RAV has secured $25,000 in funding from the Eastern Indigenous Family Violence Regional Action Group for a Spirit Journey program for Aboriginal women to be run in 2014.
Spirit Journey aims to assist the women on a journey of self- discovery. It will offer the women shared responsibility and support for each other and provide information about respectful relationships and family violence.
The six-week program also aims to encourage and develop help-seeking behaviour among participants that focuses on community change, as well as strengthen links to local service agencies, both Aboriginal and mainstream. It will culminate in a healing camp.
Jo Fox, Liaison Officer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Services, says Spirit Journey has an inherent cultural focus … the passing on of story, of tradition, of culture and of identity to the participants.
RAV is partnering with Mullum Mullum, Boorndawan Willam Aboriginal Healing Service, Ngwala Willumbong and Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association.
