"Young Bruthas" Men's Healing Group
What is "Young Bruthas"
Worldview "Young Bruthas" Program
“Young Bruthas” Men’s Healing Group is a 6-month program for First Nations men. Led by First Nations mentors, the program provides a culturally safe space where our men can connect with their culture and identity, share lived experience, build resilience, develop emotional regulation skills, and create an environment for positive peer engagement.
Young Bruthas is about real experiences, not classroom talk. We focus on providing experiences in a positive, culturally safe environment – experiences that centre First Nations culture and allow our men to develop the tools to build positive habits and relationships.
Activities in the program are based on competition without confrontation, building confidence, teamwork, and self-control. Participants in the program get hands-on experiences including interactive visits to elite sporting and training facilities. They also get to hear lived experiences from First Nations mentors and community leaders.
Currently available in our Hume, ACT location.
