Newcastle Workshops

Basic workshops

We have weekly open sessions at the STARTTS training room in Hamilton North at 5:30 to 8:00 pm on Wednesdays. Unlike a traditional Basic workshop where you can’t join the group after it starts, you can join this group any week. You do need to book a spot in the workshop before you start by ringing Graeme on 0493 403 154 or contacting us via the contact form below.

Once you have completed 10 sessions and all the core topics, you will receive your Basic AVP workshop certificate. You can read more about AVP as an open group here.

We also have weekly open sessions at10:30 am to 1:00 pm on Thursdays in partnership with Samaritans Recovery Point at Broadmeadow. While these workshops are mainly for people recently out of prison or who are in recovery from addiction, other people can join the group. Again you need to contact us before starting.
