Core of Life Program
As part of our local planning for Families NSW we have identified a need to initiate a working party to coordinate the Core of Life Program in local High Schools. Core of Life is a program which addresses the emerging attitudes of adolescents towards the issues of pregnancy, birth and early parenting. There are a number of people who were trained last year to run the program. We would like to hear from people who would be willing to use their training and facilitate the program in Greater Taree, Great Lakes and Gloucester high schools.
We are holding a meeting on Friday 4th April at 10.30am in Education room 7 at Taree Community Health, to look at how we can get the program up and running. If you are interested in being involved please come along. If you cant make it on this day but are still interested in being involved please let me know.
Hope to see you there.

Training for Community Groups
Training Workshop on Planning for community groups
26 March, 10am-4pm
Nabiac Showground Hall, Nabiac St, Nabiac
This workshop will cover the essential areas of how to contribute to planning and management for regional not-for-profit organisations. Participants will look at where their organisation is now, where they want to be and how to get there. This course de-mystifies the process of business planning and turns it into a tool that can be used effectively by groups of all sizes. It unpicks the jargon and gives you the skills and language to be able to clearly set out your long term plans and share them with potential support networks like local government. By the end of the workshop you will have drafted key elements of a Business Plan.
Although the workshop content is geared towards cultural organisations, volunteers working in all community-based organisations in regional Australia are welcome to enrol. The more people who come to a workshop from an organisation, the greater the benefit will be, because you can work together on issues.
This workshops is funded by the Australian Government, through the Regional Arts Fund. The workshop is supported by Arts Mid North Coast and Great Lakes Council. The cost to the participant will only be $25 including training resources and all catering for the day (lunch, morning and afternoon teas)
To enrol online at: www.regionalartsnsw.com.au
Enquiries: Contact Chloe Beevers at Great Lakes Council on 65917312 or chloe.beevers@greatlakes.nsw.gov.au

Youth Sexual Health Workshop
Re: Invitation to attend a Lower Mid North Coast Youth Sexual Health Network group
You are invited to be part of an exciting new project in the Lower Mid North Coast area - the establishment of a Youth Sexual Health Network group
As you would be aware there is a current epidemic of chlamydia in NSW.
There has been a 54% increase in the number of notified infections (NSW) from 2000 to 2004, with 55% infection occurring in 15-24 year old men and women. Chlamydia often has no signs or symptoms but people who are infected can still pass on the infection. Undiagnosed and untreated chlamydia can result in serious long term complications. The good news is that chlamydia can be easily prevented through safe sex practices and treated with antibiotics. As part of an on-going need to develop primary and secondary chlamydia prevention strategies, we are forming a network group to share knowledge around local needs and responses to the current epidemic.
An invitation is extended to you or a representative of your organisation to join the network.
An initial meeting will be held at the Taree Community Health Centre Sexual Health Clinic (meeting room) on Tuesday 11 March from 11am to 1pm.
This is a great opportunity for you to shape how you think the network could operate. There will also be time to tour the sexual health clinic and hear from Greg Stewart (Clinical Nurse Consultant- Taree Sexual Health clinic) about the clinics operations.
If you are interested in attending the meeting or simply joining the network please RSVP to Ailsa Mackenzie (project officer) by either email ailsa.mackenzie@hnehealth.nsw.gov.au or phone (49246327) by 4 March 2008.
If you know of other youth or sexual health service providers working in the lower mid north coast area who might be interested please feel free to pass this on.
Looking forward to your reply.
