In November 2022, ABC News ran an online feature article about the impact of HEAL, hearing from past participant Omal Ahmed about how the support of her HEAL therapist at Yeronga State High School helped her cope with bullying and embrace her identity.
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.
