NINI Services
Our community-focused, culturally safe approach to service delivery is specifically designed for Indigenous people, creating secure and welcoming places and spaces. We implement a holistic model of care that fosters connection to culture, country, language, diversity, storytelling, and social and emotional well-being.
We focus on culture, education, prevention, early intervention, and healing through guided therapeutic and safe practices that enable yarning to strengthen connections with culturally safe health and community services. Our unique approach to social and emotional practice fosters a supportive environment for meaningful engagement and positive outcomes.
“We deliver tailored workshops designed to meet the unique needs and goals of our clients. Each workshop is carefully customized to address specific challenges, cultural contexts, and priorities, ensuring relevance and meaningful engagement. Our flexible approach allows us to adapt content, delivery methods, and duration based on participant profiles and organizational objectives.”
Our service delivery has two aims.
The first is aimed at consumers and community
The second is for groups, practitioners and professionals
Delivering cultural and educational workshops built upon one of our greatest strengths and longest-standing traditions: yarning, listening, and storytelling. Through this practice, we support consumers and professionals to connect with social and emotional wellbeing allowing for critical thinking.
Following the yarn, NINI empowers participants to take ownership of their journeys and move forward with tailored action plans designed to meet their unique needs.
