POWER TALKS PROGRAM

We’re proud to celebrate the success of the Young Warrior ‘Power Talks’ Program, an exciting initiative in collaboration with Kérastase that has been empowering young women across Australia. This program is designed to equip women aged 17-25+ with essential life skills, education, and mental health support, fostering independence and well-being through a strong network of female Mentors.

 

Since the partnership launch, we hosted the first of the Power Talk – Girls Day Out High Tea. This event brought young women together for an afternoon of inspiration and empowerment, featuring esteemed guest speakers such as Brooke Blurton and Erica Cramer, who shared their personal journeys and motivated attendees to embrace their inner strength and achieve their dreams.

 

As we continue this exciting journey, we remain committed to empowering the next generation of young women to become confident, resilient leaders in their communities. Keep an eye out for updates on future Power Talks events and initiatives as we work to create a meaningful and lasting impact on young women’s lives across Australia.

GUEST SPEAKERS

BROOKE BLURTON

A strong resilient Noongar-Yamatji woman, Brooke’s own childhood was marred by tragedy. Losing her mother to suicide, and drug and alcohol abuse occurring in her family. Brooke grew up determined to help young people who might be dealing with similar issues. As a youth worker, Brooke has developed her passion for working with the community and implementing strategies to educate young people about essential life skills, reflecting on her own journey through life.

ERIKA CRAMER

From a challenging past marked by trauma, abuse, and foster care, to joining the U.S. Army as a teenager and facing life-altering adversities like breaking her back and early widowhood, Erika has journeyed through monumental struggles. Today, she is renowned as The Queen of Confidence, a global leader in the world of confidence coaching, empowering women worldwide to reclaim their lives.

Erika’s life is a testament to the unyielding power of resilience and healing, proving that overcoming obstacles only serves to make us stronger.

We provide a safe and welcoming space for young women to share, learn, heal and grow. Each young woman is connected with a mentor as well as a network of diverse community-minded women who provide ongoing support and share their life experiences, resources and opportunities:

  • Connection to a safe, stable, and socially inclusive network of female role models to turn to for advice and ongoing support for the duration of the six-month program.
  • Connection to a non-judgmental group of young women who are facing similar challenges.
  • Connection to Kindred Warrior Peers, young women who have experienced challenges in life and have gone on to achieve life success.
  • Weekly one-to-one mentoring sessions with a safe mentor.

We teach young women the life skills they need to succeed in everyday life. Our “teach a young woman to fish” approach gives them support and guidance at every step, knowing that true empowerment comes from them learning to do things for themselves. In particular, we focus on financial literacy and job readiness:

  • Life-skills workshops to build self-reliance.
  • A six-week Financial Literacy program (in partnership with MoneyGirl).
  • A four-week Job Readiness program.
  • Assistance in gaining and retaining meaningful employment.
  • Access to a range of vocational skills scholarships (e.g., Code Like a Girl) and internships.

Many young women experience trauma which negatively impacts their confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. We support and nurture the trauma healing process in safe psycho-educational workshops facilitated by experts. In these sessions, young women learn to engage with self-compassion, and to soften and contain threat-based emotions, such as fear and anxiety, anger, shame and self-criticism.
