Our Services

young man steps 250MensLink has created a safe space for men from diverse backgrounds to talk about the challenges in their lives without judgement. Men who attend the meetings speak candidly and received thoughts and support from not just facilitators but also other attendees. We believe MensLink is an invaluable service because there is a definite gap in a supply of dedicated Men’s support services to the demand in Bendigo.

mumsconnect01 250Join us for some relaxed social time with other Mums and children, in a friendly and supportive environment. A playgroup setup by dedicated volunteers, so mums can sit with a cuppa while the kids play in a safe and supervised environment with toys and craft available to play with. Tea/ coffee provided. This is a free event.

Individuals and families are offered the opportunity to honour their deceased children lost through miscarriage, abortion, termination or stillbirth, either recently or long ago - a beautiful acknowledgement of babies whose lives although only brief, have made an impact on so many.

clientservices01 250Many of the individuals and families we assist are experiencing difficulties and hardship. Many are feeling overwhelmed. We work with individuals and families facing the day-to-day challenges of life, mental health issues, personal, relationship and financial difficulties.

As well as assisting with emergency relief, we offer emotional support - sometimes we simply need someone to listen to us, without being judged or being told what to do.

In response to the high rate of unplanned teenage pregnancy in central & regional Victoria, The Gianna Centre offers a dynamic and informative series of secondary school workshops.

These relationship education programs for students in years 7, 8, 9 & 10 focus on the development of healthy strategies and decision-making skills for adolescents.

pregnancysupport01 250The decision you are about to make will be one of the most significant in your life. Whatever you decide, whether it be keeping your baby, abortion, or adoption, it will be a life changing experience. It is important that you take the time to think clearly and rationally about your next step, which can be difficult at this time. Most of our mums just want the whole issue to go away. Sometimes family and partners are not supportive.
