First Nations Healing is an organisation committed to working with people through their healing journey. We work alongside individuals and families in supporting them to strengthen their social and emotional wellbeing so that they can be safe, strong, healthy and self-sustainable.
First Nations Healing acknowledges Nunga Mi:Minar as the foundation and building block of what First Nations is today.
Nunga Mi:Minar Incorporated – Northern Regional Aboriginal Domestic Violence and Family Violence Service, was a not-for-profit Aboriginal Community Control Organisation. With 50 years of delivering culturally responsive, specialist service to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and families impacted by Domestic and Family Violence.
First Nations Healing will continue to build on the strong foundations left by our founders. First Nations Healing will continue to provide innovative and responsive programs focused on excellence to nurture individual and collective capacity building.
Lived experience, community engagement, voice of our families and cultural responsiveness are essential to our success, growth and expansion of service. It is their promotion that contributes significantly to the credibility of the service.
It has been vital to listen to the voices of our community, ensuring that these are captured and reflected authentically within the organisation. First Nations Healing acknowledges and honours Nunga Mi:Minar Inc. and attributes all of its success to the strong roots that were laid.
There is no First Nations Healing, without Nunga Mi:Minar Inc.
