Run by the Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council South Australia in collaboration with the Parks Community Health Service (CANHS), the Young Nungas yarning together program targets Aboriginal youth aged between 12 to 18 years, recognising that this time in young people's lives may be one of significant change, and one where they may become exposed to risk taking activities. The Young Nungas yarning together program focuses on building on the strengths of Aboriginal youth, listening to their voice, and developing links with the community to identify and develop strategies for the prevention and harm minimisation of alcohol and other drug use and cultural identity.
As part of the program, a model has been developed with Tafe SA which allows program participants to receive accreditation in modules in Cert 2/3 in Community services in alcohol and other drugs. As well as this, a number of diversionary, short-term project activities are offered, including self esteem programs, art and craft and team building activities. Several culturally appropriate learning resources have been produced as a part of the program.
