But for the new recruits, we are hoping that with Opal there will be no new recruits to petrol sniffing” Janet Inyika.

The words that still ring true for a youth service that emerged to fight to save young people from petrol sniffing These petrol sniffers are our own flesh and blood, yet we have lost them all to petro...I found boredom and hunger were main issues with the sniffers we had. Food, music,guitars and things to do eg making spears and generally keeping busy. Stay strong ✌🏼

Have we stopped domestic & family violence in remote communities? No. But we have made women much safer.
Kunbry Peipai (pictured) sat alongside staff and listened to women talking about domestic violence at early NPYWC meetings. The women were upset about police response to violence and the small jail sentences for offenders. Kunbry became a key founder and driver of the Domestic & Family Violence Service in the early years…Read more here:

It’s something that has been held onto which came from the days before there were hospitals and other forms of doctors. We were responsible for looking after all the people. We have held onto that knowledge…” Rupert Peter ....The Ngangkari program supports traditional and new ways of healing, mental health & wellbeing. It is still fiercely directed by ngangkari and senior Anangu leaders. Rupert and Andy were the first employees of the Ngangkari program. Their rockstar personalities and profound power as ngangkari's guaranteed the success of the program. Find out more about ngangkari healers here: www.npywc.org.au/what-we-do/ngangkari-traditional-healers/
would love to see them officially recognised and employed in all the remote clinics. Need a two way medical system financially supported on a daily level on communities. (just my opinion)
Wonderful men who did so much so well. They had huge knowledge , kindness and compassion
I learnt so much from those men. We used to go down to the Port Augusta Prison together a couple of times a year and they would do health sessions with the men there. It was so appreciated by the men and the prison.
Two true gentlemen missed by all who knew them
Indeed they do, I was very fortunate to see the Ngangkari healers at an IAHA conference in Alice Springs and also the female elders at the mental health conference in Cairns. The elders have so much knowledge about traditional healing. 🖤💛❤
Two great uncle's. Love your work. Thank you
Ancient Wisdom and history.
