Aimed at increasing autonomy and healing of Wadawarrung community, we are proud to have played a part in the Dyerradyee Ngitj Healing Booklet that has been created as a result of 2023 grant funding from the Foundation.
The Our Sovereignty, Our Healing booklet has been produced to provide support to individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, or those navigating through grief and loss.
In preparation of the healing resource, research by the Institute of Health Transformation showed the need for First Nations communities to heal from the historical legacy of displacement, abuse and trauma experienced through generations.
Endorsed by the Wadawarrung Traditional Owners and Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative, the booklet was born out of the need for the self-determination of First Nations peoples to lead healing work through cultural identity within their own communities.
