Speaker - Penny Newson from Happiness Habits
Happiness Habits train mentors to support vulnerable women to stay on track by building friendships, social groups and connections with family and community.
Founded in 2019, Happiness Habits Inc. has been serving local women who have experienced adverse life events and need support to create their best life.
Happiness Habits Inc. grew from the passion of its founders, Sally Hudson and Penny Newson, for empowering women to create a better life for themselves and their families through the application of the three Es of Education, Engagement and Employment. This week we were lucky to have Penny come and visit our club.
Happiness Habits offer free mentoring services for women who have experienced adverse life experiences. In addition, the service offers:
- free empowerment training through community organisations
- mental health courses
- free mentor training for all our volunteers
- peer lead support through a private facebook group
Mentors have extensive professional and educational training. Happiness Habits mentors are dedicated to maximising the time spent with clients. Mentors are dedicated, committed and focused. They work to ensure that every person can reach their personal best and overcome challenge’s through the culture and ethos provided through the mentoring process.
Happiness Habits has an extensive referral network so that clients can be referred to services for intensive counselling/treatment where necessary. Penny shared some powerful stories of women turning their lives around through the support provided thought the Happiness Habits program.
We thank Happiness Habits for their tremendous work and look forward to staying in touch and building our relationship with this organisation.
