Help For The Community
Naala Djookan aims to not only provide support to women and children in the community that are experiencing domestic and family violence but also inform the community and raise awareness about family and domestic violence and where they can go for assistance if they have concerns
This is done through:
- Community presentations with community leaders, community groups and service providers about Naala Djookan Healing Centre
- Community education programs and workshops
- Participating in and hosting community events
In addition to providing support to the community, we want to ensure that the services we provide are both evidence-based and informed by community needs and experiences.
To do this, we seek feedback from the community through the Naala Djookan Reference Groups. These are made up of community members that inform the services and support Naala Djookan Healing Centre provides. To find out more about the reference groups see below.
