Indigenous

Australia’s First Peoples are resilient and resourceful.  We have survived through adversities; some in the past, but many of these adversities are ongoing.  There are still issues impacting on how we live today, and they range from issues such as the effects of the stolen generations, to other business, and the breadth of things in between.  Many times we are left feeling helpless and under supported in the face of these adversities.

Here on this site we have tried to gather together information and contacts to help you navigate through these hard times of loss, grief and trauma.  These resources are selected by us here at TGN; they must be valid, helpful, and evidence based to make the cut.  If you have to deal with an issue around trauma, for example, you can use our site as a first port of call.  It is also updated regularly to be relevant at times of specific crises and traumatic events.

This specific Indigenous Hub is helpful for First Nations Australians who need help or support, or information on how to help others.  It is also invaluable to those who work with Indigenous peoples.
