Overview

The Strong men, strong families project, designed for Aboriginal men, encourages men to take responsibility for their behaviour and learn from past negative actions. It explores ways to strengthen Aboriginal men's role in their family and community. The underlying principle is to allow Aboriginal men to come together in a safe and culturally strong place to discuss how to become a good father, loving partner and positive role model within their community.

The Strong men, strong families project has developed tailored information sessions and interactive workshops dealing with subjects including:

• anger management
• alcohol and other drug awareness
• 'how to be a dad'
• positive parenting
• yarning circles
• accessing support when gaining employment, education or vocational training.

The program will also provide therapeutic counselling, support and advocacy.
