The Nyugumba Indigenous Men’s Program aims to reduce family violence within the Raymond Terrace, Port Stephens, Karuah and Newcastle areas.
We provide intensive case coordination therapeutic work advocacy work for Indigenous men who use violence as well as their partners and children
We work with partners and children to develop safety plans for when violence occurs.
This takes place over a period of at least six months, wherein we work with Indigenous men and their families to develop ways of meeting their needs and achieving their goals.
We both facilitate and refer to other agencies that facilitate mental health and behaviour change programs for Indigenous men who use violence.
We both facilitate and refer to other agencies that facilitate wellbeing programs for partners and children experiencing family violence.
Our goal is to provide a service that works with families in a holistic manner to improve safety and reduce the inter-generational impacts of family violence.
We work from a trauma informed and strengths, perspective, and have a specific focus on the role culture plays in supporting the well being of participants in our program.
