12. Waminda knows that health for Aboriginal andTorres Strait Islander women
is linked to the restoration of Aboriginality, dignity, respect, roles,
responsibilities, self determination, participation, Lore and culture in order
to undo the impacts of colonisation.
Here atWaminda we walk alongside women on their healing journeys, we
are inspired by their courage and determination, we don’t close a case
because someone has reached a milestone they are seeking, we know that
healing takes time, and that the social and economic injustices that rob
women and their families of their identity and control are slow to break
down.
Ours is a ‘whole of life’ view… and our experience tells us, it works.
