By working together, agencies\u2014alongside family, community, and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs)\u2014 can provide culturally responsive support that respects the young person\u2019s identity, values, and aspirations. Walking together, rather than dictating a path, respects the<br \/>young person&#8217;s journey and choices, fostering empowerment and self-determination.<\/p><p>This united approach helps create a safety net where young people are surrounded by culturally safe, consistent, and supportive relationships. It also ensures that the services provided are not only cohesive but grounded in cultural knowledge, honoring Aboriginal ways of knowing, being, and doing. &#8220;Working and walking together&#8221; strengthens community connections and enables a culturally enriched, collaborative approach that uplifts young Aboriginal people, supporting them on their journey into adulthood with resilience and pride.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; display: inline !important;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Resource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0145213419304399\">Racism as trauma: Experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian child protection practitioners &#8211; ScienceDirect<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce951b5 elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-blockquote--align-right elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"ce951b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"The other thing too, we try to- we try our best to link up with other home stretch providers, especially Aboriginal providers. For example, we had one provider come down for a couple of days to spend some time with us. We went up to see Aunty at another provider up there in Perth and shared some ideas. We do our best to link up with other services, and we don\u2019t want to be known as the service that doesn\u2019t connect with anyone.

As a team, we work on cultural reflective practices together. For example, in one instance, a colleague brought in some of his mum\u2019s artwork, including a baby\u2019s face painted with cultural designs. I brought some of my son\u2019s braids and artwork, and another colleague contributed dot-painted rocks. We placed these items in the center of a yarning circle, almost like a symbolic fire, as a focal point for our discussions.
