initiative, and collectively embrace challenges, and is based on active engagement,
collective contributions, and mutual support.

of mind and well-being, and is based upon strong community bonds, trust, and shared

  • Strengths-based - an approach to community development that focuses on identifying and
harnessing the existing strengths, resources, and potential within a community to foster
sustainable growth and promote positive change.
  • Trauma-informed - an approach to working with people that prioritises understanding and
addressing the impact of trauma.
