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.
