Health, Wellbeing and Therapeutic Supports Services

At First Nation Services, we understand that true wellbeing is holistic. Our programs are grounded in the belief that health is not just physical — it includes social, emotional, cultural, and spiritual wellbeing across every stage of life.

We walk beside individuals, families, and communities on their healing journeys, providing culturally safe and responsive support. Whether it’s a listening ear, a pathway to recovery, or connecting with Country and culture — we’re here.

• Group yarning sessions
   
• Cultural reconnection activities
   
• On-Country healing experiences
   

Safe, non-judgmental spaces led by trained First Nations professionals:

• Individual and family counselling
   
• Community-based healing circles
   
• Trauma-informed, culturally guided approach
   

Empowering people through knowledge and support:

• Substance use awareness workshops
   
• Harm reduction strategies
   
• Recovery support for individuals and families
   

Supporting physical wellbeing through:

• Cooking with bush tucker and traditional foods
   
• Exercise and healthy living workshops

Helping mob transition back to community after a mental health crisis:

• Personalised recovery coaching
   
• Support with goal setting, planning, and reconnecting
   
• Ideal for individuals exiting inpatient mental health care or navigating complex recovery

Our people deserve healing on their own terms, in ways that honour culture, connection, and community. These programs are not just services — they are safe spaces where our mob feel seen, heard, and supported.

Our approach is guided by the principles of self-determination, cultural authority, and healing through connection — values echoed in national frameworks and supported by the Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) and the Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS).
