The societal issues of gender based violence and the impact of social media are just two very pertinent issues that can devastate someone’s sense of worth, strength and purpose. Shine challenges core beliefs and provides skills to navigate and overcome challenges in these areas. Amongst other things, the program emphasises that to value others, we need to first value ourselves.
