About Maruamli
Developed by Aunty Lorraine Peeters, a respected Aboriginal Elder, Stolen Generations survivor and creator of the Marumali Program® which provides a culturally grounded and trauma informed framework for individuals, communities and the workers who support them. Grounded in cultural knowledge and lived experience, the program builds understanding, strengthens cultural capability and supports healing, identity, connection and strength.
A Journey of Healing - Our Healing Model
Our healing model recognises that healing is holistic and deeply personal. It is grounded in Aboriginal knowledge and understands that healing is strengthened through identity, culture, family and community. The program focuses on supporting people to understand trauma, to reconnect with their strengths and move foward in ways that are meaningful to them.
For more than 25 years the Marumali Program® has supported healing through a culturally grounded approach informed by Aboriginal knowledge and lived experience. Independently evaluated and recognised within national Aboriginal mental health and social and emotional wellbeing initiatives, the program has helped build individual, family and community capacity whilst strengthening understanding of trauma and cultural identity.
Delivered through more than 350 workshops to over 3,400 participants across Australia, we continue to support the ongoing need for culturally grounded, trauma informed practice.
