Growth
Executive Summary:
Currently we are building our CloudHouse Therapies SharkCage® program towards being the vital and effective resource we aim to provide through a Community Partnership Model.
​
Ultimately the aim of the Cloud House Therapies SharkCage® Empowerment & Recovery Program is to provide a comprehensive 52-week/year, trauma-informed, multi-layered response to violence against women. The full, integrated 'dream' program is costed at $196,000 per annum.
This community-model initiative would provide four 8-week intensive therapeutic group programs per year, monthly Level 2 continuation groups, one-on-one therapeutic support, and community mentorship.
​
Grounded in the SharkCage® framework, the program empowers women to rebuild their self-worth, assert their rights, and foster long-term healing in a safe, nurturing environment.
The program is structured to support 24 women annually through the Core Program, while concurrently building a growing community, expanding with ongoing support and mentoring options.
​
Our program is driven by qualified professionals, trained mentors, and the holistic care model of Cloud House Therapies.
​
Our Priority: Our next Cloud House Therapies SharkCage® womens group is planned to commence 20th May 2025.
It will again run for 8 weeks on Tuesday afternoons. We are determined to maintain an accessible and equitable service which is equally available to all women, no matter what their circumstances.
We are also offering an online evening alternative option.
Therefore we are seeking Sponsorships.
*Please note, all donations, however large or small, are very gratefully received and appreciated. The following list of Sponsorship options is a guide. All Sponsors will be publicly acknowledged and thanked ( unless they indicate a wish to remain anonymous).
Donations of any amount can be gifted any time, through our GoFundMe page. https://gofund.me/ddaa34c5

SPONSOR OPPORTUNITIES
A Full Sponsorship for one women to complete the program is $2500.
This covers all costs involved and provides her with daily email, online and text supports, weekly therapeutic one on one sessions, online group activities as well as art supplies, journal and text book.
A Core Needs Sponsorship of $400
Ensures a woman has a free place in the 8 week SharkCage® Program.
She attends group once a week and receives basic materials needed to complete the program.
We urgently and as a priority are seeking 6 x Core Needs Sponsorships
Therapeutic Sponsorships can be gifted with or without a Core Needs Sponsorship. These are open-ended in multiples of $150.
​
A Therapuetic session for a woman completing SharkCage® with Cloud House Therapies is $150 per session. Donations of a single session, or multiples are welcome.
The program runs for 8 weeks and ideally a woman would engage in an individual therapy/counselling session once a week during the program ( Cloud House Therapies SharkCage® facilitators advise all participants at intake and at start of the program that they are advised to work with a counsellor during the course, this does not have to be a Cloud House Therapist and women are encouraged to continue with a current trusted professional if this is applicable. However additional intensive sessions weekly with a Cloud House Therapist during the 8 week program is the ideal approach.
Therefore, as an example, the cost of a complete 8 week therapeutic sponsorship is $1200.
For Sponsors wishing to provide higher levels of support- The cover all 6 women for the full 8 weeks would be $7200.
Mentoring Sponsorships
Cloud-House Therapies is determined to support and empower our participants to train as SharkCage® Mentors.
These volunteers would complete the 2 day online SharkCage training and will train with Cloud House Facilitators to support, mentor and learn to lead the group. Mentors will train to take lead roles in Level 2 monthly group sessions and assist with online private groups and activities for our participants.
​
Basic Mentor Sponsorship covers the online 2 day SharkCage® training ($700) and SharkCage® Manual ($200)
Intensive Mentoring Sponsorship is a 6 month commitment which covers the training and manual, as well as weekly supervision sessions and unlimited email support and guidance. ($8400)
Facilitator Training Sponsorship.
Our Co-Facilitator will be completing a SharkCage® training program in August which is $700. We urgently need assistance with this cost.
Both Facilitators will then be completing the Young Womens SharkCage® training which is a longer more comprehensive training to enable us to deliver SharkCage® to teenage women. (Cosy $1369 x 2 = Total $2738 (We have more time available to raise this money but it is a priority for us to achieve this level of accreditation).
