24.01.2022 Thank you ACTCOSS - ACT Council of Social Service Inc. for this wonderful Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resource pack, that was part of their Reconciliation Week draw where Community organisations were asked to respond to the following; "It has been 20 years since people came together to walk on bridges and roads across Australia to show their support for a more reconciled Australia. Share how your workplace will walk together towards reconciliation." One of our wond...erful cultural support workers participated in this draw explaining how we as an organisation are working with our residents and staff to build and support growth and knowledge with in our therapeutic community; On Thursday, 28th May we will be screening IN MY BLOOD at our various locations with residents and staff all joining in to watch, shortly after we will hold a discussion on the up and running in Karralika by the end of this year with residents participating in a weekly group. Our aim is to have First Nations people in our programs feeling welcome and connected and most of all thriving to be leaders for their communities when they leave us. See more
