Description
This report details findings from a traditional healing practices pilot, Jalngangurru Healing, which was trialled as a service model for the towns of Derby and Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley of Western Australia during August 2022 to October 2023. Under the auspices of the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Cultural Centre (KALACC), Yiriman Women was funded by the Western Australian Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA) in 2018 to establish a Traditional Healing Practices Pilot (THPP). The THPP was one of 45 activities funded across nine communities under the Kimberley Aboriginal Suicide Prevention Trial (KASPT), which began in 2016. The Kimberley was one of 12 regions across Australia that was chosen to participate in the National Suicide Prevention Trial, a systems-based approach to suicide prevention. Jalngangurru Healing is now a project directly under the management of KALACC.
This summary report presents key findings from a Developmental Evaluation of the service. A literature review will be published as an accompanying report. Requests to access the full final evaluation report can be made through KALACC.
