       A New Look for Coastal Views

With a new year now upon us, I am proud to
unveil the new-look Coastal Views.

From a simplified front-page to a consistent
format for the pages within, we hope that this
new look is easier to read for you- our readers
whether it be online or a printed copy.

During the coming months we will start
distributing printed copies once again. If you
have a suggestion for where you would like
would like to collect a printed copy from in
future, please let me know.

If there is something you do like, or don't like,
please feel free to let me know. While I have
spent many months considering the new format
we are always looking for ways to improve.

I am looking forward to expanding the range of
content too in 2021. If you have ideas about what
you would like to see in each edition, please let
me know.

Stressed?
Have you been affected by
any form of domestic
violence in the past?

The University of South Australia and the Adelaide
Southern Regions Transcendental Meditation®
Centre are inviting women to participate in an
exciting new study to test the effectiveness of two
approaches to stress reduction.

The 16-week study, called Strengthening the Inner Woman, will compare the
effectiveness of group support (group discussions facilitated by a qualified social
worker) and the Transcendental Meditation® technique (a simple relaxation
technique taught by qualified instructors), as ways to improve stress levels, mood
and quality of life in women.

Sessions will be held at Hackham West, South Australia. Participants will
receive a small honorarium for their time.

Starting date: February 10th, 2021
 Participants will be required to attend every group session and complete a
 questionnaire at the beginning, middle and end of the study.

For more information, visit the 'Strengthening the Inner Woman'
Facebook group.
