Our Yarn Safe video is designed for mainstream family violence and universal community services practitioners and organisations who support and work alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members experiencing and impacted by family violence.
At VACCA we take every step to ensure our language is culturally safe and inclusive, which aligns with our Cultural Therapeutic Ways. This video demonstrates instances where language can trigger and retraumatise community members, creating barriers to engagement with programs and services and accessing safety. It provides information and guidance to support the use of culturally safe language.
We are dedicated to strengthening and growing cultural safety and competency to support the wellbeing and healing of our mob.
