KBH Mob Looking After KBH Mob
The Kin Connect Program supports KBH Survivors, their descendants and families.
Using empowering survivor led models with a deep understanding of the issues KBH Survivors and their descendants experience, KBHAC has developed a holistic model of care to support KBH survivors, their descendants and families which underpins the services provided in the Kin Connect Program.
This program encourages and supports sustainable healing programs that addressing the legacy of physical, sexual, psychological and cultural abuse experienced by the KBH survivors as well as the intergenerational trauma experienced by their descendants.
