25.01.2022 We all have a role we can play in keeping the children of the world safe. ITEC Group is dedicated to ensuring children and youth who have entered the statutory child protection service are placed within safe, culturally appropriate, foster and kinship programs. ITEC Youth work in conjunction with Safe House programs to provide highly experienced intervention specialists that take into account the needs of the young person and their family. We also understand the importance of ensuring our young people feel safe and supported while transitioning to independent living arrangements and endeavour to provide age, gender and culturally appropriate services throughout Australia. #ITECYouth #speakup #nochildunheard

12.01.2022 Its fantastic to see this up and going! Our partners Gr8Motive Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Corporation will introduce a program which looks at a "holistic model" aimed to restore culture in Indigenous youth. Mr Anderson said the goal was to reduce the numbers of young people entering the correctional system, by showing the "positives" they had to offer back to the community. "What were trying to do is get them back to their self-identity and obviously a cultural spe...cialist is part of the component of On Country delivery," said Mr Anderson, Board Director. "This program is designed to put them into a positive light, and I suppose, creating opportunities around making better choices around those more positive circles. Using respect and using that on country, strong cultural component from there and bringing it back into the community." #OnCountry #youth #Indigenousyouth #culturalprogram #community #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #Inthistogether

03.01.2022 Given that Remembrance Day falls within NAIDOC Week this year it is also good for us to remember the countless Indigenous veterans who haven't always been acknowledged. Indigenous Australians have served in every conflict and peace keeping operation since Federation. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have also been involved in work from home to support the war effort, for example some communities in Northern Australia did construction, farming and butchery for the... army in WWII. In addition there were Indigenous units such as Torres Strait Light Infantry, Northern Territory Reconnaissance Unit and NORFORCE, which continues to operate today with at least 60% Aboriginal membership. Some stories of Aboriginal veterans in the link below... #indigenousveterans #rememberanceday #NAIDOCWeek2020 #alwayswasalwayswillbe #wewillrememberthem See more
