Kornar Winmil Yunti (KWY) delivers Taikurtirna Tirra-apinthi – Making Safer Families to Aboriginal families in western Adelaide where children are at immediate risk of being placed in out-of-home care. Children are referred to this program from the Department of Child Protection.
Taikurtirna Tirra-Apinthi is a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, family focused approach to reduce the number of Aboriginal children entering out-of-home care.
Taikurtirna Tirra-Apanthi is focused on achieving the safety, wellbeing, and empowerment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The model is based on the understanding that it is in the child’s best interests to remain in the care of their family if it is a safe option.
Practitioners support parents to address the issues that place their children at risk of being removed. This model includes family-led decision making, coordination of safety plans, therapeutic and trauma-informed practical support.
This is an outreach model to engage families where they feel safe, either in their homes or elsewhere.
