Mankurri-apinthi
‘Bring Together’ Peer to Peer Program

What we offer

Mankurri-apinthi offers peer-to-peer group support aimed to improve people’s wellbeing, create larger support networks, improve knowledge, and enhance self-esteem and confidence. This program is run with the Australian Centre for Social Innovation. 

 

We believe the sharing of culture, lived experience and knowledge happens organically when mob meet.

We’re a support network, run by community.

We empower peer volunteers and families to come together and make choices about what they want to learn and do.

Community Led Groups:

• Each group has a minimum of 1 peer volunteer who is supported by KWY

• Each group has up to 6 peers working towards goals that meet weekly

• Volunteers lead group yarning as group members work out their goals and what they want out of their groups

• Possible group themes could be anything from cooking, culture, relationships, problem solving, time management, budgeting, or anything the group chooses.
