Theoretical Basis and Guiding Principles
All of Gunawirra’s programs are committed to creating small models of excellence, grounded in the best of child development, cultural competence and effective response to trauma. We develop models which are highly researched, analysed, validated and capable of being widely disseminated to enhance their effectiveness for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. Professionally designing unique, innovative and transformational programs will allow Gunawirra’s work to be replicated in widening circles of effectiveness.
Gunawirra has partnered with ACU and Newcastle University in ongoing efforts towards designing and implementing small models of excellence that are fully evaluated, culturally competent and can be replicated in widening circles of effectiveness. Our 2021-2022 research programs will focus primarily on the Young Aboriginal Mothers Program and Clinic on Country.
Your donation will help us to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island mothers and children.
