I warmly welcome you to this updated website for trauma survivors and their loved ones. I trust that you will find deeply validating and empowering options and resources in this space.
Acknowledgment of Country
I pay my respects to all First Nation Elders, past, present and emerging. I acknowledge them as the traditional Custodians and Elders of these lands where sovereignty was not ever ceded. I recognise their connection to Country and their role in caring for and maintaining Country over many thousands of years.
I deeply acknowledge and honour the Thawa people of the Yuin nation in Eden, NSW, the peoples of Ngunnawal Country of Canberra and the Ngarigo peoples of the Monaro Tableland and their traditional wisdom where I mainly live, work and play. The Gweagal clan of the Dharawil tribe in Kurrabulla (or Cronulla) in the southern geographic area of Sydney are the traditional custodians of the land where I was born. I acknowledge and honour my indigenous ancestor, Mary Ann Waine who was the daughter of an indigenous woman from the Kamilaroi nation living in Namoi River country in the North Western Slopes of NSW.
