Important Issues

Eating Difficulties

Recognising that food, weight, and body image issues are significant sources of distress for women, North Shore Women's Centre provides women with appropriate information, courses, referral, and counselling options. We emphasise a socio-cultural interpretation of eating problems, maintaining that culturally dictated, unrealistic body shapes and sizes perpetuate eating difficulties. We view women with eating disorders as vibrant, creative, and dynamic individuals that consist of more than an eating problem. Click here for more information.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence involves more than punching, pushing, shoving, or kicking. Violence and abuse may be psychological, physical, sexual, and emotional. There may be no visible wounds, but the systematic use of mind games, threats, put-downs, and emotional withholding can lead to battered emotions and spirits, and that is just as debilitating.
