Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are taking steps to move forward beyond some of the race-based policies of the past.


The Healing Foundation has been working with communities in the Torres Strait to empower them to overcome historical traumas.

The Foundation favours a collective approach to healing, which they believe is more successful than individually-focused therapies favoured by western cultures.

After consulting with communities, the Foundation assists groups in finding areas of healing to focus on such as child safety, spiritual healing, leadership and governance.
