"Every year, we hear the same story about addressing Indigenous disadvantage.
Closing the Gap targets remain unmet, incarceration and suicide rates
continue to rise, and children are removed from families at alarming rates.

Despite these persistent failures, governments continue to fund programs that
don’t work.

But for nearly three decades, a program has quietly delivered measurable change
in communities too often overlooked by policymakers.

The Family Wellbeing Program is a proven blueprint for healing, empowerment and
generational transformation for Indigenous people. Here’s how it works and why
governments nationwide should be taking notice."
