NINI is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation dedicated to promoting self-determination and providing culturally safe treatments, trauma-informed approaches, strength-based interventions, and therapeutic services for Indigenous Australians, so families and communities are safe and healthy.

Preventing Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence

NINI is dedicated to working in DFSV services to support safe families. A model of Prevention > Early Intervention > Response > Recovery and healing

Educating our mob to live safe responsible lives, free of crime

Educating our communities about risk factors and triggers, their causes, and the link between risk and recidivism can help reduce criminogenic behaviours.

Increasing Social and Emotional Wellbeing

The use of a National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Mental Health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) indicates a commitment to evidence-based and nationally recognised guidelines. This framework likely helps guide NINI’s programs and services.

Delivering Culturally Safe Therapeutic Services

Providing treatments that are culturally safe ensures that interventions are respectful of Indigenous cultural values and practices. This approach contributes to a more inclusive and effective therapeutic experience.

Trauma-Informed Practices

Trauma not transformed is trauma transferred, it gets passed down through the generations. Recognising, understanding and addressing the impacts of trauma, grief & loss is crucial in the healing process, especially considering historical traumas that Indigenous communities may have experienced. A specialised trauma-informed approach helps create a supportive and understanding environment.
