The First Peoples’ Healing Program offers a flexible and holistic approach to alcohol and other drug treatment for First Nations people and their family. It is a wraparound service with a cultural lens that acknowledges each person’s emotional wellbeing and their own personal journey.

The program, delivered by Windana in Frankston and Mornington Peninsula (areas of Bunurong/ Boonwurrung), supports people aged 16 to 55 who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

The program focuses on:

• Culture
• Aboriginal healing practices
• Trauma-informed treatment (with a focus on intergenerational trauma)
• Family-centred therapeutic practices
• Protective factors and support
• Social, and cultural determinants of health.
