Yorgum Healing Services

Yorgum was established in 1991 by a group of Aboriginal women, some of whom worked in women’s refuges, who were concerned about the lack of appropriate counselling support for Aboriginal people experiencing spiritual, emotional and psychological pain. They founded a service with a ‘healing’ approach rather than an ongoing, crisis-driven ‘patch-up’ approach.

Yorgum offers all Aboriginal people and their families autonomous, community-based healing, counselling, support and referral services that are culturally secure, trauma-informed and works within an Aboriginal Family Worldview.

All of our services are designed and delivered around the following six principles:

•Client Centred •Trauma informed
•Healing Focused •Collaborative
•Culturally Strong •Outcomes Focused
