Stolen Generations
Stolen Generations

The Stolen Generations are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed as children from their families and communities through race-based policies set up by both State and Federal Governments from 1910 to the 1970s.
Intergenerational trauma
Intergenerational trauma

If people don’t have the opportunity to heal from past trauma, they may unknowingly pass it on to others. Their children may experience difficulties with attachment, disconnection from their extended families and culture and high levels of stress from family and community members who are dealing with the impacts of trauma.

We work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healing leadership, survivors, youth, therapists and academics to harness knowledge and co-design projects that combine ancient Indigenous healing knowledge with Western trauma knowledge.

Community Healing
Community Healing

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, healing is a holistic process, which addresses mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs and involves connections to culture, family and land. Healing works best when solutions are culturally strong, developed and driven at the local level, and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Keeping Our Spirit Healthy and Strong project will involve facilitating cultural activities and practices, therapeutic healing activities and interactive information sessions which interface with and support the eight healing themes as outlined in ‘Our Men Our Healing – Designing for Change’. Yorgum will provide fortnightly healing days, delivered from two different locations in the metropolitan area and healing camps in the south west region to support members of the Stolen Generation raised in Wandering and Marribank (Carrolup) Missions. The project will allow participants to share their healing journey in a safe and confidential environment to help build mateship, ongoing support from peers and to build expertise and leadership to model behaviour for the next generations. The planned workshops and healing camps will provide information, knowledge, skills, tools and counselling support, will encourage healing, empowerment and strengthening of cultural identity.
