Kinship Connections
Kinship Connections walks alongside Aboriginal children, young people and their families to address issues that negatively impact their social and emotional wellbeing. Kinship Connections supports them to identify and engage with culture, family, community and Country to facilitate healing and achieve a strong sense of identity and belonging.
Kinship Connections delivers a suite of interconnected programs based on our commitment to the following principles:
That belonging to community is a key factor underlying healing.
That a thriving community can provide opportunities for a recovering person to gain a sense of personal power.
That individuals can be supported to use their skills and generosity to create Aboriginal culturally safe homes and communities to which the next generation can safely belong.
