Starick is very grateful to Perth Poetry Club for supporting us through their annual Women Scream event. This year over $900 was raised for Starick, and these valuable funds will be used for programs to support women and children who have escaped domestic and family violence. These programs focus on building resilience and well being for women and children and include baby and toddler massage, children’s yoga, restorative yoga and a Lived Experience therapeutic writing program for women. Many women and children impacted by family and domestic violence say that they feel like their voices are not heard, or have been taken away. The Women Scream event challenges that silencing, and we are therefore very proud to be associated with this event.
