About this journal article:

This research maps services across Australia that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people affected by trauma, violence or abuse. It looks at what services currently exist, who they support, how they are designed, and what makes them work well. The findings will help guide the development of future Aboriginal-led healing and trauma services in Victoria and beyond.
