Yoowinna Wurnalung Healing Service provides programs and services that support Aboriginal women, children, young people, men and same-sex couples affected by family violence. It includes advocacy, counselling, referrals, education and information, and social recreational and cultural activities.
One of Yoowinna Wurnalung Healing Service’s programs, the Strong Men Strong Communities Project, aims to work with Aboriginal men to prevent, reduce and respond to all forms of family and community violence. The program is designed to assist Aboriginal men to identify their emotions and personal strengths and in doing so, discover their own leadership potential and develop a vision for a safer life, safer family and ultimately safer community.
If you are experiencing family violence, there are services that can provide support and advice. They will listen to you and help you to explore your options and think about what you want to do next.
For support across Australia, contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) or visit 1800respect.org.au.
We provide information, training, capability building and advocacy for organisations and professionals working to end family violence.
