Strengthening Practice to Better Support Women and Families

Throughout the conference, our team explored emerging practice in recognising patterns of coercive control, strengthening risk assessment, centring the voices of children and victim-survivors, and building more effective, trauma-informed responses. These learnings will continue to inform and strengthen the support we provide to women, children and families across the Fitzroy Valley.

While in Warrane, the team also took the opportunity to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, where they viewed Walmajarri artist Prince's major mural installation from Mangkaja Arts, as well as Tony Albert's powerful exhibition, Not a Souvenir.

Connecting with these works was a meaningful reminder of the important role that Aboriginal art plays in truth-telling, identity, healing and cultural strength. Experiences like these enrich our practice by reinforcing the importance of culture and community in creating safe, healing-informed services.

Marninwarntikura is committed to investing in the ongoing professional development of our workforce. By learning from leading practitioners and connecting with Aboriginal artists and communities across the country, our team continues to bring new knowledge, ideas and inspiration back to the Kimberley, strengthening our services for the women, children and families we walk alongside every day.
