About Mentoring



Action Break Theatre Inc. was founded by three Justice Action community mentors with theatrical backgrounds who decided to use theatre as a mentoring tool as well as a creative healing tool.

We empower women caught up in the justice system with skills and confidence to allow them to craft their real live stories for stage, radio, books, television and film.

A mentor is anyone that is a good role model i.e. good friend, advisor, parent/s, teacher, coach, sybling, relative etc.

We encourage women who have been caught up in the justice system to train to become Community Mentors and help those that are still caught up in the justice system to get over it, especially our Youth. Having been there and done that, qualifies us to actually be excellent nurturing mentors for the ones that are still stuck in the system.

So we like to do our part by helping to break the cycle of poverty by empowering women with skills and confidence that will help them to move on, and become a powerful voice in the community. As we all know, without a voice your opinion will not be heard.

We aim to reduce recidivism, by helping women that have been caught up in the justice system to channel their energies in a constructive and productive way, by becoming good community mentors.
