Overview

The Aboriginal Catholic ministry, archdiocese of Sydney, has established an Aboriginal women's healing house in Picton, rural New South Wales. The house was established to accommodate Aboriginal women who have suffered trauma associated with the stolen generation, either having themselves been stolen or having had children or relatives stolen. The healing programs use traditional and current healing therapy. Other projects run by the centre include:

• reconciliation/retreat programs for non- Aboriginal people
• workshops for Aboriginal men
• the women's spiritual healing project - a 12-month program that consists of a series of workshops for victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and drug and alcohol abuse.
