and personal issues they may be facing and allows them to trust and receive guidance from Indigenous female role models. Each girl has the opportunity to be personally mentored throughout the program with the aim to provide them with confidence in themselves and their abilities to achieve success in all their endeavours.

Topics covered within the program are:

• self esteem

• healthy relationships

• sexual and women's health

• drug and alcohol abuse

• healthy lifestyles

• future direction.

The Deadly sista girls program incorporates other related programs including Mooditj, Career development and leadership, Healthy lifestyles, FOODcents and My moola to assist with the aim to build strong independent women in the community.
