Sisterup Step Up!

Step Up is a health and wellbeing program designed to help young women with disability develop long term healthy lifestyle habits, while also connecting with each other and their community. The Sisterup Step Up program is aimed at young women who have recently left school and is relevant for young women up to age 35.
