The Break has offered me lots of insights into the mental health field and social work associated with it. I gained lots of fantastic experience and all the staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful. Great facility thanks for giving me this opportunity to work with this amazing organisation.

I have a good experience in this place, welcoming environment: The organization is known for being trustworthy, useful, and ethical. The break provides a range of help to support well-being, and also, aims to build a strong and resilient community. I enjoy being part of the activities.

I am most impressed with The Break, and have found Greg and his team to be 100 % professional, caring and accommodating to my needs. I felt totally comfortable in a safe, caring and supported environment, where sensitivity and empathy is shown at all times towards all. Highly recommend The Break.

The Break is a not-for-profit charity organisation run by volunteers, who are amazing people, and so passionate about helping others. The Break offers many different services and programs to assist people from all walks of life - those struggling financially, those struggling with mental health. The Break run kayaking programs, anger management, women circle, counselling session, case management, mens group and so on. Great facility to have our placement! Benefited heaps of work experience of mental health which provided students with great opportunities for personal and professional growth.

I had the pleasure of attending several programs offered by this amazing not-for-profit organization, and I have to say, they truly go above and beyond in their efforts to serve the community. From their free kayaking sessions to their art and craft classes, there is something for everyone to enjoy and benefit from.One program that stood out to me in particular was their presentation on anger management. The facilitator was knowledgeable, compassionate, and provided practical tips and tools for managing anger in a healthy way. It was clear that they truly care about the well-being of their participants and are dedicated to helping them lead happier and healthier lives.Overall, I cannot recommend this organization enough. Their commitment to serving the community is truly inspiring, and I look forward to attending more of their programs in the future. Thank you for all that you do!"

The Break organisation is a five star organisation for me as they offers free counselling. The counselling session was just so awesome and it does helped my self confidence back and mental health matters. Plus the offer a Womens Circle Counselling which would definitely helps you express yourself as a woman. Plus people who worked at the Break are so kind and approachable. Highly recommend them.

This is the place to be, if you need help with mental health, counselling, recovering from AOD or family violence. The staff are incredibly supportive and will help you to thrive. I was given the opportunity to do my placement there, and as a student, I felt supported and gained experience. The program they run such as topic groups, or women's circle are very interesting, and have been beneficial in my personal life. Big Thank you.

For me, the break has been that place in which I have been trained, learnt but also, on a personal level, a place that I can count on, in terms of my mental health. Outdoor activities, free counselling, a sense of community, support/peer activities make this organisation an important part of our city. Within an important aim and that should be recognized and supported for our communities. Shout out The Break!
