The Healing Foundation Strategic Plan 2018 – 2023 offers a robust plan to tackle the Intergenerational Trauma that’s devastating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and create greater healing opportunities for Stolen Generations members in the last years of their lives. It builds on The Healing Foundation’s significant achievements to date, as a national leader in best practice Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healing.

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.

Knowledge Creation
Knowledge Creation
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.
