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.

Relationships Australia SA, with support from the Healing Foundation, Nunkuwarrin Yunti SA and Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement (ALRM), hosted a Stolen Generations healing camp. Stolen Generations members could relax, enjoy cultural activities, go for walks and yarn with others around the fire. There were presentations about the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and the reparation scheme.

The camp was a defining weekend for many in terms of their identity and acceptance of being part of the Stolen Generations.

Many organisations came together to support the camp including Circle of Hope and South Australian Stolen Generations Aboriginal Corporation Inc. (SASGAC).
