Who We Are
We Are Worthy Philosophy
To provide safe, fun, practical and holistic wellbeing tools for young people, schools, youth and community groups that improve lifelong mental and physical health for all.
We Are Worthy was founded by experienced secondary school and yoga teacher, Sheena Worthy in 2021 in response to the increasing wellbeing needs of young people in the community. The team offers workshops, immersions and a term-based program that aim to increase the overall health and wellbeing of young people aged 12-20 by providing life-changing wellbeing tools for youth to use in their everyday lives.
The We Are Worthy Wellness program offers sessions that are safe, fun, inclusive and practical, allowing the participants to become aware of their thoughts and habits and to gain strategies to cope with life’s ups and downs. We show how evidence-based mindfulness, breathing techniques and wellness philosophy can be applied to modern-day settings and used by young people to benefit their mental and physical health.
About Our Offerings
Each We Are Worthy offering combines gentle movement, activity and discussion in order to engage young people. The workshops build life skills, confidence, sense of purpose and community-mindedness.
The offerings are unique, as they are delivered by a secondary school teacher with proven strategies working with young people. They are linked to the Victorian and Australian Curriculum and align with many government and private wellbeing initiatives.
We Are Worthy prides itself on being fully inclusive, allowing participants of all abilities to engage in our program. We welcome all young people from varied settings, including schools and youth groups, to experience the benefits of our offerings.
