An evaluation of the Collective Healing Grants program demonstrates the positive impact of community-led initiatives for Stolen Generations survivors, descendants and families.

The evaluation highlights improved wellbeing, stronger family and community connections, and meaningful intergenerational healing. It also reinforces the importance of flexible, community-controlled funding and continued, longer-term investment to meet growing demand as survivors age.

Importantly, the findings demonstrate the vital role of the Stolen Generations sector across the country to deliver culturally safe, trauma-aware healing initiatives grounded in community knowledge, lived experience and self-determination.
