Building Better Men
Building Better Families
Building Better Communities
At LifeBlood we’re inspired to help all men make better decisions in life. We help break the behavioural chains on the pathway from juvenile delinquency to lifelong institutionalisation.
Our homes, courses and up-country programs target the whole man - body, soul and spirit - and help develop new life skills, new living skills and new job skills.
We engage in a 12-18 month community reintegration program that builds understanding, capability and deep connections with God and the land he gave us to look after.
Please join us. It's life changing.
Five Key Elements include:
Men's Group
Our men meet on Saturday mornings at Destiny Cafe in Atherton and explore all aspects of post prison life through a series of videos and guided discussions. It's a great time to develop personal insight and real connections with other men.
Please join us.

Community Projects
Our men take on community projects to develop team work, execution skills and purposeful ties back to the community.
We execute a range of indoor and outdoor renovation projects funded through donations, grants and sponsorships.
eg. Pinnacle Pocket Church refurbishment Jan-23

Community Reintegration
The LifeBlood Seven-Sevens multi-stage community reintegration program begins with short-term housing in the Atherton region while we sort out diet, addictions and relevant paperwork.
We then introduce you to your new team and head out to one of our premium camp sites and start you on a journey of graded challenges. We build deep character and valuable life skills.
"On country" time affords opportunity to learn valuable "ringer" skills and develop a working relationship with your own wild brumby.
It's life changing.
LifeBlood Education
LifeBlood Education is woven into every activity, every day. We take practical education seriously. Life skills, living skills and job skills. We're even developing refresher courses to keep growing after graduation.
We start you on the journey of personal growth and teach a range of skills to navigate all the demands that life throws at us.

Prison Prevention Project
Helping men transition out of prison is important. Arresting young men from entering the prison system is smarter and cheaper for everyone - individuals, families, communities and tax payers.
The Prison Prevention Project is currently in development and will be "staffed" by some of the graduates of the Community Reintegration Program (above).
Shared facilities, shared services and shared truth will see lives turned around before too much damage is done.
Warm Invitation
We invite you to explore our website and join in our programs.
You're most welcome to try our men's group on a Saturday morning.
And please feel free to volunteer some of your time to help us grow and deliver better services.
