QLD Multicultural Award Winners!

August 31, 2016/in NEWS

Great news! FHEAL was presented the QLD Multicultural Award the Saturday before last. Presented by MP Grace Grace during a great lunch

at the Logan Entertainment Centre, our Chair Adele Rice received it on our behalf. The actual award is a framed ceramic piece made by an African girl with great creativity. So appropriate! Big thanks to our Board, our therapists, and our supporters in getting this award.

Thanks also to the Commonwealth Bank Staff Fund, who have granted us $5000 for a project at Woodridge State High School. Our Board Director, Lisa Siganto, accepted the cheque along with therapists Gayle Crisp and Judith Gordon.

FHEAL participated last Saturday in “Communities Together”, a free seminar day put on by the QLD Multicultural Council. There is always something exciting going on!

Acknowledgement of Country

HEAL acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of the land where we live and work and we pay our respect to their cultures, their ancestors and their elders – past, present and emerging. We recognise the continuing trauma caused by losses of children, language, lore and land and the impact that this continues to have on psychological, physical and spiritual wellbeing. We recognise that since time immemorial, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have nurtured communities of belonging and thriving and we work in solidarity towards a future of healing and justice.
