Family Wellbeing Empowerment commenced in Adelaide in the 1990s, out of a concern for the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
Since then, this program has moved across many Indigenous Communities and in early 2000s came to Yarrabah and was embraced by the local community and Gurriny Yealamucka Health Services Aboriginal Corporation.
In the past 20 years, Family Wellbeing Empowerment Program has been embraced by many communities and organisations throughout Australia and is delivering tangible and lasting benefits for individuals, families and communities.
