Our Healing Connections approach
First Nations children who grow up strong in culture develop confidence, pride, and a sense of security and belonging to guide and protect them through adolescence and to adulthood.
Together with the Australian Childhood Foundation, we developed the Doolann Model of Therapeutic Care. ‘Doolann’ is the name of Glenda’s mother and great-grandmother and means strong hands in Nyungah.
The Doolann Model honours the strong women who have cared for children in need. It highlights our collective intent of the many strong hands and relationships that hold close children, young people, carers and families across communities.
Acknowledgement of Country
Karla Kuliny Aboriginal Corporation acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians and owners of the lands and waters throughout country. We show and pay respects to our Elders, past and present, and to the children and young people who are our leaders of tomorrow. We recognise the enduring connection to lands and waters and the role as the original storytellers around the campfire that continues to create strong pathways for our children and the generations to come.
As we return to campfire, we honour the wisdom and knowledge that has been passed down through generations, and we are grateful for the inspired and rich cultural heritage of the oldest continuing culture in the world. We acknowledge the importance of preserving and celebrating traditions, and we are committed to a future of cultural respect and understanding.
May we continue to create a shared journey that respects the traditions and wisdom from our elders with the intergenerational transfer of knowledge that not only enriches the journey of our children we also strive to foster a strong sense of identity and belonging – creating strength from past to present and into the future.
